A Still from Jo Bole So Nihaal |
The problem with JBSN is that post 'Gadar' and to an extent 'Indian', filmmakers have been taking Sunny Deol fans for granted. They expect audience to digest everything that he does or what happens in the movie with the sole hope that there would be 'taalis' and 'seetis' galore. Even in JBSN this works till the time the plot is being set. But after about an hour the movie starts loosing its grip. The game of cat and mouse is exciting in bits and pieces only to turn into an absolute letdown when the movie reaches its pre-climax aboard a cruise. The long driven sequence could have been most absorbing due to a grandeur setup. Instead, it results in a damp squib due to horrible screenplay and unnecessary introduction of characters (a Nihaal twin - 'Behaal' and Romeo impersonating as 'Tony Singh') that leads one nowhere and only succeeds in adding more confusion.
On the plus side, there are some comic moments in the movie, notably being Sunny's first conversation with the FBI, when he comes across a spoilt American kid at an airport, when he walks out of the limo and his thrashing of an informer in the FBI interrogation room. But these scenes are far and few between and they too get diluted due to some inane comedy where an actress of Surekha Sikir's [playing Nihal's mom] caliber is shown having fits in India whenever her dear son is dangerously close to a woman in USA! Just silly! Stylishly shot stunt sequences contribute to a rich look and feel of the movie, while the aerial shots focusing on Sunny and Shilpi on a run are breathtaking. |
