Hey you al the Filmy Fanatics………UD’s back. and guess what???/.Back with BANG, BANG, ………..Two Movie Reviews at the same time……Not sooooo Heavenly…(Jannnat).., MINUS 123….(123)…….So sit back and enjoy the most carefully and critically written Reviews….
Jannat……..Hmmm in 3 words I would describe it as “ NOT SOOOOO HEAVENLY” ….why?......well the reasons are as follows….
Story : The simplest formula of making it in Bollywood anytime is combining Cricket with Movies.The Basic idea of the movie was very strong in context of Bookie Problems as none in the industry has shown this much on the celluloid before. But I think they could have shown a bit more than this as the subject is too sensitive as it has made loose us many kore great cricketers in the recent past… So..all in all a good story to start with..
Direction: Kunal Deshmukh’s attempt of Handling already a good story with the actors with almost no knowledge of Acting was very brave and quite successful too. He has not let down Mr. Mahesh Bhatt for sure. Although he failed in making the Debutant Actress
Sonal Chauhan act.. Well but it is acceptable considering her Debut movie.
Cast Performance : Emraaan Hashmi stole the show with one of his best performances ever till date. Yet he seemed very weak in his dialogue delivery considering the dialogues he was offered. Sonal as I said failed to make an impact. Samir and Vishal played their parts efficiently … Javed also showed some promise. All in all , they all performed okay.
Music : For Me the USP of the movie was it’s Magnificent Music. Pritam Rocks….Kamran Ahmed’S legendry song “Judaaai” just makes it amply clear that he truly deserves a place in Bollywood. Pritam reminded of his Melodious Music in Gangster.. “Zara si dil me jagah”.. and “Haan tu hai” were among the other ear cathchers.
Beautifully composed and very well picturised songs.
Technicals : Screenplay seemed very weak in tendoms. Cinemotagraphy oF Manoj Soni matched the class of international class. Sound Rerecording was a bit immature. Background Score was okay as only one or two tunes were running all the times…other factors were pretty okay.
So, the marketing strategy of Mahesh Bhatt to make a movie in a budget wchich falls insufficieant if you sign a star like SRK or AAMIR Khan and make it really cheap for distributers and hence collect enough money to make it average or a hit in this MULTIPLEX culture in India. For me, The Jannat was not So Heavenly…
