Burning issues like farmers' suicides and oppression by corrupt zamindars are only fleetingly mentioned, never adequately addressed in Kissan which shamelessly describes itself as a tribute to the farmer, and even goes so far as to end with a Daler Mehndi-remix video of the popular Mere desh ki dharti number from Upkaar. Because the acting is uniformly uninspired, and the direction mostly flat, and because this film doesn't even have its heart in the right place, I'm going with one out of five for director Puneet Sira's Kissan; watch it at your own risk.Visit Site for More

* One, KISAAN is the present-day interpretation of Manoj Kumar's classic UPKAR. With changes, of course.
* Two, going by the promos, the general feeling is that KISAAN is a shining example of regressive cinema. It isn't!
But despite the similarities, KISAAN works in most parts because it's engaging. The drama, even though predictable, is well handled and keeps you engrossed at several points. Final word? Try out this desi stuff.
