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.

Jigyaasa is released today here in theaters. I am a BIG fan of Indian Cinema. Especially of those filled with songs and dance. Though this film Jigyaasa did not have any of it. Still i want to congratulate the Film Maker Faisal Saif for making this bold and controversial film in a convincing way.

I was really moved by the performance of the lead actress Hrishitaa Bhatt. She was just great as from Innocent College Girl to a Vampish Super Star. The story moves in a very thoughtful and provocative manner and then ends up with a sad note.

I don't agree with other comments here because i strongly feel that the climax was Justified well. The climax was really good and acceptable. Full marks to the Director Faisal Saif for pulling off the reality behind BOLLYWOOD (Indian Film Industry). And making such a RAW and ORIGINAL film.

The best part that i liked about this movie was when Jigyaasa was an innocent girl and went to people to ask for work. They exploit her. Than later when Jigyaasa is a super-star, She exploits them. They say revenge is a dish best served cold. This is what follows the film.

The story-telling and the style and grammar of cinema used in this film makes you think of any Roman Polanski movie. The flash-back part is handled very well. The performances especially of the lead protagonist Hrishitaa Bhatt is of first rate. Her character in the movie transforms and travels through the time period. The climax however does full justice to the film, But you start to feel that it's not convincing to the character Jigyaasa.

The film maker Faisal Saif has tried to portray the reality behind bollywood (Indian Film World). And has succeeded in making a film that makes you face to face on behind the scenes journey of a super-star. This film takes names of lots of known personality (secretly) in bollywood. Every scene shows the amount of hard work had gone into it. The film maker has tried to touch every possible topic and issue that we usually hear of on T.V or in any gossip magazine.

A film that is not to be missed at any cost!

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.

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.
