REVIEW: Jimmy is funny
Now that's what we call a thriller! The quintessential beginning of a stereotypical thriller which has been done over and over and over again in Bollywood opens the movie. Then we come upon the murder, unearth the murdered and discover the murderer Jimmy in exactly the first five minutes of the film. And then we see a huge lump of lard jiggling on screen.
The lump is actually a very cuddly Mimoh dancing to a very interesting song called 'Why not Jimmy?'. And then he is arrested. Jimmy (played by Mimoh, if you did not know that yet) is summoned to the courtroom where he accepts his guilt and is sentenced (dhara 302 not less) to hang till death. And then by the time interval happens we see Jimmy hanging to death!
After a full one hour of the movie with Jimmy hanging right before interval, you feel that you've won some relief from his screeching voice (we had no clue why he needed to keep screaming all the time), but NO you haven't. Soon after you come back with a bag of popcorn, you'll realise that the hanging was just a dream.
And the story follows...
Did any 70s hero commit murders? Jimmy did not either. The story follows; we look in to Jimmy's past and find out why he was forced to own up to this murder. Jimmy, an automobile engineer (working in a garage, WOW) by the day and a DJ (who plays less and dances more) by the night, to repay his father's debt had taken money from a businessman who had apparently killed the girl (who is also the ACP's sister). Jimmy had also found out that he has brain tumour (last stage at that) and so he agrees to give up the life of which he anyways did not have much left.
Next: Dialogues that won us over
The review is quite funny, but i do agree with vishal. It is an unwritten ethical code that you do not reveal the ending of a movie in a review. Even on sites like imdb with contributory reviewing, reviewers are required to flag reviews that contain spoilers. I am not saying that we should always conform to all rules, but however bad a film is, you should at least be fair enough to the director to not reveal his ending to the public. It's really in poor taste and spoils an otherwise good review.
The movie could be trash, but the review is excellent. Bollywood unfailingly gives crap movies (99%) and reviews are hardly better by the star reviewers. A sensible review after a long time.
Lump of lard! Okay so at times the comments are but too harsh but the review is damn funny, perhaps more entertaining than the film, and dud vishal, do we really care about the suspense of such films? And even if we do know, would this really help you make up your mind about watching the film?
however, wish the reviewer went a little easy on that boy....
