Jhankaar Beats

Before actually seeing this film, I had little to no expectations, but after viewing it remains one of my favorite films. The story is quite simple, its about these two RD Burman obsessed musicians who are trying to win the musical competition, and the funny circumstances they run into along the way. Excellently written & directed by first timer Sujoy Ghosh, with awesome music by Vishal & Shekar, and great performances from the entire cast. This film will have you laughing so hard. The film also contains its messages about life and friendships along the way. This film shows Bollywood's potential in making great films if it pays more attention to script and character development. Though the film does not carry any huge superstars (Except for Juhi Chawla), this film is a must see. A++

The movie is about two guys (and later three) who are major RD Burman fans, and musicians themselves. The story is about how they keep on trying to win a particular music festival over the years, and in the background their changing lives.

The movie is unlike any other Bollywood movie I have seen. If I am forced to compare with another movie, then the closest would be Dil Chahta hai. Jhankar beats is a light, amazingly well edited and directed movie. A must see.

This is actually the very first Bollywood I've ever seen ... and I really enjoyed myself. It's a must see also for people like me who have never seen a Bollywood film in their life.

Give it a try ... you won't be disappointed!

This movie manages to put a smile on my face every time. Since the time it has been released I must have seen this at least 5 times.

The jokes fly, in fact the jokes and the general wit of the film is much ahead of its time. Usually I hate songs but in this movie they got it right to the T. Lovely movie, tribute to R. D and one of my all time favorites. Sujoy, you outdid yourself here.

P. S Mujhe woh taklu ke saath sex karna hai :D.

This is a good movie for the Indian standards. Obviously, Ghosh knows what he's making and how he has to make it!! The comedy is very natural and brilliantly done by all characters. Rahul Bose being exceptional. He is one very rare combination, who can cater both art and commercial movies. Sanjay Suri did a fair job. Shyan Munshi that models can also act.

Music is good. It is something to die for and a tribute to R.D. Burman.

The script of the film is so fresh.

Hope movies like this will become the benchmarks in Bollywood, where Subhash Ghai is great with his Kisna.
