Jannat - Preview

Jannat

quick review: Jannat - An engrossing watch which raises some philosophical questions. A story well told but yet doesn't warrant a trip to the theaters.

NOT A REVIEW - Taking a look at what Vishesh Films have to offer next.

I must confess that I look forward to whatever the Bhatt camp comes up with. Pleasant experiences with Who Lamhe, Dhokha, and Awarapan are to be credited for that.

The official site has typical "wo-o-o-ow" Pritam music playing in the background. And you don't need to read the synopsis to figure out that the movie is about match-fixing in cricket.

So, the timing for a movie related to cricket seems ripe, what with the entire nation cursing-yet-following the IPL. Or is it too ripe edging towards rotten because there is a thing like too-much-cricket?

More on Friday...

Hey meetu
This is not exactly a comment to Jannat review but something you'd like to see

1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die
http://www.kottke.org/08/05/1001-movies-you-must-see-before-you-die

Thought it might be of your INTEREST :)

Vikram:

This movie started off very well but then started to become boring. Some of the dialogues were ripped off from "Lord of War" with match fixing replacing arms-dealing. And the girl could dance in a bar (and still keep her "izzat") but betting and match-fixing were too "immoral" for her. And the way Emraan was killed at the end totally pissed me off. Couldn't he just tell cops he is going to pick up the ring?

meetu:

That's an interesting list there Rohit, I should check how many of them I've seen.

Vikram, I thought the point was that by dancing in a bar she wasn't doing any harm, but by betting and gambling, Emraan was making money that aided terrorism.

silvano dsouza:

dude the movie is a good movie, plz go and check out ur tashan review which sucks, u overrated that crap

silvano dsouza:

silvano dsouza:

well said there are some flaws in the film but yet it's a good film thanks to the writing
btw she was dancing in the club to earn money
and was forced but emraan was doing it purposely and cos of greed

silvano dsouza:

i mean writing, direction were good but there are some flaws i agree
emraan performed well while the girl sonal was good too,
the cop samir kochar seen last in ZEHER did a good job

Navin:

@silvano, what are you talking about in the 4th comment (with respect to Tashan). What do you mean by "you overrated [it]"? It's already been given the worst rating possible.

Showkat:

This is a nice movie. I like to watch Imran's all types of film. He is a sexy actor.

Showkat:

Jannat is a very nice movie. I watch about 20 times this movie. Imran is the best actor. He is also a sexy actor of bollywood.
