REVIEW: Jannat is boring as hell!
She gets him arrested and in the process, Arjun's ring falls dramatically to the ground. How Arjun manages to get out of the fixing game forms the second half of the story.
It's not me; it's the ring
At its very heart, Jannat is a story that begins and ends with a ring. Arjun and Zoya meet because of the ring. They fall in love and Arjun goes all lengths to make sure that the ring finds its rightful place.
But with each passing moment the weight of ring starts bearing upon his conscience (yes, our very own Frodo from Lord of The Rings!). The ring continues to be a major part of the film, till even the climax scene where by its very being it shapes the future of our lovebirds.
Gems of dialogues
If the gem on the ring does not impress you, the ones in the dialogues will. Zoya is justifying her handing Arjun over to the police. In a fit of desperation she yells out – "I love you, so I got you arrested." Now, that's unconditional!
Then there's another where Arjun catches one of his players eyeing a good looking girl. Cheekily he says, "I know on the ground you like fielding at fine leg and off it you like looking at fine legs. But let me take you to a place where you will not only find fine legs but also gullies, slips and deep cover." Profound.
Cricket
There are some very clear references to certain cricketers and real-life incidents. Those who follow the game would probably find many parallels between this movie and real life. There are clear references to Azharuddin, Shahid Afridi and of course Bob Woolmer throughout the 140-odd-minute long movie.
The music was good but the movie not so
Good music . Decent direction. With a bad screen play. N over hyped movie.
Seriously, i started crying at the end. I think the movie's excellent when it comes to emotions and reality behind hidden things. Keep on going emraan. May u hav success in ur career........
The movie sux! Pathetic! Music is good though.
Dude, you seem to like no movie that the audiences like. Your criticisms are highly amateurish and subjective to your own opinion. Filmmakers always toil with balancing a movie for a larger audience appeal and when they can appreciate the mass taste why can't you? Your review are more one dimensional unlike the movies you criticize. Agreed your bread butter runs on running celebrities down but come on that was a tactic of the past and besides everyone does it. Instead of raising the bar on bashing raise the bar on the quality of your review and get it right. I work as an assistant in ad films and understand the huge gap between what a creative person would ideally want and what the people from the business and the audiences may like. I am just 23 and i have grown up to this reality so i suggest you do to. As for the movie it was a good balance of entertainment and drama. I liked the fact the filmmakers gave us the nuances of the betting and fixing scenario but yet did not make it as dry a "news report". I watch hindi movies for entertainment and i must say i did quite enjoy myslef in jannat.
p.S. The way you seem to approach your film reviews if it was for people your way bollywood not have it's uniqueness with songs interspersed in the film. I'm sure a pseudo like you would love to have those removed too to suit your wannabe hollywood pallet.
This movie was very good, especially the climax sequences.....I am sure the reviewer must have gone to the movie with his partner and coyed with her instead of watching the movie.........The acting department, especially by emraan, the police officer and emraan's best buddy, is awesome.....I strongly recommend watching this movie..........
Dude..Ur reviews suck.....................U dont know whats good cinema...Infact u look low on life when u write such a review...Either u were asleep when u watched the movie or its some kind of personal vengance against hashmi....I am not a big fan of his work....Neither had i previously seen any of his movies in theatre but i went to watch this movie becoz of my frinds birthday and dude i wasn't disaapointed......Imran hashmi has out done his self...Dude box-office collections for the movie will remind u to change ur profession...I promise to never read ur reviews again...U wasted my time..
