Jannat, Jannnnnnat……., Mukesh bhatt’s latest flick is now playing on multiplexes; titled Jannat, In search of Heaven, but he found HELL… so indirectly you too see Hell only. If you watch this movie you can’t predict what will happen next, though you can bet on your guesses but you wont win. When I saw this movie I felt for a moment that projectionist might be fast-forwarding it for next show. Fine with messy sequence but unexpected ending is the real height achieved by director, just while watching a scene after interval, you’ll find Emran runs followed by police (Cape town police lead by Mumbai police officer) and then they shot him down and that is the end of the movie…This movie is love story & life story of a person who want to set his own Jannat with his loved ones by any legal or illegal way. (Actually illegal only…) once you come out of the theater, a question will arise in your mind whether this was a sad love story or a destiny of bad habits? No matter director can show both the things simultaneously but I wondered what was director’s intention? Neither he focused on love story nor he completely completed his illegal life….just sudden ending….. I guess now I must be confusing you.
Let me start from START… I mean I wont put the entire story, but I’ll try to bind it in sequence…Arjun Dikshit (Emran Hashmi) is a middle class guy with high thinking, high thinking for high living (Heaven, Jannat) but via wrong way only, i.e. Gambling, fraud etc… he see a girl Zoya (Sonal Chouhan) in some shopping mall, at first sight only he fall in love with her … This girl works in a Call Center, and Imran keeps following her, amazing thing is that he call her at her call center… ahh ha don’t get wrong he don’t call on her mobile number but on her Call center number and amazingly at first attempt only, she gets connected… bravo!!!… I never had seen such a great coincidence… at other side to impress her he keep trying to get money by his favorite path…and then he get introduced with Betting world, and magically he has a sense… he call it as sixth sense… (I find it his first sense)…that he can predict the future of next Ball (Cricket match ball ha…)…so on the basis of this ‘virtue’ he earns money and then he becomes bookie, and then International mafia don Abu Abraham (Sounds familiar na?) takes him in his gang for booking… now he is not only a predictor but also a direct bookie.
Here he gets successful to impress Zoya, now both are together in Cape Town, he fools her that he is doing import export business but unfortunately that get exposed by our Indian police officer… from beginning zoya oppose her for his wrong way direction but he keeps walking on it… in that only he goes in jail for 5 month… when he come back, he try to find her.. (Just because of his illegal profile …they had spat and she gets disappear..)… One day he find her in a Dance bar… she was shown a ‘POLL DANCER’ there, where she shred her cloths so smoothly, when Imran asks her about this she says she is doing this just to get some money for their happy married life….. Gosh!!! This is the height man, this girl doesn’t allow imran to bet on matches saying that is not worth nor legal… while she become poll dance and shred her cloths …and that is absolutely fine cuz she does that to get some money… how amazing, in India this girl was working in call center, dint she find any single call center there in cape town? Nor any other jobs?… this can happen in Bhatt Camp only… after watching that scene I felt to give standing ovation to that actress, movie’s director, producer… to everyone who was connected to that movie at that time, including me… don’t worry… not everyone was complaining about this movie.. There was a girl beside me in theater she was crying while watching the movie… I wondered for what reason she is crying? Emotional (?) love story…?
Well, I should stop here… I urge to everyone, please please please go and watch this movie… really you’ll see something different… and please, request you to keep your brain out; don’t try to raise any single doubt in your mind about movie, for safety you can carry Tiger balm, zandu balm or Vicks action 500… (I am sure these products won’t work in such critical situation…). This 2 hrs ~20 mins movie will give you lots of joy… go and enjoy buddies… ;)
Chalo now its too much for day, c u all soon…arre ha jate jate… Jor se bolo…
Vikram Bhattt Maharaj ki……. Jaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
