Yeah Yeah, One more 'Different' Gujarati Friendship Story
Jignesh Vasavada
3.5 Stars
There is something very cute about Jackky Bhagnani, that
innocent appeal, that adorable bechara feeling that makes you want to buy a movie
ticket to his movies. It is this endearing feature of his persona that should have
been used to promote the film, they would have saved all the money.
Still there were a lot of learnings while watching this
movie:
- Who will tell me honestly, is this an autobiography of Jackky Bhagnani? Come on, a wannabe chef being forced into movies? Please, poor him.
- Who did the homework on Ahmedabad? When does Light ever go in Ahmedabad? Unless of course you cannot afford the excruciating bijlee rates, lights never go off here. Premise hi galat hai.
- Love adds speed. Yes, here the family has been searching for the house for 30 plus mins in an innova, a distance that lovers cover in 1.7 mins, yeah yeah that short from Pol to Pol.
- Why did the hero have a GJ-1 Scooter and Heroine
have GJ-4, Aa toh just!!
- There are one too many Mirror shots, guess they wanted to make a mirror image of the original movie (yes yes this is a re-make).
- This movie was conceived and shot in the pre-Vijay Nehra days, else the street food cart would have to be replaced every day of the shoot.
- Since when did YouTube have an office in Gujarat? And why does it have to have a greek/german/godknowswhat language speaking gori? Why?
- I wonder, if Lester D’souza, the owner of Upper Crust, is marrying off his daughter, why will he outsource his catering? Why?
- Never sit next to a Music Director while watching a movie, I have never focused on the sound so much in my entire life.
- Yes, this film is about a Gujarati, based in Gujarat, you know how? None of the characters wear helmet while riding a two-wheeler.
Finally, the Bhagnanis have gotten the mantra of success
right, only that they got the equation wrong. Touch Gujarati family and you
have success, but touch them for a movie then the Gujarati ought to be a
financier!!
Boss, what are the characters doing? Speaking Gujarati or
Hindi? One of the things that Khichdi got it right was the dialogues and their
delivery. Something I feel Mitron ends up confused.
Otherwise the movie is delightful, wish it was in Gujarati,
it would have been a run-away hit (though it has all the makings of one here).
Jay (JB) is a good for cooking things is list-less till he decides
to marry for money. Avni (Kritika Kamra, with puffed under eyes) is ambitious and
being forced to marry. Their lives intertwine and as fate would have it they
become business partners. Whether the partnership will go Band Bajaa Baraaat, is
anyone’s guess (duh!!). Yeah, Yeah, the movie is as simple as this.
Wonder why did they even have friends when the movie was all
about hero and heroine? Guess it was always about three friends (they had to
fit them in). Pratik Gandhi excels in whatever role he has been given. Truly
class. Prateik Babbar looks good, has no role. He needs more meat in the role than on his body.
Shivam Parekh (5 dialogues) is absolutely non-utilized. Kritika
excels in her debut role and seems to be a bright candidate. Jackky rocks with
a brilliant performance. Now, if the film doesn’t work then boss, meet an
astrologer, or actually become a Chef!!!
Watch the movie for the screenplay, cinematography and some
amazing background score. Truly, very high class. Songs blend very well with
the narrative. Overall a good package to spend the weekend with.
And yes, the movie ends with not one, but two songs.
P.S. Please find the
screenshot of the True-Caller identity of the number. I have done your bit, don’t
waste time on the same. Language is Telugu.
