filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

shivamalf its a worth watch movie....i was reluctant to watch it since some of the reviews were quite bad, but due to good songs i watch it and I actually didn't at any time felt that movie is not moving anywhere. It is certainly much better than some of the asinine movies coming out of Bollywood .All actors does a good job ( much better than I would have expected and the director has been smart by having a good ensemble built up around actors who complements and keep the momentum going. Madhavan does a great job. Only negative is that the script could have probably done with a little more tweaking, but nevertheless a good effort and something different from Bollywood. Would definitely recommend this....

bobbysing If you have a big musical hit riding heavy at your back, then it really becomes tough to meet the huge expectations with your second movie. At times directors have managed to deliver an even better product as the second project in the past. But Abbas Tyrewala fails to surpass his own set standards of a good musical love story with JHOOTHA HI SAHI.Starting off with an interesting yet very lazy sequence of John Abraham, receiving wrong phone calls from young suicidal people, the film opens on a pretty confusing note. Though John tries hard to pose as a dumb and self-doubting person in contrast with his famous persona, but the powerful off screen enigma of the star doesn't let you believe in the character he is playing in the movie. And that's where the film fails to impress the viewer from its very first scene which is also long enough to make you feel restless.Further taking his small references from various Hit western projects and again naming the film on a Hit Bollywood song from the Golden Era, the other mistake made by Abbas in JHOOTHA HIS SAHI is to cast his wife Pakhi in the role of the leading lady. The girl, who also happens to be the writer of the movie, has no doubt got some beautiful and appealing looks, but she actually lacks the required star-presence standing in front of the dashing John Abrahm. Pakhi surely could have proved her talent in a more convincing way in another low profile movie. But here as the leading lady of John, she completely looks like a misfit with no exciting chemistry visible between the two on the screen and also looks pretty aged in several shots.So mainly 'JHOOTHA HI SAHI' doesn't work because of its wrong casting choices made by the same director who gave us the hit JAANE TU YA JAANE NA, which ironically had worked only due to its perfect cast and its freshness. Moreover this time, instead of having some emotionally rich sequences, Abbas surprisingly stresses more on lengthy verbal confrontation scenes between his characters which even become intolerable at regular intervals in the film. For instance, the over the top scenes between the pregnant girl and her sincere boyfriend, the suggestive dialogues between the gay characters within the friend circle, the un-necessary remarks on the people living in India and Pakistan and a highly filmy climax leave you simply unmoved.Moreover the leading lady remains the most confused character in the script (written by herself) as she keeps shifting between her two boyfriends John and R. Madhavan towards the end of the film. And that also raises an important question in mind that why Madhavan consistently keeps featuring in such kind of post interval roles where he is not given anything concrete to do on screen. In short on the performance front, there is no one coming out with something exceptional in his or her portrayal of the given role. And therefore the film is not something which can be stated as "From the director of JAANE TU A JAANE NA" as written in its posters.Musically too, JHOOTHA HI SAHI is not the kind of stuff which was being expected from the hit pair of Abbas & Rahman post their major musical HIT JTYJN. Few songs like "Cry Cry","Hello Hello" and "Jhoota Hi Sahi" are good but I strongly feel that our audience appreciates the music of a HIT film more than the below average one. Had this been a good movie then its music surely would have been enjoyed more by everyone, in a different manner altogether. So in a way, the soundtrack gets less attention from the viewer due to the below average result of the project overall. Having said that I also feel that the music of this film may have suffered due to the other major projects being handled by the maestro in that period too as it gives you this feeling in bits and parts in its songs.In all, JHOOTHA HI SAHI can be called as an overconfident product which falls way short of its huge expectations, becoming the victim of its wrong casting choices by the director. So unless you really wish to watch the strong John in a weak role, just restrict yourself from seeing this.

shashwatology First of all, I want to point out to the fact that Abbas Tyrewala thinks he is a super intellectual being and a know-it-all guy, having strong opinions and judgments on people like Deepak Chopra (who is double his age, very senior and a renowned author), where he himself has read 5 books on Indian and Western philosophy; he and the writer (also the actress who failed in her job as a writer and did not one bit suit the role of the lead)proclaim themselves as authority on world philosophy. The script kept quoting philosophers who had otherwise no place in the situations which looked so pretentious and pseudo intellectual. The only person Trying very hard to save the film is Mr. John Abraham who pulls forth the script. Raghu Ram also tried his best to bring life to the dead script with his comic timing in few of the scenes (some of the jokes were really lame though). The film on the whole drags on and on.The beautiful songs by the Maestro A.R.RAHMAN have not been done justice to and have been put randomly where they made no sense. Nevertheless the songs had beautiful melodies and meaningless lyrics (fly fly, baby fly-really???)! Tyrewala, who wrote such gems as Munnabhai MBBS and Maqbool, has directed JHS from a script written by his wife Pakhi. For a guy so well-known for having written engaging dramas, it's surprising he agreed to direct a script which is so scattered, and scenes that seem to be right out of American sitcoms, like Friends, How I Met Your Mother and even The Big Bang Theory.Don't WASTE YOUR MONEY and most importantly your PRECIOUS TIME!!!

shikhar-warrior29 Well Well Well...Abbas Tyrewala scores again , not a hard as the previous one (Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na) but certainly no less , the movie is what you'll call a light hearted sweet, cute , emotional romantic comedy the moves around a Helpline in London "Dost India" which works for the people of India settled in London who are in a state of frustration and are about to do something wrong with there life..mistakenly the "Dost India" Corp prints out Sidharth (John Abraham's) number as there helpline no. it is when Sid agrees to take the calls of those people in dire need to b motivated that he comes across Mishka (Pakhi) and helps her out the same way..both of them get close and "Sid" falls in love with her..but he has hidden his identity of being the guy on the phone and being the one in real life "Will Sid get his love in spite of the millions of "Jhooth" he has already said ? tats what the story is about..Talking about the performances everyone right from John to Pakhi , from Raghu to Anitha Nair..everyone is brilliant.. R. Madhavan n Nandita Sen are cool in there cameo's would have rated it a bit more if "A.R Rehman's" music would have been more catchy all u remember is "Cry Cry" when u come out of the TheatersMust Watch :)
