So this week saw the release of Saif's 'Jawaani JaaneMann' which also stars Alaya F(Pooja Bedi's daughter) and has Tabu in a special appearance. The cast is supported by an amazing Kumud Mishra, Farida Jalal, Kubbra Sait to name a few. It is directed by 'Notebook' fame Nitin Kakkar.
What's Good: Performances: Saif is in the terrific form! Alaya is amazing with her acting and so is the mesmerizing Tabu! Supporting Cast does well too! 1st Half: The 1st Half is downright terrific and Hilarious. Music: 'Gallan Kardi', 'Bandhu Ho Gaya' were my takeaways from this decent album. Maturity: The movie deals with the subject with pre-marital pregnancy in kids pretty maturely and does well in that. Direction: The direction is top-notch and lifts this quirky story.
What's Bad: Too Little of Tabu: Tabu is merely just in for 20 minutes and I wish she was there in larger screen time. 2nd Half: When the emotional part kicks in, the movie loses grip and mainly since the emotional scenes are not 'emotional enough' to keep one invested. It would have been great if the movie would have stuck to its original premise and not gone down the emotional side!
Overall, JJ is a decent one time watch mainly due to the quirkiness it has and that beautiful Alaya! It is 'Happy Go Lucky' kind of a movie that is best enjoyed after a tiring day at work. It is 'Safe' (sorry had to do it) to go with 3 stars for this Decent watch.
P.S. I would still recommend people to watch 'Panga' if you haven't!
