Jannat: In Search of Heaven...

I would say that except the moral standards and the crime scenes, except that everything was ego filling or more like motivating i watch it sometimes when I feel low and I'm like boom again. Why? 'cause it has some really powerful and will bending dialogues but the movie is fictional if you wanna see some real tough stuff that can change you then check out (Steve Jobs 2017, Lamborghini 2022) it's the same motivation like the people who bend reality or change the world. Jannat is just fictional but it's Wow with bit romance and crime and damn(how much am i supposed to write on IMDb) and actor Emran Hashmi is 100% into that movie, I wonder how other actor could have played that role.

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!

the new movie from bhatt production house has been released to a great hype following the success of awarapan. Don't go to the movie expecting too much. Its just a time killer that will keep u busy till the end.

A gambler turns into a cricket bookie finding that he has a sixth sense of guessing what will happen the next ball. But his urge to make quick money pushes him into match fixing and he looses control of his life and love. The ending is very dramatic which lends the punch at the end. i kind of liked it.

Imran delivers a steady performance. He has done alright in similar roles in the past. the soundtrack and background score is good. Its a good way to kill time on an evening.

Amazing Movie

This is a story of a man name Arjun (Emraan Hashmi) who want to make quick money and wants to live a luxurious life. He loves a woman name Zoya

He is a gambler who turns into a cricket bookie banking on his sixth sense for the game. But his urge to make quick money pushes him into match fixing and he loses control of his life and love. In the end he kill by the Police

With an unexpected start, and a rather unexpected-but-touchy end, this movie was one great ride.

I rushed to the cinema hoping to buy the evening Bhootnath show, which was "house full"...so "i had no choice and in desperation of not wanting to waste my journey i decided to pass my time with Jannat"...I wish I could take my words back...because it proved ironical! Mahesh Bhatt showed us again that like the movie, he can be unexpected himself. With a brilliant and soothing soundtrack, a little-off-the-track acting, a different storyline, and a BRILLIANT TOUCHY ENDING, this movie just has it all.

Critically speaking, there's nothing but the fact that it "did some Hindi-movie-ones" if u know what i mean...? i don't want to spoil the movie for first timers, but for those who've already seen it, i hope you understand...

Otherwise, BRILLIANT! and unexpected from sum1 not-so-professional as Emraan...great work!!! Bhootnath can go later...

8/10.

Worth it.
