Freaktana A Major Disappointment
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
azzam smail when i watched this movie for the first time, i did not like it to much, because i'm not one of EMRAAN HASHMI' fun, but when i saw it yesterday, i must see it's a masterpiece for an actor like EMRAAN HASHMI.Jannat is the story of a man caught in a quagmire of crime and consumerism as he struggles to find heaven on earth. Arjun is a reckless young man with an obsession for making money at card games. A chance meeting with a girl in a mall, Zoya gives him the reasons he was looking for to move out of his ordinary life. He steps up from playing small-time card games to becoming a bookie. Stuck in a triangle of sorts between the woman he loves and his addiction to make a quick buck, Arjun moves on from being a bookie to a runner for the mafia. He steps into the world of match fixing. Arjun switches on the limelight to bigger, better, faster, more, until his dizzying rise attracts the attention of the police. Arjun has to now choose between the love of his life, Zoya, and this new found success and power. As Arjun struggles to choose between the two, the Don offers the forbidden apple of limitless wealth in exchange of his soul and draws him into his core entourage of money spinners. How far will the horizon of reality stretch as Arjun and Zoya tread a fine, fast-blurring line between right and wrong to find the heaven they have been looking for?just see this movie, i believe that you will enjoy it, if you are looking for a good story, BHATT gives you as usual one of the greatest stories of all the time, if you are looking for acting, EMRAAN HASHMI is at his best, and also K.K makes the music very fantastic. but don't forget: you will cry when you see the end.
Avinash Patalay Emraan – In terms of the shades, the role had immense potential to unleash the true talent in an actor and do what "Naam" did for Sanjay Dutt. Having said that, a confident performance here. Sonal Chauhan –Barring a few plastic moments, her performance is not too bad for a first-timer. The svelte figurine, if chooses wisely can survive in Bollywood. And very addictive smile.Sameer Kochhar – This actor is too handsome hunk to be a police officer. And why was he munching all the time? Vishal Malhotra – there was no value addition of this role to the movie per se'. When the apartment is raided, why does it scare the living daylights of him? And later he jumps in to be a partner in major crime? Bad characterisation!Vipin Sharma –Probably owing to lack of screen time, the character seems unwarranted. Perhaps hangover of TPZ.Jawaid Shaikh - I wonder if it is the actor or the writing department who should take blame here for turning it into a character role. Have we forgotten Paresh Rawal in "Naam"? BTW even the one-way street dialogue from "Naam" is reprised here. Perhaps the weakest villain from Bhatt's camp. Songs as usual from the house of Bhatt's do bear the trademark stamp over it and posses repeat value.Kunal holds the reigns well for the first timer. By another couple of rounds, time will tell.The promos set a different expectation bar altogether in the audience's mind. Cricket though infused into the storyline is not integral to it and hence it would be safe to say that justice was "not" done to the subject.The last 30-minutes could have been easily trimmed to give it a slick finish. The climax was definitely long-winded and practically even the blind can see it coming.PS: The dig at Sidhu.. I agree too!
pegulhane This movie could have much better if director could have concentrated on match fixing part more than a love story. Movie starts with average direction and ends with pathetic direction. The way in which Emraan Hashmi evaluates player's expression is pathetic. Emraan Hashmi again proved that he is a really horrible actor, the way in which he delivers expressions in the last scene is almost next to torture. Sonal also gave company to Emraan in bad acting, the way in which Sonal Chauhan abuses Police is laughable, there is absolutely no gravity in her expressions. The only good thing about this movie is, song "zara sa". In short, this pathetic love story is really long without any match fixing/betting substance.
Sajjad Pathan Poor presentation and a disaster presented by the Bhatts. Emraan and the newly launched Sonal Chauhan justified their roles. Poor script did this film down. Music has been good as usual for Bhatts. Stories about match fixing and cricket may not be able to pull the movie ahead. Probably would have worked in the heap of Bob Woolmer Controversy... The initial part was the routine old love story, with breaking glasses and the love at first sight stuff.. don't know why bollywood does the same again and again? Then the story moves ahead much shabbily with the anything for money sort story filled with match fixing scandals, killing of the coach, underworld connections, and lastly killed for the ring. Probably, when I decided to watch it, I had a lot of expectations from a Mahesh Bhatt flicker, but this one dint keep up with the history of Bhatts and moreover, my own expectations.
