JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM

The other day I watched a very depressing movie. It’s called JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM. I really donno wats wrong with these young directors. While KARAN JOHAR ended up with a disastrous KABHIE ALVIDA NAA KEHNA which sure was a boost to the glycerin factories and I was sure disappointed when ADITYA CHOPRA ended up with a MOHABATTEIN after the wonderful flick called DDLJ. SHAAD ALI joins the queue after this movie…his previous venture SAATHIYA being one of the critics favorite.

He has worked as an assistant director in some of the most prestigious ventures of MANI RATNAM, namely GURU and DIL SE while his SAATHIYA is one of the most talked about films of the time. BUNTY AUR BUBLI wasn’t as good as his previous effort but JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM was the end of it. The first half of the movie goes extremely slow giving you an impression of going through some poetry while the second half is too loud to digest. PRIETY ZINTA seems to lose her charm and it’s high time she should think about experimenting with her looks and try to look younger. ABHISHEK BACHAN gets too loud at times. BOBBY DEOL looks wonderful with his blonde look and the smooch coming from a DEOL was actually a shock to the audience. The only saviour here seems to be LARA DUTTA who suits perfectly to her role of a Pakistani chick with a French accent in the first half and an Indian slut in the second. And not to be forgotten, Big B with all those features on his cap and the rock star looks, is a treat to the eyes, I wonder if there is anything under the sun that is beyond his versatility.
