Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam

This film means to be quirky, cute and comical. It ends up being a crashing bore. And the sound of the crash that you hear could be those plaster-of-paris props that adorn the stage where the cast enacts the worst version of K. Asif’s imperishable romance “Mughal-e-Azam” ever conceived.As often happens, the film must have sounded so much better on paper. All the accomplished actors who constitute the vast cast must have got the joke and agreed to do this intended satire about the goofy adventures of a stage troupe during the week of the 1993 Mumbai blasts.
Kay Kay, who had done a serious gritty film on the bomb blasts in “Black Friday”, slips into its satirical interpretation with astonishing fluency. As a bumbling cheesy ghazal singer with terrorist links (remember Naseeruddin Shah in “Sarfarosh”?), Kay Kay brings a sparkling tongue-in-cheek quality to the goings-on, a sparkle that the film doesn’t deserve. It fails to earn itself the committed devotion of such a distinguished cast.
