Jawaani Jaaneman

A 40-something single man, high on life, finds out that he has a 21-year-old daughter. .., Will he become responsible father or continue to live his free-spirited life ..!! Thts the story..!!

"Kya main lagta hoon unhappy married types?" asks Saif to 21-year-old Tia (Alaya F).

Minutes later she drops a bomb on him revealing that he is her father.

The film is highly entertaining in the first half when the narrative is light.

The pace drops in the second half. Especially, for single men who want to fly solo all their life.

But in the end, 'Jawaani Jaaneman' comes out a winner with its contemporary story that showcases complex human relationships with fun-filled attitude.

This is a good story about relationships. Saif Ali Khan and Aalia F have given excellent performance in the father-daughter duo.

The comedy is more natural than slap-stick. It is n entertaining movie.

Jawaani Jaaneman review :

Remember Ole Ole!

That hit song from Yeh Dillagi (1994) which sorta launched Saif Ali Khan's career in the 90s. Since then, he has delivered many hits playing the kind hearted playboy who loves to live the fast life of booze and gals.

This film starts with Saif recreating his Ole Ole number and repeating his dil phek character from Yeh Dillagi. Obviously, hes a middle aged guy now but still doesn't want to settle down. No commitment. No marriage. No kids please.

Trying to hook up with a girl half his age, the cool dude gets a shock of his life when that girl reveals that she is actually his biological daughter. Not only that, she's also preggers and intends to keep the child.

Jawaani Jaaneman is a decently executed comedy with some genuinely lol moments leaving you with an emotional message that family is what a guy ultimately needs and flying solo can cause paralysis in the long run...Ouch!!

Director Nitin Kakkar keeps the narrative engaging throughout its two hours of run time. To his credit, there is never a dull moment though you know well how this baap- beti drama is gonna end. After all, we have seen Naseeruddin Shah coming on terms with his illegitimate son Jugal Hansraj in Shekhar Kapur's brilliant Masoom (1983). And later, our Salman bhaijaan also faced a similar bhool ka natija in Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai (1998). Ho hum!

Of the cast, Saif can play this role in his sleep now and expectedly, he doesn't disappoint at all. Sacred Games' Kubbra Sait gets a meaty role and nails it. Tabu appears only in the second half but still leaves her mark. Chunky Pandey seems to be carrying forward his 'Housefull' character though he isn't named Pasta here.

Above all, it is debutant Alaya Furniturewala - Pooja Bedi's daughter - who leaves you mighty impressed with her splendid performance. It was a risky role to debut with but full marks to her for choosing this film over a typical dance around trees routine. Jawaani Jaaneman may or may not work at the ticket windows. But surely, Alaya F is here to stay!

As far as I'm concerned, this movie gives us the perfect 'time out' from the daily grind. It's sweet, charming, and has a fine cast. The storyline is tight. Director Nitin Kakkar did a justice with the story. Shot in London, the movie capture the Indian Diaspora in the EU subcontinent. It is a must watch for every bollywood lover in the world. Love you Saif!!

The dialogues are amazing and are well executed. The flawless movie, anyone can watch it N number of times, with anyone especially with family! Saif, Alaya and the meow meow girl. I simply liked the film.

After watching this movie for the first 1 hour, I made up my mind that it's really below average. Quite below average, and can't be considered good at all. It is coming of age adult kinda, but lacked good entertainment completely. Saif was amazing no doubt. He was the charm of the movie. Little Alaya was cute too. But, when right from minute one after one hour, it turned hilarious and very emotional. It left me speechless in splits. I hadn't expected this movie to be this good. Man, Saif was sensational. I loved the movie, enjoyed the second half of it. I loved quite a few roles in this movie. Acting was awesome. Saif's brother was awesome. You must go for this one. There were a lot of mistakes I found, but it's fine. May not be strongly considered as more than one time watch.
