He celebrates the victory by marrying the love of his life Kamini (Urmila Matondkar) and decides to bring her to meet his mother and his sister.
During their trip, Kamini and Ravi board a plane with Ravi deciding to show her a few moves. Kamini has, however, sabotaged the plane and there is no parachute for Ravi. Subsequently Ravi crashes to his death and Kamini becomes Princess Kamini. She throws out Ravi's mother and sister making them utterly destitute.
25 years later, Monty (Reshammiya) is a sensational rock star — the adopted son of J.J. Oberoi and his wife — and has everything but happiness.

Review:
Satish Kaushik:: You are better off making frame-to-frame copies of South-Indian to Bollywood and perhaps you should have done the same for Karz to Karzzzz..
Bad cinema can almost always be expected from Satish Kaushik and if you are to watch any of them, might as well gather your friends so that you can enjoy poking fun at the trashiness.
The makeup department does a good job in making the old Kamini look like a plastic beauty with hints of aging compared to the young babe of 1976.
Though I can see why she would choose the role as it is an interesting part it's just that the film is too bad for one to take notice of acting.
Truly awful remake starring Himesh Reshammiya, who cannot dance or sing well enough to make the musical numbers a success and does not have the acting ability to carry a film of this type.
I never believed he was a famous rock star that made girls faint, and the fact the he shaves and waxes his chest to the point of leaving little scars is just kind of creepy (why would they feature that with all the open collar and unbuttoned shirts?).Some of the locations are beautiful, however and a few members of the cast do not struggle with their roles.
But over-here, there is a new twist, which, simply doesn't work.Urmila reprises the role of Simi, the vamp.
Also, Characters played by Gulshan Grover & Raj Babbar do nothing in the film.
I knew that this was a re  make of the 1980 Subash Ghai hit, "Karz" and also knew that it was about reincarnation.I wonder what made Satish Kaushik do this film?
He has achieved so much with his other previous films which has included "Tere Naam" and yet with this one he has added on just four "zzzzz." In terms of acting, Himesh Rehsamiya cannot be compared or matched to Rishi Kapoor in any way whatsoever.
He is not just able to portray the emotions that are required in such genre movies and his voice for playback singing is, I am sorry to say for all "die hard" fans of his, is no way near to the quality that the late Kishore Kumar had.
Instead he should stick to composing music at which he is talented.The Director has introduced a new actress, Shweta Kumar and considering that she is new, unfortunately for her, the role seemed incorrect to launch her career.
There was no intensity of chemistry between her character and that of "Monty," played by Himesh Reshamiya, which leads me to write that perhaps the audience will realise how capable Mrs Tina Ambani (Tina Munim) really was and that perhaps she should be considered for life time achievement award.Danny Denzongpa plays the role that Pran did, but unfortunately, even though he is a good actor, this was a let down.
The same applies to Urmila Matondkar, who plays the role of Kamini, which was originally played by Simi Garewall.Be warned: Watch out for the song "Ta Ta Tana tandoori nights" and make sure that you are not eating anything at the time as it may just make you laugh and threw it all out and create problems with the person either sitting in front of you or beside you.
While South Africa is famous for its vine Conclusion: This film is a complete let down as well as disappointing and should not have really been made and therefore it is better to watch the original any day..
Himesh Reshammiya is back with Karzzz and yet again as a Music Director, Singer and the main actor.
In future he will be back as camera man, director, producer & even light man anyways this is truly awful movie, complete waste of time.
If you are one of many, who think Himesh Reshammiya looks funny with his cap on then check him out without cap in this movie Karzzzz.
Some people did not like the idea of Himesh Reshammiya playing the part made famous by Rishi Kapoor, this remake has a lot going for it because the original is supposed to be really good (although I've not seen it).
Himesh has worked on some of the original songs and adding new ones.
Another reason why this film had so much hype is because to see Urmila Matondkar, who plays the villainous role originally done by Simi Garewal.
It is directed by Satish Kaushik and he always took Himesh to compose music for his previous films and this time he is taking him for the lead role.The film wasn't bad but not that good either.
After watching it I figured out that Om Shanti Om was inspired by the original Karz and that was a lot better than this remake.
The music is good, the best songs are Ek Hasina Thi & Tandoori Nights and the worst is Hari Om. Overall I won't recommend it to those who don't like Himesh or/and has seen Om Shanti Om. So far the best remake is Don..
Bad acting, some terrible dialogue, and it drags for close to THREE HOURS...this film should be an embarrassment to anyone and everyone involved with it.
The music is terrible with most songs sounding like horrible spin offs of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan compositions.This film is not even worth the celluloid it was shot on, forget about your price of admission!.
Quite simply one of the worst Bollywood movies I have seen in a long time.
I am normally quite tolerant when it comes to movies but this movie tried my patience to no end.Given my affection for the original Karz, I was a tad apprehensive about giving it a chance, which was why I put it off for a good number of years.
After hearing Himesh Reshammiya's version of Ek Hasina Thi I was swayed and decided to give it a shot.
Honestly I am surprised how Satish Kaushik could make such an amateur movie, I wouldn't expect this kind of movie from a film student let alone a veteran director.
