Jhankaar Beats

This is actually the very first Bollywood I've ever seen ... and I really enjoyed myself. It's a must see also for people like me who have never seen a Bollywood film in their life.

Give it a try ... you won't be disappointed!

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.

Jhankaar Beats can be termed as a Bible any newcomer should follow to make a technically sound Bollywood film. I am sure the director Sujoy Ghosh has spent more time on pre-production (special mention - script) before embarking upon hitting the movie on the floors.

Obvious references that might crop are to Dil Chahta Hain which was a story of 3-friends. Here we have 3-couples perfectly characterized into different slots. Couple One: Sanjay Suri & Juhi Chawla representing the upper-middle class of society, expecting their second child. Couple Two: Rahul Bose & Rinkie Khanna representing the modern urban couple on the verge of divorce. Couple Three: Shayan Munshi & Riya Sen representing the teenagers in love, the hero's love and reluctance and the girl's acceptance.

Interlaced around these are the episodes of ad-agency where the three hero's work on a common assignment, conniving next-door ad-agency competitor, the nose-digger prospective client, spiritual next-door neighbor sex guru, the painful divorce process, nagging mother-in-law and finally Rahul Bose's car. The common passion for R D Burman's music and preparation for the competition forms the backbone of the effective storyline.

Noteworthy mentioning is loquacious Archana Puran Singh who this time whispers "mum's the word". And guess what? Her real-life hubby Paramjeet Singh does not get to share the same frame!

All the actors have done their parts extremely well. What stands absolute above all these, is unmistakably the script which is flawless. Perfect emotions blended with good songs and skillful editing makes this movie an entertaining fare.

Roll on Sujoy with your next venture. We are waiting.

This movie manages to put a smile on my face every time. Since the time it has been released I must have seen this at least 5 times.

The jokes fly, in fact the jokes and the general wit of the film is much ahead of its time. Usually I hate songs but in this movie they got it right to the T. Lovely movie, tribute to R. D and one of my all time favorites. Sujoy, you outdid yourself here.

P. S Mujhe woh taklu ke saath sex karna hai :D.
