Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Director: Abbas Tyrewala
In fact, Priyanka Chopra in the Herman's movie carries the movie on her shoulders alone. Both the stories happen to be love stories though quite different from each other. It appears that Imraan Khan has followed in the footsteps of his father Mansoor Khan who launched Aamir Khan in his 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' (QSQT) though Imraan's movie falls far short in respect of script, music and the treatment.
Still, Genelia D'Souza looks good as long as she doesn't speak a dialogue. No sooner she delivers a dialogue than she is exposed. Though it has some comic sequences, but suffers from inconsistency. This flaw in the movie's story is somewhat taken care of by the deftness of debutante director Abbas Tyrewala.
Let's analyze the story that revolves around the central character of Jai Singh In spite of their chemistry being the same, they are too good friends to think on such lines. But, soon they realize that this chemistry is nothing but love. In the story, Jai (Karan known as Rotlu) is accompanied by a bunch of three friends -- Alishka (as Bombs), Nirav (as Jiggy) and Sughanda (as Shaleen). All of them play their roles well but disappear later leaving no trace.
While Ratna Pathak Shah and her husband (in real life) Naseerudin Shah are at their best, Jayant Kripalani and Anuradha Patel (as Genelia's parents) are sweet and Ayaz Khan (as Genelia's fiance) leaves an impression.
Paresh Rawal is fantastic (his usual) in a comic role. Alas, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan hardly have a role to play and therefore disappoint the audience. Hence, everyone in the cast has justified his or her role. The director though a newcomer has fared very well. The film is good for the young ones who would like to relive their past Thus, the movie would have ended with a proper climax unlike the one we find here. Anyway, the movie will not be a loser as it is likely to meet its low cost as compared to that of Herman costing a fortune. |
