Mid-way through the first half of this movie I was totally lost and dismayed. I could not believe that after all the hype, this movie was dishing out something that was just not going down well
or making sense.
The second half though lights it up and the movie becomes what it set out to be fun, romance and comedy.
The plot revolves around two strangers who meet at the railway station and fall in love despite their so called commitments. Saying anything more would spill the beans so lets keep it to that.
Having taken the back seat in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Abhishek and Preity get to share the limelight and put in good performances. Bobby Deol is better with his supporting role and Lara definitely comes out looking hotter. Amitabh stamps his presence well with strong cameo performances.
This is a movie to sit back and enjoy without having any preset notions. Take it as it comes cause it gets better as the movie progresses with its script, pace, and smooches.
Though the songs are not something which one would hum the next day, they all come as a visual treat. The title track however delivers a lot of punch and it's a good adrenaline performance to have the main characters compete on it.
All good things come with patience and so it applies to the audience who should take the first half with a pinch of salt.
Jhoom Barabar is definitely no path breaking film or one that would be termed as a classic. In essence its just a fun filled entertaining ride that will divert your mind from the traffic commotion outside.
