Jhankaar Beats

Not the greatest movie, not the worst. The biggest problem with this movie was that it was too slow the entire way until the end where it red-lined. Not the greatest direction, but the dialogue kept the movie afloat and interesting. Great performances from Rahul Bose and Sanjay Suri and Juhi Chawla. shayan mushi was OK, not the best, but he put in effort. This movie could have been much better and more entertaining if it moved faster. It seemed like a drag and I ended up skipping the last couple songs except the last jhankaar one. The songs were nice though, especially the one in the church. Lots of stuff can be cut out though, and it would make sense to, it was such a drag to watch.

this has to one of the more enjoyable movies ive seen this year... refreshing to see a well made hindi film.., a script one can identify w/.. rahul bose is the cornerstone of the movie,,, exteremly natural actor.. the songs are to die for,, and for once,, the actors who play instruments in the movie can actually keep time w/ the songs!! give this a 10

Before actually seeing this film, I had little to no expectations, but after viewing it remains one of my favorite films. The story is quite simple, its about these two RD Burman obsessed musicians who are trying to win the musical competition, and the funny circumstances they run into along the way. Excellently written & directed by first timer Sujoy Ghosh, with awesome music by Vishal & Shekar, and great performances from the entire cast. This film will have you laughing so hard. The film also contains its messages about life and friendships along the way. This film shows Bollywood's potential in making great films if it pays more attention to script and character development. Though the film does not carry any huge superstars (Except for Juhi Chawla), this film is a must see. A++

This is a good movie for the Indian standards. Obviously, Ghosh knows what he's making and how he has to make it!! The comedy is very natural and brilliantly done by all characters. Rahul Bose being exceptional. He is one very rare combination, who can cater both art and commercial movies. Sanjay Suri did a fair job. Shyan Munshi that models can also act.

Music is good. It is something to die for and a tribute to R.D. Burman.

The script of the film is so fresh.

Hope movies like this will become the benchmarks in Bollywood, where Subhash Ghai is great with his Kisna.

The movie is about two guys (and later three) who are major RD Burman fans, and musicians themselves. The story is about how they keep on trying to win a particular music festival over the years, and in the background their changing lives.

The movie is unlike any other Bollywood movie I have seen. If I am forced to compare with another movie, then the closest would be Dil Chahta hai. Jhankar beats is a light, amazingly well edited and directed movie. A must see.
