cast: Emraan Hashmi, Sonal Chauhan
directed by Kunal Deshmukh
music by Pritam
Here is yet one more flick from the stables of the Bhatts. In Jannat though, the moral dilemma plot is pasted on a cricket theme backdrop. And as usual, Bhatt looks at giving us a decent product with a fabulous soundtrack, just enough ingredients to keep lead man Emraan Hashi afloat.
And Emraan Hashmi has enough reasons to smile. He is coming on his own with notable performances in recent flicks like Gangster and Awarapan. The man is growing with each film for sure and is living up to the promise that he showed with his debut in Footpath.
And then there is the USP of how every Emraan Hashmi film ends up having a blockbuster soundtrack. And this time Vishesh Films is giving a break to a new director - Kunal Deshmukh.
Arjun Dikshit is the typical care free man who makes the fast buck at the card table. And that is also when he happens to set eyes on a bigger purse- a pretty call centre executive Zoya (Sonal Chauhan). So Arjun sets about gambling and getting gifts for the Zoya that he wants to woo.
However Arjun's small time life gets bigger when he realises that he is good at predicting cricket match results. Thus he sets foot in toe world of bookies. And his success story gets him a new employer - the Don(Javed Sheikh) himself.
Now Arjun is left to chose between his ladylove or the big money that he is minting. All this while he stays away from the cops that are after to nab him.
PANEL ROOM
The film is opening up to mixed reviews. As usual Taran Adarsh seems to be seeing a different version of the final product. So while Taran finds the movie a well made product, Khalid Mohammed is quick to realise that Emraan deserves something better than all this.
JANNAT is a well-made film with lilting music, gripping script and excellent performances as its mainstay. IndiaFM 3.5/5
If you are an Emraan Hashmi fan, go watch it. The film belongs to him If not give it a pass. BUZZ18 2/5
