Jawaani Jaaneman Movie Evaluate: Saif Ali Khan Embodies the Peter Pan Who Never Grew Up

Director: Nitin Kakkar

With a rom-com repertoire that stretches throughout a long time, Saif Ali Khan embodies the Peter Pan who by no means grew up. And now as soon as once more, the specious Indian rom-com hero returns in Jawaani Jaaneman, a lot to the satisfaction of those that have watched him attraction his approach thru films like Dil Chahta Hai, Hum Tum, Salaam Namaste, Kal Ho Na Ho, Love Aaj Kal among many others.

At a time when Hindi cinema has came upon a fount of reports in problems surrounding male self-importance, virility or sexuality be it Bala, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan amongst others, exploring the Peter Pan syndrome amongst movin’-n-shakin’ urbane Indian men would possibly not solely be breaking new flooring. However Jazz from Jawaani Jaaneman, a playboy previous his top but no longer having a look to relax for a happily-ever-after is a bit of of a novelty. He’s a fundamental man who likes the excellent lifestyles—lives in a swanky area and events like there’s no the next day. His nightlife adventures early in the movie obviously identify him as a person who enjoys taking part in the box relentlessly. Issues are going swimmingly neatly till his previous catches up and he discovers a love kid (Alaya F) who makes her approach into his lifestyles. Writers Hussain Dalal and Abbas Dalal’s script is based closely on Khan’s unswerving, excellent ol’, quite been-there-seen-that artful. I want they’d given the actor extra new subject matter to paintings with, in the early portions of the movie.

It’s simplest when the script introduces Jazz (Saif Ali Khan) to his younger progeny (Alaya F) that we see the attraction shine, successfully taking part in off the resulting awkward scenarios. For the maximum phase the movie maintains the breezy, light-hearted tone fairly fortunately. As a question of fine judgment, this one steers clear of the shaadi and suchlike matrimonial complaints sticking firmly to the father-daughter monitor and growing a lot mirth and humour in the cut price.

The solid, particularly Tabu as the hippie mom is pleasant, and Farida Jalal after a hiatus reminds us of why she stays a favorite mom on display screen. Kumud Mishra, like all the time is a unswerving presence, filling in the slots with utmost sincerity. And Kubra Sait as a girl who desires a mature dating as a substitute of unnecessary flings presentations a lot promise and right here’s hoping to peer her extra steadily, in meatier roles. As for Saif Ali Khan as the desi playboy in London- he slips into the pores and skin of the personality with nice ease and owns it as simplest he can. Jazz, even if an urbane personality isn’t precisely the debonair participant we’re acquainted with seeing Khan as he hardly misses a beat right here.

Then again, is reasonably the best possible reward will have to be reserved for Alaya F. The amateur holds her personal with a bit of luck and shows a herbal attraction, which with enjoy may just turn out to be a undeniable benefit. A mix of sass and innocence, she is undoubtedly a ability to be careful for.

As for the movie’s director Nitin Kakkar (best possible identified for Filmistaan), Jawaani Jaaneman is more likely to catapult him into the league of administrators who can deal with large big name solid movies catering to a much wider mainstream target market.

Given its Fashionable Familyesque tilt, Kakkar’s newest providing turns out poised to attain neatly with the old-in-the-tooth in addition to the younger at center town slickers!

Ranking: three/five stars