Honestly it's worse than a B Grade movie.The performances from the leads, Himesh and Shweta Kumar (daughter of director Indra Kumar) are two of the worst performances I have seen in any movie.
Himesh somehow managed to bag a few more movies but Shweta only managed to star in her dad's Super Nani after this.
I was surprised at Urmila particularly because I thought she did well in the Ek Hasina Thi number, her expressions during the song were spot on.
Some very poor choices have been said throughout this movie, like for instance in the scene where Himesh goes to see Asrani to know the whereabouts of Ravi Verma's family and for some inexplicable reason mid conversation it shifts to a comedy track and then goes serious again.
Another disappointment was that apart of Ek Hasina thi, there are no other good songs in this movie.
The aim of making this movie was to remake karz(1980) directed by Subhash Ghai.
As one can easily see, the movie was meant to be a "Masala Movie" and it actually suffices many requirements.Although music by Himesh was not all bad, first few songs, including Hari Om, are un-tolerable.
A couple of songs are actually good including Ek Haseena Thi, which is directly taken from original movie Karz.Satish Kaushik being a nice director, one cannot expect this kind of film from him.
The major flaw in the direction was: in many scenes, focus was on "style" than on part of story that is supposed to be conveyed.Even if he is not a classical singer, Himesh sung the song Ek Haseena Thi, well enough to compare his voice to original singer..
You find Rishi Kapoor echoing in the whole movie and Himesh just looks likes imitating.Though comparisons are inevitable, but lets drop that and see Karzzz as a movie on its own.
The emotion of a mother had a great pull in the original which touched you emotionally but you will not find it here.Third  Where was the lovable act of Pran as "Kabira" and cunning looks of "Premnath" as Sir Juda?
Gulshan Grover as Sir Juda is also wasted as he is not given the required time to prove himself.Fourth  The Background Music  In the original, a central character was the background score which pulled you in.
I really expected the background music to be chilling but was disappointed.Fifth  The Songs  Himesh always comes up with catchy beats and dance numbers which can be easily played in the Discos and dance floors.
But a subject like" Karz" needs more emotional music and love songs than just dance numbers.
Himesh kept following his own success path of music with beats and sound designs and he forgot to add emotions and calmness in the songs as required by the theme.So, the movie was not as expected and was below the mark.
The Music is Fantastic and Himesh is the one to carry this film Urmilla is great and newcomer Shweta Kumar is pretty but she doesn't get enough of a role.
Remaking a movie in today's times is committing next to knock out yourself and the same goes with Karzzzz.
Ask Subhash Ghai who made the film and he doesn't consider it a success.Well Mr Himesh's desperate attempt to do the role of Monty caused him great failure.
This guy has been a great friend of Bhushan Kumar the film producer and he kept insisted him to make a 'Karzzz Remake' and the friend agreed WOW !Well there is nothing in this movie that I can actually talk about.
Himesh is Worst for this role, I think anyone can act better than him.
The 'Bad' will be much much better.Danny is good but not comparable to Pran.
Music is strictly OK...Best Song would be 'Tere Bin Chain Na Aave' others are just absurd including the weird 'Tandoori Nights'!Now I should come to the best part of this Film and it has to be none other than Urmila Matondkar.
I have gone through many reviews on the net and also here and found that most of the reviews have been truly biased regarding Urmila's performance because mainly they have just watched the film to compare this to the Original.
Although her performance can't be compared to her gem roles in previous movies, yet she was excellent.
But after watching Karzzzz, I have to say my heart went out to the poor guy even though he doesn't perform much better this time.
To be cast as a character who's bumped off prematurely only to be reborn in the body of Himesh Reshammiya is a humiliation nobody deserves.
In director Satish Kaushik's remake of Subhash Ghai's popular 80s B-movie Karz, Dino Morea plays Ravi Verma, the millionaire romantic who's killed by his wife Kamini (played here by Urmila Matondkar), until he returns to seek revenge 25 years later in the dancing shoes of pop-icon Monty (played by Himesh this time).
And pray who is going to digest Himesh Reshammiya playing a 25-year-old while Urmila's meant to be, what, 50?
The film feels like a showcase of the worst ensemble acting you've ever seen.
Veteran talent like Danny Denzongpa, Rohini Hattangadi and Raj Babbar ham it up so bad, it's as if they woke up from a five-year coma and discovered they'd forgotten how to act.
As Princess Kamini, the murderous wife, she lacks the elegance that Simi Garewal oozed in the original, and that terrible accent of hers doesn't help.Himesh Reshammiya – his chest waxed, his tummy trimmed – makes a very sincere effort to pull off Monty.
Suffice to say he doesn't hold a candle to Rishi Kapoor who pulled off the original film on the strength of his charm alone.
Yet it's only Himesh who actually appears convinced about the plot and it's only him who seems to want to make this film work.
Himesh Reshammiya's remake has catchy numbers in his signature style, but it's unlikely that we'll be humming tunes like Tandoori Nights and Lutt jaoon twenty years from now.
I'm going with one out of five for director Satish Kaushik's Karzzzz.
