Jhootha Hi Sahi

First of all, i am not a huge movie buff. I only watch Bollywood movies after reading a lot of reviews, and recommendations by friends because usually they are a waste of time. Coming back to the movie, it was fun 2 hours. The movie had its moments, funny, romantic and especially the Indo-Pak element was also appreciable. The story is of a guy Siddharth (John Abraham) who somehow volunteers for a student run organization 'Dost India' who reconcile the people trying to attempt suicide, over phone. One day he gets a call from a girl Mishka, who is about to commit suicide. He reconciles him over the phone throughout the night. After that they start talking more often and Sid wins her trust gradually. In some humorous turn of events, Sid gets to meet Sara and tries to befriend her. He convinces Mishka over the phone to befriend Sid. Mishka doesn't know that the guy over phone and Sid is the same. Friends of Sid, Omar, Aliya, Ankur etc were fun to watch. Overall a good entertainer.

I, like most others had a different opinion about the movie. I appreciate music and "Maiyya Yashoda" being a music marvel created my interest to view the movie. Few weeks back, I watch the song on my Phone through youtube and got the link for the FULL movie. Dark room, Night and having wife and kid sleeping, I started the movie with my Bose headphones ON and could not stop myself watching it till end. The story line is very different but very well directed. Scenes are well chosen and situation well crafted. Much different than most of Hero/Heroine centric bollywood movie with overdose of emotions. Movie is based out of London with John, a shy and nerd guy got into situation and he starts lying with his phone friend. Things change they meet with Pakhi not knowing that John is same Phone friend. Ragu and Alishka are Awesome in the movie with Alishka having Urdu acsent and sayings... A MUST WATCH Dear friends when you are in light mood and enjoy with friends....

Technically the movie is very good, especially the screenplay is very good and the performance of Jhon, Pakhi & Raghu is nice as well. Due to this two reason I like this movie. The idea of this romantic story is a new experiment in Hindi movie, which is not acceptable by a big majority of people also the music was not so effective its unbelievable that AR Rahman has given such music.The comedy and romantic scenes were nice and people enjoyed it, the co-stars has done their job well and comedy timings was good.Pakhi as and actress was very good at her role and she looked so fresh, John was good as well in his comic and romantic role. The film didn't run well on box-office due to the new concept of romance and the frequent use of English in the dialogs. I observed that the best part people couldn't enjoyed due to the language problem. Perhaps next time this should be taken care..

This is an extremely underrated movie and it hurts to see such movies not do so well at the box office.

This movie has such a different yet feel good sense of humor. John Abraham shows how impressive of an actor he is through roles like these. This movie shows the best of friendship, best of humor and innocence.

All the characters have perfect roles in this movie and I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful movie and I wouldn't necessarily be able to put it in the genre of Romance or drama or comedy entirely.

Definitely worth the watch....i was reluctant to watch it since some of the reviews were quite bad, but the Mrs is a big John fan, so had to watch it and I actually didn't at any time get distracted and felt the need to play on my iPhone or anything. It is certainly much better than some of the asinine movies coming out of Bollywood ( here looking at you Akshay Kumar who makes way too many movies and whose last few movies were barely watchable,oh god , Khatha Metha made me feel like killing myself for wasting 2 hrs of my life!).

John does a good job ( much better than I would have expected and the director has been smart by having a good ensemble built up around him of actors who complement him and keep the momentum going. Only negative is that the script could have probably done with a little more tweaking, but nevertheless a good effort and something different from Bollywood. Would definitely recommend this....
