Jai Mummy Di

Apart from the observation about the pointlessness of making a film like Jai Mummy Di (Let Mummy Triumph) which is a rehash of all romantic comedies you have seen in Bollywood centering on arranged marriages previously, what stands out is the contrived plot. It involves two mothers (who were former college friends) who have gigantic hatred for each other now and which prevents their kids (the characters of Sunny Singh and Sonnalli Seygall) from taking their relationship to the next step. Although there is some comedy here and there, it was annoying to watch the mothers (Supriya Pathak and Poonam Dhillon) fight baselessly throughout the film, with none of their supposedly chafing remarks landing. It becomes too much of a stretch by the final act, by what time you are already bored to death. Not something you should spend your 90 minutes on. TN.

Comedy is a serious business. Indeed, everyone is not just a matter of comedy. If you did not mold the characters in the story in a comic manner, then you failed to make me laugh. The same has happened in director Navjot Gulati's 'Jai Mummy Di.' The film may be of comedy corner, but in the movie, you have fewer moments of laughter and more glimpses of superficial and force humor.

The problem of director Navjot's direction is that he has chosen a skinny line story, which he could not elaborate. That is why nothing happens until the Interval. The story moves at a plodding pace. There are some funny one-liners in the film, but they do not hold much.

The story moves a bit after Interval, but the irrational and childish scenes do not take the movie to any conclusion.

When the reason for Pinkie and Lali's enmity opens in the Climax, there is a feeling of being cheated as a viewer. The glut of songs in the film creates hindrance rather than complementing the story.

Sunny Singh, as Puneet Khanna, has tried his best to create an impact on his character. Sonali is glamorous as Saanjha but has not been able to catch the right tone of her role. Sunny and Sonali were earlier seen in 'Pyaar Ka Panchnama 2', but the chemistry between the two is missing here. Poonam Dhillon and Supriya Pathak have been given the titles of Mogambo and Gabbar in the film, but nothing like that appears in their characters. These two actors surely deserved more. Dhillon and Pathak, are sadly let down by the script. The experience of these two actresses is reflected in their performance, but due to loud and melodrama, they do not remain effective.

Weak Screenplay, Poor Direction with no punch lines in Humor is what I concluded after watching this movie. Luv Ranjan being producer of the movie surely misses this time to connect with its audience. Supriya Pathak and Ponam Dhillon both seasoned actresses were wasted with respect to their character development and repetitive monotonous dialogues which also can be said for sunny Singh as he is now doing such roles from quite a few time to which I would say that he needs to diversify his roles as actor posses a lot of potential

I don't understand the ratings and reviews. Some films are just meant to be timepass and this film is like that. Very light film with no over emotional lines and mood. I liked the film throughout and actually laughed at some points and overall a film.is a good watch.

This is a typical Bollywood rom com. Having said that its understood that the movie has a very non hysterical plot and will not offer anything fresh. This movie will give you some moments of uncontrollable laughter and is filled with double meaning jokes. I would see this movie if its the last comedy left in the universe other than that its a complete time wastage with old nonsensical plot. I would rate it 5/10.
