Jigyaasa

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.

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.

Being a Journalist myself from Afghanistan i can very easily relate to the Character Jigyaasa Mathur. After reading so many reviews i purchased this movie from amazon.com and i was really very thrilled by what i saw on my screen.

The film talks about the journey of a Super Star. The story is very well told. The lead actress Hrishita Bhatt performs very well and from her heart. Especially when she becomes manipulating and dominating devilish diva. It makes you believe that how a cruel world can make a Innocent Girl's life so miserable that she becomes so cruel. The camera work of the film is however to be ignored. But it is the film that keeps you Tight and Going.

The film according to me is somewhere related and inspired from the life of Late Actress Jean Seberg. Her lifestyle, Her way of treating men and especially her mysterious death. I saw that everything in this movie Jigyaasa. I have read and researched a lot about Jean Seberg and i found that out in this movie. The only hitch was that Jigyaasa was an Indian film with an Indian Language. But still!! Daring and Gutsy at the same time.

However i will not agree with other viewers comments about this film reminding of GIA. Because this film is the life of an Actress. But yes! It does reminds a lot of Late Jean Seberg!!!

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.

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.
