Jigyaasa

I have seen Hrishitaa Bhatt previously acting as a Girl Next Dorr kind of image in her every film. But this film was different. I heard this every where that people called it a Bad Film in India and blah! and blah! I saw this film the other day when our cable guy was screening this film.

Actually all that i heard Bad Reviews about this film were baseless. The producers may have brought this film as a Sex Drama but it turned out to be a message filled film. The camera work of the film was somehow bad and the music too. But over all it was a decent film to see. According to me, This could be Hrishitaa Bhatt's most genuine and best performance till date. She was good in "Haasil" but as i said, A girl next door kind of role again. But in this film she totally plays Mallika Sherawat.

I would recommend this movie to every thought provoking cinema lover.

There are films that you see and they leave a mark on you. Jigyaasa is one such films according to me. The film starts with an actress talking to you about her dreams and wishes and suddenly you see the actress is dead. She has committed suicide. Why?? This follows the story of the film.

The Film Maker Faisal Saif is not scared at all by revealing the climax in the opening scene of the movie. Because he thinks that after revealing the climax, He is sure enough to keep you tight to watch this whole film. And he is successful in doing that. Despite of the opening scene, You are curious enough to watch the whole story of Jigyaasa.

According to me this is one of the best Indian films i have ever came across. The Film Maker shows that there's lot more than songs and dances in an Indian film. The film is Bold, Raw, Sensitive, Emotional and Controversial at the same time.

Jigyaasa (Indian-Subtitled) is a story of an innocent girl from a poor family who wants to become an actress. The Indian family with values. Jigyaasa will do anything to become an actress.

This feature film shows the journey of an actress from nowhere to stardom. Personally speaking i really liked the film. But there were some questions yet to be answered in this film. First and foremost you're not ready to digest Jigyaasa's end. For the debut Faisal Saif has done a fair job. The performances too were fine.

But Faisal Saif will need to grow more as a Director. In anyways Jigyaasa is a good debut for a Director.

Franky speaking, I am really not the one who writes Good or Bad about a movie after watching it. But here's an Indian Feature Film that really forced me to do this.

Just finished watching this film on DVD. I am very sure that i really have no words to explain how good this film was. The performance of the Lead Protagnist made me believe that this role would have been impossible without her. I am myself an Actress here who dreams to make it big someday! I think this was the main important reason why i got so attached to this film. I am not only talking about US, There are Casting Couch every where else too. But this film not only portrays a reality about the Casting Couch, But also shows the other bad politics played in the Film World too.

As i have earlier said that this is my first ever writing review of a film. Trust me guys this is the film that is making me write this review. I would like to congratulate all the actors and technicians who have made such a beautiful film. I think our film market needs more such kinds of cinema. According to me, A film is a medium that entertains and provokes us with a message at the same time. I really don't know about the others who have watched this film and commented here. But i think that this film not only shows sex but also gives a strong message that cannot be ignored! The story of the film is just UN-forgettable to me as of now. As the other commenter's here have said, The camera work of the film is totally to be ignored. The performance is the plus point of this film. It takes a lot to get such kinds of performance in a film that is dark and hard hitting at the same time. The Lead Protagnist steals the show and the film belongs to her in all era. Music does not have anything to do in this film. Such kinds of films in my opinion should not have songs but just a Fantastic Background Score. But overall a good film with brilliant performance is what i am going to say.

I will especially would like to recommend this film to all the up and coming wannabe actresses who dreams to make it big one day...

Jigyaasa (Indian-Hindi-Subtitled) is a story of an innocent girl and her journey from nowhere to super stardom in film industry of bollywood. According to me this is one of the best film i've ever seen on the life of an actress. Hrishita Bhatt has performed very well. Her character transformation from an innocent girl to a devilish diva has been captured and explained very well. The best part of the movie was the flashback narrations. The three different characters in the movie shows three different flashback of the actress and that is what keeps you tight. The film's duration is of 140 minutes and believe me not a single minute makes a bore view. The camera work is very good. The editing was tight and crispy despite of a drama genre. The direction and story-telling reminds you of a Quentin Tarantino cinema. For the first time on Indian cinema, Scenes of Sadism & S&M have been incorporated. These scenes are decently pictured and do not look vulgar or cheap. Finally a good film to look for!!!
