Jaan-e-mann: Movie review

i have mixed feelings after watching this film due to the fact that there are a lot of inconsistencies in the movie yet the story is beautifully told....

First of all the minuses
1) Was it necessary to show Anupam Kher as a dwarf...what was the sense in this
2) Was it necessary to show Anupam Kher in a double role....what was the reason to cast him as a waiter in a NY restaurant.....what a waste of such a terrific actor
3) Why didn't Akshay know that Salman was the one after Preity in the college when he met him after 7 yrs...one wld definitely remember your beau's sweetheart even after 10-15 yrs...ask me :))))
4) Why didn't Akshay ever ask Preity who her husband was or in that case why didn't Preity ever mention Suhan's name to Akshay....even the slightest hint wld have ended the movie well before time
5) Why didn't Preity ever ask Akshay where he stayed....
6) The editing was shoddy.....easily 15 mins from the first 1 hr and last 30 mins could have been chopped off

Inspite of so many minuses the plusses mostly make up for them
1) Salman was perfect in the role of Suhan so was Preity in the role of Piya. Preity didn't have much to do inspite of being on the screen for close to 2 hrs but she was adorable..Salman put in a decent sensible performance...
2) Akshay Kumar was simply brilliant as a nerdie...his overall look in the film was great....his comic laughter is sure to bring the house down....Akshay is definitely one of the most bankable star of the country right now...
3) Songs are absolutely mind blowing especially Sau dard and Ajnabi Shehar...Sonu is at his best in these 2 songs....
4) Picturisation of all the songs is stunning and the choreography is perfect
5) Shirish Kunder has handled several scenes pretty well...he is atleast a better director than his wife Farah who had messed big time in Main hoon na
6) Visuals are breathtaking...NY is shown in the most picturesque way

However looking at the competition with Don and its dismal opening I feel that this film might just be able to do average business...though there are chances that word of mouth publicity might help it recover its cost....

All in all one of the decent movies of the year.....

Classical side of Sonu

Behka Diya humein from Umrao Jaan is an ultimate song.......sonu is simply stupendous in this song...another gem to his repertoire

Rahul rockkkkkkkkkks

in Pyar ke side effects.....amazing movie...Rahul is as usual excellent...matches his Jhankaar beats performance.....worth watching n number of times just for Rahul....

even Mallika is adorable and decent.....Sharat Saxena and Ranvir are surprise packages....the film has some great scenes as well as dialogues....humor is intelligent so are the situations....story is not at all new but is told in a stylish way

songs gel well and are picturised well....

Bapu remembered

Lage raho munnabhai has generated renewed interests in Bapu's teachings...even the PM has applauded this fact
