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.

One thing that i liked most about this movie was some very brilliant performances by the players. The film somewhere lacked glossiness that all Indian Films required. The camera work must be totally ignored. The editing was good. However i think that the first half must have been trimmed a little. Too much of explanations did not required.

The second half was good enough and racy. The story telling and direction was simple and good enough. According to me the performance of all the actors especially Hrishitaa Bhatt was daring! The actor who performed Jigyaasa's Mother was simply superb. This film also reminds you of GIA somewhere. But here we get to see the life of a Super Star and in GIA we saw the life of a Super Model. This film also have shades of late actress Jean Seberg. But it is clearly not mentioned i suppose.

A good film with some Brilliant Performances!

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.

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...

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!!!
