On the face of it,
Kismat Konnection has all the trademark themes of an Aziz Mirza film- the struggle of the everyman to survive and succeed, the conflict between morals and ambition, and of course love and romance- why, even the main leads are called Raj and Priya. But while even the rather unsatisfying
Chalte Chalte was irresistibly romantic before it became unbearably screechy, that Mirza magic that never failed to connect with us feels strangely amiss here.

Aziz Mirza is known for movies with simple characters. An underdog achieving success is the theme of most Aziz Mirza movies and
Kismat Konnection is no different. But the problem with this unlike his previous movies is the journey of the lead characters is dull and lifeless.

Yup, all's well with the world. This working-class romance really works.
