In college Raj Malhotra (Shahid Kapur) was numero
uno. In academics, sports, dramatics and touted as the
next cover of Time magazine. He is wondering why a
brilliant architect like him is grasping at straws to
keep afloat. He has got some negative kismat following
him around because whenever something good is about to
happen, it seems he is doomed to fail. He is on the
verge of losing confidence in him, on his luck.
Hiten Patel (Vishal Malhotra) is Raj’s best friend and.
He is impulsive and eager to rush into situations,
without thinking things through. But he is also loyal
and will stand by Raj through the worst of problems and
impending bankruptcy.
But she tells him no more,
leaving Raj mystified, trying to figure out what this
charm could be. Suddenly his life seems to be on the
right track. He's managed to impress top builder Sanjeev
Gill (Om Puri), into giving him a prestigious project.
All of a sudden lady luck smiles on Raj and he has to
make some important choices - between material gain or
staying true to himself and most importantly - his love.
Priya (Vidya Balan) is a good samaritan, a crusading
activist. Her concern has always been for the happiness
of others, and she has rarely thought of what she wants

prepared for betrayal. However she is a strong girl and
possesses innate strength of making the decision of what
is right for her.

Desperate to fight this
cursed kismat that's hell bent on playing such mean
tricks on him, Raj meets a quirky oracle, Hasina Banu
Jaan (Juhi Chawla) who is a Clairvoyant, fortune teller.
She has got zany ways of talking and dresssing which
confuses whoever goes to her. But her uncanny intuitive
powers hold sway. She is enigmatic and unpredictable,
talking in riddles and demand ten dollars from her loyal
but confused followers. She gives confidence to Raj that
the path to success and realization is reached by
overcoming one's own self doubts and by listening more
trustingly to one's own feelings and intuitions.
She tells him that soon his stars will change his stars
and make everything work in his favour; but for all this
to happen, Raj has first to find his lucky charm and
never let go of it.
Raj even succeeds in
persuading pretty Priya that he's the Messiah who can save
her beloved Community Center from destruction. He also
opened her eyes to her philandering fiancé (Amit Verma).
Raj even manages to thwart the evil designs of
old-college-foe-turned-deadly-professional- enemy Dave
Kataria (Manoj Bohra).
It seems now that Raj has
unwittingly discovered his lucky charm. Lady luck finally
decided to smile on him. Where will his new found kismet
ultimately lead Raj? To the height of love or pinnacle of
success? Only Kismat Konnection can tell…
There is fine chemistry between Shahid Kapoor and the
gorgeous Vidya Balan. This pair is instrumental in making
Kismat Konnection such a beautiful movie. It is slow in
the second half and specifically the track regarding
sermons on ‘global warming’. Except for its slow pace in
the second half, it is a beautiful film.
