Jhoom Barabhar jhoom

For a less horrible review, go to sofi's blog

Since i have been lazy this week, and not really doing much in the way of work, I called shakeera and we went to watch JBJ... Thinking that it will be a really awesome movie, since it IS a Yash Raj..flashy, lots of colour, some stunning views of London but, it was horrible.. okay, maybe I'm being a bit Harsh, but it was a silly, stupid, fluffy piece of crap, that is not suited to a Yash Raj... I'm sure some people will disagree with me on this, but the storyline was dumb, and for a two hour movie, the intro to the storyline took up at least an hour and five minutes, with the entire story unfolding (stupidly) in the last 30-35 minutes...

If you haven't heard the soundtrack before you watch the movie, I suggest that you brace yourself.. I personally hate the songs that are half-hindi half-english songs, and there are some really tacky ones in this movie.. Ticket to Hollywood, is all bright lights and dump lines, and Kiss of Love made me wanna puck.. (since Shakeera and i were on that topic of discussion before the movie began)and the title sing gets played five times, with only one line change every time... so at the , you will be singing JHoom, jhoom till you get to bed...

as for the actors: credit should be given to Priety, who lived up to her name, and was the prettiest gal of the show, her acting is always good, and she is always so stunningly clothed, with her cute dimples and gorgeous hair.. Lara Dutta's character could have been done better, excluding the accent (won't give it away), Bobby Doel looked absolutely Hideous with his permed hair and slimy looks (just when i was starting to like him form Humko tumse pyar hai)... Abhishek was as scruffy as ever, and made me question what Ash really saw in him.. oh yeah, i remember now.. its just his surname right??

All in all, the movie is a no-brainer of note, if you feel like just watching a movie that requires lees than two brain cells to watch, and you have watched all the other good shows/not-so-good shows that are also currently on circuit, then by all means JBJ is the way to go, but leave your Yash Raj expectations with the ticket holder before entering the movie...
