Jeet

One can definitely expect nothing but loudness and trash from a movie that stars Sunny Deol, Karishma Kapoor and Salman Khan in the leads. More so if it's directed by Raj Kanwar where one can additionally expect retarded film-making. 'Jeet' is pretty much a retarded remake of 'Muqaddar ka Sikander' (which itself was a mind-numbingly boring movie). This one just has much more dishum dishum, loudness and epileptic seizures than its source. Kajal (Karishma Kapoor) is an amateur dancer who witnesses the beating of a weakling at a market. The beating was carried out by a fat dirty goon (Sunny Deol) who probably never took a shower in his life. A CC (corrupt cop) happily arrests the goon who is later released upon bail by a beautiful harlot (Tabu). The harlot happens to be in love with the goon (only God knows why as there is nothing even remotely appealing about him) but anyway. The goon harasses Kajal and her dad but when Kajal utters some bullcrap he backs off and begins stalking her. She is freaked out but once the goon rescues her from other goons, Kajal is turned on and they fall in love. Goon promises to become ex-goon and just when they decide to get married, a rich idiot (Salman Khab) re-enters Kajal's life and proposes. Kajal's pathetic father obliges her to marry the idiot. Kajal howls and throws tantrums but eventually agrees. The ex-goon is furious and he roars like a bear (he's does that many times in the movie). Kajal moves to Switzerland with her idiot husband and ex-goon becomes a goon again. But when the married couple return to India, Kajal is haunted by the goon.

As bad as it is, the fast forward option on your remote control comes very handy. I liked the song 'Dil Ka Kya Kare' that was visualized on the beautiful Tabu. She dances very well. The rest of the songs are bad and quite clichéd with the same melodramatic lyrics. Salman and Karishma dance like epileptic cows who got stung on the ass by a swarm of bees. Kapoor also does a couple of shake-the-fart-off moves, especially when dancing with Deol. Sunny dances like a hippopotamus. The acting is expectedly abysmal except for Amrish Puri who plays the villain with a T and Tabu who is good enough except in the final scene. I can see why Juhi Chawla turned down the role of Kajal.

Except for Tabu's item number and her beauty, I didn't find anything appealing about this silly film. In my books 'Jeet' is a loser.

It's a beautiful movie that showed what Sunny Deol can do with a movie if the script really allows him to be in his element. It's a decent movie that possibly gets 6.5 stars but the extra 1.5 star for the sterling performance by Sunny Deol.

Before I talk about the film I want to comment on Asbohra who stated in the above places review that Salman always gets the girl in a 2 guys, 1 girl situation. Please see HUM DIL DECHUKE SANAM, SAAJAN AND SIRF TUM before talking rubbish. Now for the movie...this movie is a remake of a lesser known classic directed by the actress Simi garewal named Rukshat. The film starred Mithun Chakrevotry (Sunny Deol), Marc Zuber (salman Khan) and Amisha (Kareena Kapoor) and Simmi herself (Tabu). Jeet is a wonderful movie with outstanding performances. Salman comes almost halfway the movie and he is , well, PREM. Sunny indeed gives one of his best performances ever and that says a lot from the actor who made movies like Damini, Ghayal, Arjun and many more. The soundtrack by Nadee'-Shravan has some gems with the evergreen ABHI SAAS LENE KI FURSAT NAHIN HAI KE TUM MERE BAAHON MEIN HO. This is probably the first time you were able to see Sunny dance like he danced here. And about the ending...that's what makes the movie great. Life is not just happiness and sunshine. Sometimes not so nice things happen too. Because I saw Rukshat and rate that movie as a classic and give it 10 out of 10 that's the only reason I am not giving Jeet a 10 but 9 out of 10. By the way there is a small disappointment. They should have had that beauty Tabu in the role of Karishma and Karishma in the special appearance Tabu did.

Jeet is meant to be a multi entertainer - Love, drama, action, music - all in one.

Story is about a a goon who decides to turn over new leaf when he falls in love with a dancer, but when circumstances turn him away from her,things take a different turn for everyone.

The acting and dialog delivery is good, specially on Sunny Deol and Amrish Puri's part.The music is good, so is the cinematography, some action sequences.

There is some degree of overacting and unbelievable stuff, especially towards the end. Maybe those days people would've liked it...but not anymore.

This film is good for Suny Deol's fans

In this action-filled drama, Sunny Deol plays Karan, a hired gun for the local crime lord. When planning to beat up Kajal's father, he sees her and instantly falls in love with her. Kajal ( Karisma Kapoor) hates Karan at first, but gradually falls in love with him as well. Her father, not knowing her secret, arranges a marriage for KajAL with Raju (Salman Khan), a family friend. When Raju crosses the same crime lord, Karan is hired to kill Raju and the unexpected happens.

This film is engrossing, sometimes moving, and always entertaining. It is quite violent, not atypical for Bollywood, and contains some impressive musical numbers. Deol is fantastic in his role, and is especially chilling as a killer. Khan was a bit over-the-top in his interpretation of Raju, but was as charming as ever. Kapoor played her emotional scenes spectacularly well.

Overall, this is an excellent film and well worth watching for Bollywood fans.
