Jaane Jaan Movie Pre Review: The Thriller That
Promises To Shock & Awe

Featuring an ensemble cast

Jaane Jaan movie has an ensemble cast including Vijay Varma – who is quite the thriller veteran – and Jaideep Ahlawat alongside Kareena Kapoor – which means a headstart. The glimpses in the trailer are already convincing and would make you root for the story. Plus, this is going to mark Kapoor’s OTT debut on Netflix. Does this pre review of Jaane Jaan have to mention it will be a blast?

What We Know of the Story

Maya D’souza, played by Kareena Kapoor, is a single mother and the neighbour of Naroo, played by Ahlawat. Vijay Varma, AKA Karan Anand – an officer from Mumbai Police, is on the lookout to solve a possible murder mystery. His suspect?

The very sus, and his old friend’s neighbour, Maya D’souza.

As the story progresses and things get unpacked, there could be a possible romantic tension between the characters. The question is, who’s guilty?

The Setting

Jaane Jaan movie is set in the hilly town of Kalimpong, Only a few kilometres from Darjeeling. The background’s Himalayan ranges and the Buddhist monasteries’ serenity add to the mystic aura and enhance every bit of the thrill. The nights in the hills and the music are bound to give you goosebumps.

Music

Before we discuss anything else in the pre review of Jaane Jaan, can we acknowledge how suspenseful the background music sounds? Both the teaser and the trailer use this dreamy, electrifying music that draws you even more to the story and the wariness of the scenarios. It is going to be a pretty memorable album.

Anticipated Plot Twists

Even when it doesn’t look deceiving, maybe it is. Shoojit Sircar’s movies are incomplete without some mind-bending plot twists, and Jaane Jaan movie will probably not be any different. The trailer looks promising enough with murder, romance, and possibly some chase. So, get ready to be on the edge of your seat and witness some completely unexpected turns in the story.

The Tension and The Drama

The Jaane Jaan movie trailer hints at Possible romantic tensions between the three major characters. What is better than a gripping thriller? Well, a pinch of romance between the good and the bad. It might not be new, but come on, Vijay Varma and Kareena Kapoor, that sounds exciting! “Love blurs the line,” as the makers put it – The charming presence of Maya D’souza in the backdrop of a criminal investigation will make Jaane Jaan a nail-biting watch this month.

While we attempt to break down the trailer in this pre review of Jaane Jaan, it is still scratching the surface. If you want to know what lies “between innocence and guilt”, stay tuned to watch it on Netflix this September 21st.

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Movie Review: Sci-Fi Rom-Com Which Can Be Skipped

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Movie Review: Sci-Fi Rom-Com Which Can Be Skipped

The movie Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya follows the life of Aryan Agnihotri, played by Shahid Kapoor, a robotics’ engineer who falls in love with his aunt’s assistant, Sifra, only to find out later that she is a robot. What happens later forms the premise of Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, where Aryan and Sifra navigate their way to make the relationship work. While the idea of a human-robot relationship in an Indian film may seem new, the film is nothing but an attempt to test your patience and sell you what has already been sold to you before, but in a different package.

The pitch of the film is incredibly bland and loud; it tries to present itself as a “no-brainer,” but what the duo of Amit Joshi and Aradhana forgot to add to the memo was the fact that no-brainer films are, at the very least, entertaining. This film comes nowhere close to that. Keep reading the Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya movie review.

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Movie Review: The flaws in the flow

The writing of the film is all over the place, the screenplay of the film is incredibly confused, the dialogues include the likes of “Dhumrapan nahi isse sutta maarna kehte hain,” the characters are mostly like caricatures, and the first half of the film is incredibly dull and boring; it’s almost like an extended T-Series music video.

The idea had a lot of potential on paper and has been captured very effectively in films like Her, but the themes of this film are incredibly half-baked. As an audience, you cannot care enough about Aryan and Sifra; it fails to engage you in any way. The shifts in the screenplay are too abrupt and frequent, which throws you off, starting from a breezy beach romance to the pair accepting their situation to random incidents happening along the way that have no significance to the plot or the screenplay to a comedy of errors in the family. The film is incredibly confused about what it wants to portray itself as.

The climax had a lot of potential and could have been the saving grace as far as the writing is concerned. The ideas and troupes could have been interesting, and they would have elevated the screenplay, but the disjointed writing of the film sticks out like a sore thumb and restrains it from thriving.

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Movie Review: Performances

Perhaps the only aspect that can engage you as a viewer is the performance of the film. The chemistry between Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon works well for the film.

