Recently released Dharma Production movie, Jugjugg Jeeyo starring Kiara Advani, Varun Dhawan, Anil Kapoor, Neetu Singh, Manish Paul, and Prajakta Koli, is a complete drama with a senseless storyline. People who care about movies’ projection of society and hidden meanings that can misguide the public will not like this movie.

Glitters and glamour do not justify a movie as entertaining, and the movie is quite stereotypical. Let’s look at what we found wrong in Jugjugg Jeeyo movie.

Reasons Why Jugjugg Jeeyo Is Problematic

Page Contents

Forced Comedy

Manish Paul’s character was too much to bear. It was understood that his character was trying to crack some jokes, but they were quite offensive. The scriptwriters need to understand that laughing at something morally inappropriate and uncomfortable will not make the conversation funny. Even in serious situations like Kukoo’s (Varun Dhawan) father’s affair, he made some not-okay comments.

Not At All Entertaining

Do you remember Jolly LLB II? The movie’s theme was quite serious as it was all about courtroom and cases, yet it balanced entertainment pretty well? The judge in that movie was funny, not stupid; the scriptwriters knew that although they were trying to add humor, they couldn’t ignore the fact that he was a judge at the end of the day.

Now, returning to our movie, Jugjugg Jeeyo, the filmmakers thought that a few dance songs, cringe-emotional dialogues, wedding vibes, and targeting women (not to mention in a funny way) would make the movie entertaining. But guess what? It did not turn out as entertaining because that’s not the definition of entertainment.

No Depth In The Story

The theme of the movie was about issues in marriages that weren’t dealt with appropriately. The misunderstanding between Kukoo (Varun Dhawan) and Naina (Kiara Advani) was not cleaned thoroughly. And in a country like India, when an elderly couple thinks of divorcing each other needs to be handled with sensitivity and right judgment, but such things weren’t considered at all. So basically, the movie wasn’t about marriage issues but how to let everything flow away in emotions.

Serves The Conservatives

Those who are afraid to cease the inevitable cycle of toxicity in marriages are now even more misguided about the right way to settle things for the good of both partners. And even though they made the elderly couple sign the divorce papers, they later gave the message that the confident man will surely win his wife’s heart and as if she is supposed to let him in if he makes a little more effort without actually him being genuinely sorry. Everything stupid and unacceptable in the movie was depicted as justifiable.

Showing That It’s Funny When A Man Cheats

Kukoo’s father’s affair was blown away in comedy just like that. The movie was trying to portray him as a good man just because he has touched no other woman other than his wife in his entire life. But that did not make him any less of a cheater; then why was the movie trying to lead us in the wrong direction? The subject of his betrayal was neither taken seriously nor dealt with properly.

Bad Dialogues

Anil Kapoor’s Shayari made no sense at all, and neither did Manish Paul’s dialogues. And some dialogues are so vulgar that we do not understand how someone could agree with them. One such dialogue mentioned in the movie is,

“Hum dono papa ki godh mein baithke bade hue hain… ab teacher aake papaji ki godhi mein baith gaye hai aur papaji bade ho rahe hain”.

Is this even a family movie? Some people would not even watch it alone. Let us know if you agree with us and share your views on the same.

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.

Thank You For Coming Movie Pre Review: The cast

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.

Additionally, guess which movie has been officially selected to be premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival 2023?! Yes, the one we are talking about.

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!
