Chandigarh based Nihaal (Jackky) comes to Mumbai for further studies. But unknown to all, he harbours a secret – he can foresee the future.
During his first few days in college, he is bullied by senior students and is even publicly insulted by the college’s best looking girl. Her name is Misha (Vaishali), a rich spoilt brat who hangs around a group of snobbish friends.
After few close unfriendly encounters, Nihaal saves the unsuspected Misha from a bomb blast. He becomes the hero of the nation and finds a place in Misha’s heart.
But just when life was running smoothly, someone close to Nihaal tries to use his gift for his own revengeful purposes. So Nihaal's innocence gets manipulated as his visions becomes a deadly tool.
Will Nihaal's brilliant mind recognise the traitor before he destroys everything that he really loves? Kal Kissne Dekha meaning who can see the future reveals all in the climax.
Vivek Sharma proved his talent as a director with his debut film, Bhootnath. The film turned out to be popular with movie-goers.
Unfortunately, Sharma disappoints with Kal Kissne Dekha. It fails to ignite your interest because of too many sub-plots confusing the viewer. Even the climax is a let down after a tension filled build up in the last reel.
Young lad, Jackky Bhagnani makes an effective Bollywood debut rising above an otherwise weak script.
Being the producer’s son, Jackky gets the opportunity to showcase his acting talent as a dancer, bike rider and a fighter throughout the movie not forgetting to mention his presence in every frame!
Given the right script and a good director, this young man can be groomed into a budding Bollywood actor!
Debut actress Vaishali Desai, successfully transforms her character from a spoilt brat to a caring human being after experiencing the cruel side of life.
Archana Puransingh as Nihaal’s mum provides the laughs and brief emotional moments whilst Rishi Kapoor as the physics teacher and Rahul Dev as the villain provide able support.
On the whole Kal Kissne Dekha is an average fare to attract audiences into cinemas considering it’s the first movie to release after the long drawn Bollywood strike!
