Jaadugar: La magie des grandes rencontres

Must watch. This movie is like a song - beautiful and emotion-evoking. I cried at least 2 times while watching the movie. (Maybe more to do with my residual emotions than the movie itself 😂)

Biswapati Sarkar's writing is simply brilliant (fun fact : spotted Biswapati Sarkar in one of the scenes haha).

Everyone's acting in the movie was brilliant. Especially Manoj Joshi.

What I loved about this movie was the fact that it picks up a very relatable person as the protagonist in Jeetu bhaiya. The character is as immature as it can get. This character doesn't understand true meaning of love or magic. The character has good intentions and in his own words "I'm not a bad person". He is taken on a journey where he is taught both love and magic.

The immaturity of this character exists in most of us and people around us. The movie reminds what it means to love someone in most simple way possible. We forget that love is an active choice. We forget that love is difficult. We forget that its not as easy as saying "I love you" or giving gifts on birthday. We forget that love is effort but the rewards of love are beautiful.

This movie also highlights grief and how different people deal with grief.

There were parts of this movie which I didn't like.

1/ Obviously, it gets unrealistic and dramatic at times but its a "love"ly movie. The parts, which to me were unrealistic were how the protagonist changes so easily. I think people don't change so easy without failing hard or trauma. The magic was unrealistic too. So was the unbelievable team playing football.

2/ The movie closes the loop on main love story and the heroine's father. It doesn't close a few loops properly like the protagonist's relationship with his chacha (which I think could have gotten a better closure), the guy with the hand issue etc. Would have loved to see few more loops closing.

Anwar Says: TVFians combined this time and tried to create magic which has failed on every front, except on acting. So disappointed to watch the sloppy writing of Biswapati Sarcar, who has given brilliants like Pitchers and Permanent Roommates.

Direction of Sameer Saxena , who also puts onscreen appearance as Dr. Doshi (the commentator) is totally confused, chosen subject like football, and magic and tried to put Tadka of love but the multiple tangent do not reach to any cohesion.

Only the performance of actors would let you finish this almost three hours long unsteady and miserably slow in momentum movie. Jitendra Kumar tried harder in his subtle way but when the foundation is weak, what can he do. Javed Jaffrey sufferings are more a comic. Avoid and better repeat Cubicles or pitchers.

Simple, humble and heartfelt. Nice performances by the entire cast. Cute and innocent writing by Biswapati Sarkar. The trailer promised a simple, laid-back, no deep messaging movie and it was exactly that. Of course it's not as outstanding as other TVF projects but is still quite likeable. Delivers an enjoyable movie experience.

Javed Jafri steels the show. Equally good perforated from everyone else. Great movie. Loved the storyline. Jitendra has a knack of capturing the moments that can trigger the right emotions at the right time. Hats of to him and team to manage that.

I could have given it more than 10 if possible. So beautiful and so heart touching movie I have seen in years. The first half may be slow but give it sometime and you will have the biggest smile in the end.