Himesh felt he can be an actor, after the popularity he got as a singer His own music album director decided to make a film AAP KA SUROOR(title too of the album) fine Then the film worked at the box office, So now Himesh felt he should remake KARZ(1980) and get successfulThe promos kept showing his nasal songs, all sounding the same, nothing as g8 as the ones in KARZ Then there started showing some b grade style scenes in promos Himesh was overconfident that the film will be a success he as always went on events and promoted the film and made some fake comments to the mediaThe film released and luckily bombedThe film starts off with Dino Morea in place of the annoying Raj Kiran of KARZ, then we r introduced to Kamini played by Urmila and a rather funny take off on Prem Nath of the original by Gulshan grover who has a metallic arm instead of the glass in the originalThe film moves on, dino killed, cut to Himesh being re- born with a stage song and damn!!
The first half is as lifeless as AAP KA SUROOR and then the only twist where Himesh tells urmila that he is Ravi Verma that too falls flat thanks to himesh's awkward acting The film is as boring as a 80's b grade film of Mithun Satish Kaushik ruins the remake, with every cliché possible thrown in Music(HR) is okay, but excess of nasal tone spoils it, EK HASEENA THI falls flat Cinematography is one of it's assets Performances Himesh went off his cap and came with a Japanese wig, The rest, well he plays a superstar like in AKS here too in the initial reels but when his character gets serious he acts like he is acting in a stage play, he is too bad his expressions when he conveys sorrow, pain, anger are such a joke The heroine is pure wood except those eyes Urmila doesn't age in the film, a big drawback her acting is unintentionally funny at places and alright at places Danny is a sore point, he doesn't impress and gets to the nerves Gulshan Grover keeps doing his madness Raj Babbar, Bhaktyar Irani have no scope Rohini Hattangudy is theatrical.
Himesh is the only surprise in the movie, Urmila is good of course, but she should have signed this movie.
Shweta Kumar has no scope and looks kind of stupid, guess u don't need talent if you are a starkid.Music is good though.
Otherwise the story (which can be damn good) will look like a mess which was the case with Karzzzz.Himesh - 8/10 Urmila - 9/10 Shweta - 5/10 Satish - 1/10Danny - 7/10 Gulshan - (had no freaking scope man!) - 3/10 Dino Morea (Very impactful) - 10/10.
In Bollywood there were numerous movies made based on reincarnation such as Kudrat (1981), Karan Arjun, Hamesha, Prem or recent like Om Shanti Om.Satish Kaushik is back again with this reincarnation tale after his 1995's Prem which was also based on 'punar janam'.
First is casting of Himesh as the leading role Monty, which was performed by Rishi Kapoor in the original, does not ignite much to watch it.
Secondly, debutante actress Shweta Kumar, who is given to reprise the role originally performed by Tina Munim.
Although his role is interesting and performed his best here but he actually doesn't look like a Muslim at all.
Shouldn't it be justified with reality?The movie is at its peak point only when Monty (Himesh) meets vamp Princess Kamini (Urmila) and the thrilling romances between them flow forward.
But here again something looks fake between the ageing of Himesh and Urmila with their role.
Urmila doesn't suit with the role as a senior woman than Himesh, with whom the latter dates even.
The remaining casts were incapable of making the story hit except Dino Morea who has a short cameo role for about 10 minutes and later sometimes sparking out with past memories.The songs are also average, and only best for Himesh's personal fans but not beyond that.
Himesh improved his acting and body languages a lots after his first Aap Ka Suroor, but only weakness with the remake story.
Om Shanti Om was based on with many references from Karz but it was superb in itself and Shahrukh did almost a comparable performance with Rishi Kapoor.Still then original are always best than the remakes, and same is the case between Karz and Karzzzz..
A Comedy By: Sir Satish Kaushik Mis-Cast: Himesh Besharmiya, Urmila Matondkar, Danny Denzongpa, Shweta Kumar, Rohini Hattangadi, Dino Morea (with really needs to shampoo his hair), Gulshan Grover, Asrani, Raj Babbar and Himani Shivpuri.Wo wo wee wo!
Satish Kaushik is truly an amazing comedian, but its not as an actor but as a director where he truly shines as one.Everything with this movie was wrong, the first of course being remaking Karz when "Om Shanti Om" (which was rather a light-hearted take on the same film) still being fresh in our minds, for good or for bad is a different issue altogether.
A cleavage-showing Himesh Reshammiya, a pink-turban wearing Raj Babbar and a testicle-grabbing Danny Denzongpa are just some of the things to begin with.
People take him as seriously as Dino Morea takes his career.Before I probe further into the details of this sexual, mental and physical assault by Kaushik-ji, let me also mention that the best thing about this movie is also Himesh Reshammiya, who seems to be the only one acting on-screen.
Karzzzzzzzzzzzz witnesses the most cheesy performances that one could ever expect from a B-Grade cast (Denzongpa, Babbar, Grover).Kaushik avoids logic just as much as Gayshammiya avoids good looks (yeah, he's really ugly).
AKS movie of Himesh was good at least to watch because nobody knew the story.
