Jhoom: Dimag Ghoom Gaya!!!!. Review on Jhoom Barabar Jhoom

Movie starts with Abhishek Bacchan and Priety Zinta waiting at London Train station. Abhi a total "Desi" Munda and Zinta a "Class" Pakistani Origin Kudi. After general/predictable comedy, they happen to sit on a same table in a coffee shop at the station as the train they are waiting for is 1 hour late.

After some good (not so bad) funny conversation between them, they both come to know/tell each other that they are waiting for their fiancées to arrive by the same train. Slowly, somehow, they both decide to tell each other their Romantic experience (how they met their fiancée etc. etc.).

Fist our typical "Desi" Abhi starts off (flashback) and takes almost 45 minutes narrating his romantic story (with a few not required songs). And then our "Class" Priety starts narrating the story. Train gets further late for another hour.

Believe me, with the slow pace of the movie, and train getting delayed, not only Abhi & Priety were waiting for the train, the entire audience waited for the train. The train did not reach, but the movie reached "Interval".

Finally after the interval, train finally arrives. And story finally picks up some pace. (Now I am not going to tell u what happens afterwards, otherwise, I may end up writing the whole story, BECAUSE, anyone could narrate the entire story of this movie in just two sentences and first sentence I have already written above).

I think almost 1/3 of the movie length is spent on Songs. The “Jhoom Barabar Jhoom” song was the only song (and it was a theme song) that was worth watching. This song was played in quite a few occasions in the movie. And lead character in the song was Amit Ji (guest role). He did pretty well in the short episodes of this song. And finally towards the end of the movie, there was almost 10 minutes of dance/coreography on this song. All was going well with dance and song and then finally Amit Ji arrived like a Cowboy in the song, (it was just not required, it spoiled the fun). Wherever there came a situation where director could fit a song, he did it without fail, whether it made sense or not (for example "kiss of love", total bakwas). For example Abhi and Zinta are sitting in London railway station and they start day dreaming and out of nowhere the song is shot in Delhi Railway station. Even there is a song shot in court room. Too much money spent but no effect on audience.

One thing is for sure, kids are going to learn a lot of bad words from this movie, courtesy Abhishek Bacchan and Laura Datta. Teri ma, Teri ben, Ma ka, kameeni repeated almost in all part the movie.

Only one good thing about the movie, dialogue delivery of Abhishek Bacchan was superb. He has got it from his dad. When he spoke, it sounded original and that was the only thing that makes you laugh in the movie.

Priety Zinta has acted well, but as usual. There is nothing special to mention about her.

Overall assessment, too slow, no storyline, unrealistic, broken, they could have made a simple romantic movie with the same cast, with less money spent and more enjoyable.

Not recommending this movie. Waste of money.
