Jaan-e-mann

An average movie, which any cine-goer can afford to watch in theatres. By average, I mean the age old triangular love story and a movie with cast boasting of star power (Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Preity Zinta).

However, a different execution style (thanks to our new director on-board: Mr. Shirish Kunder) and nice screenplay overall (with its share of pits and falls too) manages to keep the viewer engrossed.

The first half of the movie is so good that I would be tempted to promote this movie to a 4.0 category but ... the second part is slow and a bore in many parts. However, the climax is unique and took me by total surprise.

Anu Malik is credited with the music for this movie which could have been much better though Sonu Nigam rocks in 'Humko maloom hai'. Anu Malik hasn't delivered anything impressive for quite some time now.

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala has repeated the hit combination of Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar post 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi'. Though it's not the first time that he's working with Preity. Remember, the 'Piya Piya' song?



Story: There was a dude (Salman) and a geek (Akshay). Both loved a beauty (Preity). Ten years pass. The dude lives in his dream world, the geek lives in space and the beauty lives all alone. Watch the movie to find out more.



Preity looks georgeous and is different. Much better than what she looked in her last release: Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna!

All actors have done justice to their roles. Full credit to debutant director Shirish Kunder. Me's definitely eagerly looking forward to his next. Check out more about this movie here!

Rating: 3.5/5.0
