Kisna: The Warrior Poet is an Indian Hindi film written, edited, produced and directed by Subhash Ghai and starring Vivek Oberoi (who plays the title role), Antonia Bernath, and Isha Sharvani. The musical film is set in the British India of the tumultuous 1940s when Indian nationalists fighting for the country's independence rose up as one, urging the British Raj to leave. It is a love story about two people who are torn between Karma (the noble deed) and Dharma (the duty). The film has two veteran composers, A. R. Rahman and Ismail Darbar; the lyrics were written by Javed Akhtar. This film also marks Amrish Puri's final performance. The film, however, did not perform well at the box office. The film was premiered in the Marché du Film section of the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.[3][4]
Catherine was born in India in 1930, to British citizens living in the country. She had a privileged and peaceful upbringing. In 1935, a young Catherine befriends Kisna, a local village boy, and the two share a joyous friendship. Upon learning of this, Catherine's father forcefully sends her back to England.
In 1947, during the Independence Struggle, Catherine comes back to India on holidays and again meets Kisna. Their childhood friendship is rekindled and over time the feelings slowly develop into love. Their relationship is tested by the fact that they seemingly belong to the opposite sides of India's struggle for freedom. Kisna also reveals that he is engaged to be married to Lakshmi.
There is growing resentment against colonialism and Catherine finds herself being targeted by an enraged mob of Indian nationalists. She is protected by Kisna, who faces backlash from his family and community, who were part of the mob. Kisna is torn between his friendship and love for Catherine, and his duty to his country and the hatred of the British Raj. Kisna takes it upon himself to escort Catherine to the British High Commission, where safe passage back to England can be arranged for her. The trip reaffirms their love for each other but Kisna is ultimately forced to choose between his feelings for Catherine and his duty to his country. He chooses the latter and the pair bid an emotional farewell to each other.
In the present, it is revealed that Kisna married Lakshmi, and fulfilled his duties to his wife and country, but always loved Catherine till his death. His last wish was for his ashes to be spread at Devprayag, the place where first love blossomed between him and Catherine. Catherine's last wish is also for her ashes to be spread at Devprayag, so that, even though they both married different people, she and Kisna can be together forever.
Kisna: The Warrior Poet has two versions. A two-hour English version for the international market while the Hindi version will be a regular three-hour feature film with songs and dances.
Subhash Ghai combined the musical talent of A. R. Rahman and Ismail Darbar
to create the soundtrack. Ghai roped in his usual associate Rahman
originally, but had to sign in Ismail Darbar to complete the project as
Rahman was busy with the works of The Lord of the Rings.[1]
Ghai says: "Rahman was my original choice because it is an
international project and I wanted both the festive and soulful element
of Indian music. However, he was busy with the Lord of Rings and
excused (himself saying) that he won't be able to do the whole album. So
he has done the theme song and the English song. Then I asked Ismail to
do the rest because apart from Rahman he has the knowledge and ability
to fuse Western and Indian classical music. The way he has used Ustad
Rashid Khan's voice in "Kahe Ujare Mori Neend" is really captivating.
The music has turned out so well that you can't distinguish an Ismail
song from a Rahman one".[1]
The soundtrack got excellent reviews and was immensely praised. The lyrics were penned by Javed Akhtar. According to the Indian trade website Box Office India, with around 12,00,000 units sold, this film's soundtrack album was the year's twelfth highest-selling.[5]

Storyline
The film is set in the India of the tumultuous 1930's when nationalists
fighting for the country's independence rose up as one, urging the
British to quit. At this time, a young Indian, Kisna befriends and then
shields a British girl Katherine, from an enraged mob of nationalists
including Kisna's own uncle and brother. Katherine is the young daughter
of a ruthless British collector. Kisna takes it upon himself to escort
Katherine to the safety of the British High Commission in New Delhi, who
will arrange for her to board a ship home. A tender attraction develops
between Kisna and Katherine during the journey, a love story that is
torn between 'Karma' (the noble deed) and 'Dharma' (the duty). Laxmi,
the Indian girl Kisna is engaged to, forms the third point in an
emotional triangle involving the Indo-British romantic pair.

Hum hai is pal yahan...
Just came back after
watching Kisna...and it was a bit disappointment..however the overall
movie is good.. Story u have known so far...the love story is
refreshing...but the movie drags sometimes.. and i was surprised i din
saw Subhash Ghai in movie... Ashok Mehta have done brilliant
cinematography..its the best thing of the movie...really awesome...
music is good as we all know but a English song is in movie... Ghai had
tried to make this movie great but he is unable to match up with the
expectations... Coming to performances...Isha Sharwani seems to be in
gymnastic earlier..her flexible body is flexed more than we expect...not
much to do in acting department..but have done good job what she have
been offered..
Antonia had surprised with her acting...her tuti futi Hindi is delightful... she is the winner in this movie...absolutely damn good performance and she is the show stellar...
Now Vivek Oberoi:He looks cool...but below average performance..totally forgettable..the movie being named on him and only established star among three he should have come with electrifying performance...but he gives just passable performance and one major drawback of the movie...
And its being 25 crr movie it ud be very tough for KISNA to get successful...
Sorry GHAI sahab u need SRK,AAMIR OR HRITIK in this movie to make it an epic...