Shahid Kapoor has done a commendable job with the role; he is whacky and tries to do his best with the half-baked character and the cringey dialogues. Kriti Sanon is the standout from the cast, as she beautifully balances the complexities of their dynamic. She had a lot of potential in this role and could have done even better if the writing of the character had more potential, which sadly isn’t the case.

Ashish Verma as Shahid Kapoor’s best friend Monty, has also played his role incredibly well and steals every scene he features in. He has a limited screen presence, which also takes away from the film’s overall impact.

The other characters can best be summarised with the fake laugh of Sifra, as they add nothing more than annoyance to the film-watching experience.

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Movie Review: Technical Aspects

The frames of this film can make you go blind (yes, they are that bright). There is nothing new in terms of camerawork; it follows the typical Hindi cinema camera work without any newer element or innovation, which is a wasted opportunity considering the subject of the film. There could have been some form of redemption.

The remake of the title track is terrible. Right from the costumes to the choreography, it just doesn’t work. The steps are awkward, the pairs look uncomfortable while performing, the song has too many cuts, and the costumes are horrendous.

In contradiction to the title track, Laal Peeli Akhiyaan, and Akhiyaan Gulaab is phenomenal. The pair put their best foot forward and do a commendable job in the former, while Shahid Kapoor moves like a dream in the latter and kills it. The choreography in both the songs are both fun and fantastic and has been executed really well.

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Movie Review: Conclusion

To conclude, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya could have been a fun and entertaining comedy of errors, consisting of whacky gags and with the presence of a recurring emotional arc, but the film falters terribly in the writing and execution and wastes the talent of brilliant actors, which includes the likes of Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Dimple Kapadia.

Even as our society still struggles to openly say the three-letter word starting with S and ending in X, Thank You for Coming movie pre review seems to take a bold leap forward in discussing an even more hushed topic – lack of pleasure in sexual relationships. “Aadmiyon ki hoti na ye problem toh bawaal mach gaya hota.”

With the tagline – fairytales jhoot hai, love jhoot hai, orgasms bhi jhoot hai – the trailer of Thank You for Coming gives us a sneak peek into an unconventional fairytale, that in fact resonates with the reality of women across all generations.

This adult comedy has done a brilliant job with casting, as we cannot imagine a more perfect group of friends than Bhumi Pednekar, Khusha Kapila , Shehnaaz Gill, Dolly Singh, and Shibani Bedi in the lead who support each other and try to navigate through the adult life.

Also, in the Thank You for Coming movie trailer, Khusha Kapila sneakily gives us mean girls’ vibes that we just love.

Thank You For Coming Movie: Production

Set to release on 6th October this year, the movie has been produced by the father-daughter duo – Anil and Rhea Kapoor. Looking at the successful record of movies – like Aisha, Khoobsurat, and Veere Di Wedding – produced by Rhea Kapoor, Thank You for Coming looks quite promising.

Thank You For Coming Movie: The Story and Inspiration

Women-centric movies of today are finally shifting the focus to some of the girl problems as well, which are otherwise largely brushed off and never to be spoken about again. The topic of lack of pleasure faced by women in sexual relationships first started gaining momentum in India with the #OrgasmInequality campaign by the condom brand, Durex.

It stated that almost 70% of women in India never orgasm – which went viral with netizens speaking up on the topic in large numbers.

Thank You For Coming Movie: What’s New?

This is the first movie that is bringing discussions around this hush-hush topic on the big screen, humorously of course, setting the stage for a lot of girl talk. Did you know women can freeze eggs to easily have kids after 40? Thank You for Coming talks about that too.

Thank You For Coming Movie: Music

The upbeat and lively music used in the trailer of the movie has us grooving in our seats. It has a touch of wedding vibes and greatly compliments the overall humorous take of the movie. Since the movie is also about finding the perfect life partner (in all senses), so, from the pre review of Thank you for coming we can say that the movie track gets a 10.

Thank You For Coming Movie: End Note

If you are tired of watching Bollywood movies that have the same fairytale romance for ages, in the words of Bhumi Pednekar – is rajkumari ki fairytale hai sab se hat ke. Moreover, did we mention the Greek God appearance of Karan Kundra in the Thank You for Coming trailer?

He is sure to turn the heat up in the movie! As we can guess from the trailer, the dialogues, the on-point humor, the cinematography, and of course the acting of the stars in this movie are going to be top-notch. Thank You for Coming is all set to shed some light on the problems of women that have been shut down for way too long now. Are you excited for this movie? We sure are!
