Jhootha hi sahi - Notepad

Jhootha hi sahi

John Abraham, Pakhi Dir: Abbas Tyrewala
wogma rating: Watch when on TV (?)
quick review: Gen X - it takes everything in stride - pre-marital pregnancies, sexual orientation, double-timing - everything is cool. A group of friends excels in the leg-pulling game and has fun like you and I do. If only, they didn’t end up in a tiring climax that doesn't have a superlative or expletive to describe it. Quick quips are shot down by aimless sub-plots, songs and did I mention, awful climax.

Plot Summary

Boy meets girl. On the phone. Boy lies about stuff. Love happens. Time to tell truth, now what?

What Worked

  • The subtle national (international?) integration thing on the dinner table. A Muslim calling grace and a Hindu obeying.
  • The sequence in the video store.
  • The pink cab!
  • Siddharth flying like Superman.

What did not

Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here

  • Pakhi looked older, much older than John Abraham.
  • Extra weightage to Kabir's sub-plot. If he had to stay that long, he should've come earlier on.
  • Don’t any of these people have any work to do? How do they pay rents and gas bills?
  • John Abraham flitting like a butterfly at the end of the 'cry cry' song.

I just saw movie 2day after hearing a mixed response from from the crowd,most of which was on the negative side tho.But i liked the movie.It was refreshing,dialogues were really nice,acting was decent,music wasnt that great but over all it was watchable and i had a smile almost throughout the movie.I would give it 3 and a half stars.

Perfect site to get a review. I never trusted on any since I was not sure on the honesty. But here I see totally different concept ( external, readers review,ratings,parental Guidance....)

Andy:

I read ur review on RC1 and JHS. After reading the details I derive that you liked JHS much more than RC1. Infact except for last 15 mins you found RC1 full of baseless voilence...rite ?
Now my Q is why rate both the films as - 'Even the keen, wait for DVD'
You could have been a little more generous for JHS and given it atleast a level up like
'Catch on DVD for sure'....no ?

Or RC1 as 'Watch if you have nothing better to do'

Trust me...as a regular reader your review rating does matter to me...and I must applaud your site, its gives good information about all aspects of movies...it helps me a lot before I go out and spend 200/- per ticket.

Neehar:

Awesome movie....i am surprised what has happened to the people of India....if movies like Dabangg can be a hit then this movie has to be a blockbuster hit....its full of comic scenes....a fun filled movie...acting of every actor is awesome...the actress is not a glamour model but she does best what she is suppose to do...Go watch it ......Take it or leave it....;-)

meetu:

@ayaz thank you ji!
@Andy thanks! i might have liked JHS slightly better than RC1, but not that much better. JHS - loved the beginning, hated the last half hour or so. RC1 - was indifferent/bored in the movie except for the last half hour. Overall feeling while leaving the theater was "'Even the keen, wait for DVD".
@surjya thank you.

Venkat:

The Movie (Jhoota Hi Sahi) is really enjoyable if u don't bother about every scene being brilliant.. there are sequences that make you cringe, but the laugter riot more than makes up for it!
Here's a movie that will have you either in smile-mode or laugh-mode for 90% of the time.

meetu:

@Paras i think the last 15 mins completely killed the movie. it was not at all in the same tone.

@Srini i know people who hated the film because of the casual take on suicide attempts and the last 15-20 mins. oh well...to each his own :D
