Jeet

Even though this was released at a time when I used to watch a lot of movies for reason beyond my memory I had never seen this completely. I finally got round to watch this very recently and I can say that it was for the best. Had I watched this at the time I would have probably thought this is a movie that deserves 9 or 10 out of 10.

This film belongs to 2 people only Sunny Doel who had some great scenes in the film followed by Tabu who after Sunny Doel had 2 of the best scenes in the film. Tabu had a handful of scenes but the 2 scenes that stand out are her confrontation with Inspector Pratap Vidyarthi (Ashish Vidyarthi).

Salman Khan one decent scene against Amrish Puri but for most of the film I found him annoying. When he enters into the film at around 45 Min's in, I thought he was doing a poor impression of Shashi Kapoor. This is an actor who I thought gave some excellent performances in films like Karan Arjun, Veergati and Andaz Apna Apna earlier here he probably thought what the hell lets just do the most over the top and really poor acting I can. Karishma Kapoor is a good actress but her performance in this movie was mediocre. Jonny Lever was wasted and all other actors supported fine. The child that Sunny Doel takes in i found could have been used better, he was that balance between good and evil for Karan (Sunny Doel).

The movie itself is a 2 guys one girl and who ends up with the girl in the end. I am not a huge fan of the music from this movie, I hate Nadeem Shravan as they put down the greatest music directors Bollywood had, Laxmikant Pyarelal. That being said i think the best song in the whole film is the Kavita Krishnamurthy Song Dil Ka Kya Kahen Sahib pictured on Tabu. The rest were OK. Finally who was the choreographer for the songs in this movie? Sunny Doel looked so awkward and trying too hard in the song Yaara o Yaara, Salman Khan looked like he was pissing himself laughing in one the songs and the choreography didn't even go with the songs.

Would I watch the movie again? probably buy skipping through to watch the watchable bits and probably watching the whole movie in about 45/60 Min's. This movie gets 5 out of 10 only for Sunny Doel and Tabu.

This is one of the major films that made me love Sunny deol. Jeet excels in all fronts from cinematography, background score, performances and great dialogues. The overall music is mediocre at best except the beautiful solo picturized on Tabu and the first duet of Sunny and Karisma (My most favourite).

Sunny deol is the undisputed star of this magnus opus. His emotional scenes, his screams, his powerful action and melodrama. He is simply pure MAGIC!! Hats off to this brilliant jat. I was surprised he didn't get a Best Actor nomination at the Filmfare that year for Jeet, though he did get for Ghatak. It should have been Best Actor Nomination for Ghatak/Jeet. This was an unforgettable from him.

Salman Khan is a surprise package. Although his entry into the fore is sometimes annoying and overtop (especially some of his funny scenes with Karisma)...But then towards the climax, he simply explodes in the melodramatic and serious scenes giving a delightful performance coupled with his irresistible charm that rightly earned him the filmfare nomination of Best Actor in a supporting role.

Karisma is okay. Her scenes with Sunny and then later Salman are brilliant and equally convincing, although she overacts in some parts as usual and hams. But then her beauty is golden as always.

The rest of the cast are okay and don't forget Tabu in a memorable performance as a courtesan.

A brilliant extravaganza all in all. Watch it for Sunny deol, Salman Khan and Raj kanwar's exceptional direction. Paisa vasool

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.

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
