Normally I dont watch any Bollywood flick until it runs for weeks in theater or kicks up a fair deal of controversy. I was quite free today, so Jannath happened.
I've been reading good reviews and like all other Emraan Hashmi movies, the songs have already become a hit. How does he do that?? This is not fair, all his movies does excellent business just because of the hit songs, without which most of his 'soft porn' movies would have bombed in theaters.
So, in this movie our dude plays the role of a small time gambler called, Arjun. His side kick is Vishal, the guy who anchors 'Disney Hour' (Boy, how fast kids grow) and the female is some random chick, I haven't seen her in any movie before and may not see her again :p
The movie begins with Arjun losing a game and the movie ends with Arjun losing the whole game :D
Its not a great movie to watch or write about, but there are a few things to watch out for,
(1) Emraan Hashmi's hair style : the just-outta-bed hair style, am afraid, is too realistic. Looks like the dude is carrying a load of hay on his head.
(2) The good cop : He is one eating machine. Maybe that's the new trend in Bollywood movies, I've seen a foodaholic cop in 'Race'.
(3) Vishal : Every time this fellow finishes his dialog, I expect to see 'Quack Pack' or 'Micky Mouse'. Man, he has been anchoring Disney Hour for over a century.
(4) You've got to watch this tense scene where the psyched chick pleads Arjun to surrender to the cops. In this 6 minute scene, she yells 'Arjun' 35 times. Trust me, I counted.
By the way, the movie is not all that bad, maybe I'll give it a 4/10 and I am yet to watch Tashn ;)
