Alicia I love this movie so much
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
shivamalf its a worth watch movie....i was reluctant to watch it since some of the reviews were quite bad, but due to good songs i watch it and I actually didn't at any time felt that movie is not moving anywhere. It is certainly much better than some of the asinine movies coming out of Bollywood .All actors does a good job ( much better than I would have expected and the director has been smart by having a good ensemble built up around actors who complements and keep the momentum going. Madhavan does a great job. Only negative is that the script could have probably done with a little more tweaking, but nevertheless a good effort and something different from Bollywood. Would definitely recommend this....
namashi_1 Abbas Tyrewala's 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' was a refreshingly entertaining film, that despite the normal clichés held your interest.Sadly, 'Jhootha Hi Sahi' lacks soul. Written by Abbas's, Pakhi, this romantic-comedy begins well and offers a few interesting moments, but is mainly, as mentioned, soulless.'Jhootha Hi Sahi' tells the story of a suicidal woman, whose "final" call mistakenly connects her to a man who gives her something to live for.As interesting the idea is, the writing is a mess, especially in the second hour. To be honest, the protagonist, played by John Abraham is an interesting character, but the female protagonist played by Pakhi her-self, comes across confused. Also, the characters who play John's friends, have been given too much importance. And the character of Pakhi's ex, played by Madhavan, is completely wasted! Pakhi's writing is flawed. Thus, Abbas Tyrewala's direction hardly leaves a mark. Cinematography is fine. Music by the legendary A. R. Rahman is super, as always and helps elevate the film.Performance-Wise: John delivers a sincere performance. Pakhi Tyrewala's character, which she has penned her-self, lets her down. Raghu Ram is convincing. Madhavan is wasted. Others lend average support.On the whole, though it offers an interesting premise, great music and manages to bring in a sincere performance from it's lead star, this romantic-comedy still remains soul-less. Watch it, if you must!
Ankur Lathwal Abbas Tyrewala delivers another plain,light & lovable movie.The best thing about JHS is that every character has his/her role to play and no character is wasted.The movie has an interesting plot & it keeps you glued for two & a half hours.It includes a good humour & good dialogues.The acting has been superb from every person of John Abraham's gang in London! John,as always,delivers a innocent & lovable character whom you would fall in love with.Debutant actress Pakhi looks mature as an actor & delivers a good act.Raghu Ram is in his natural avatar & stands on expectations in his first film.Apart from these,the other actors also have their roles to play,and they do really well.R.Madhavan has a guest appearance.But i wonder why he chose a 10 minute negative role like this,which doesn't make much effect! The screenplay is good & the camera is able to capture some beautiful scenes of London.The dialogues of the movie have been written well & some funny ones will make you jump off from your seats.One low point about this film is that music doesn't score much even when it's a two & a half hour long movie.Although the song "mere chehre ki....",which runs in the background,is good apart from "maiyya yashoda....". So,to sum up,JHS is a great venture for a superb weekend.It's a must watch! Just go for it! And always remember,Mt.K2 is a virgin peak! ;)
shashwatology First of all, I want to point out to the fact that Abbas Tyrewala thinks he is a super intellectual being and a know-it-all guy, having strong opinions and judgments on people like Deepak Chopra (who is double his age, very senior and a renowned author), where he himself has read 5 books on Indian and Western philosophy; he and the writer (also the actress who failed in her job as a writer and did not one bit suit the role of the lead)proclaim themselves as authority on world philosophy. The script kept quoting philosophers who had otherwise no place in the situations which looked so pretentious and pseudo intellectual. The only person Trying very hard to save the film is Mr. John Abraham who pulls forth the script. Raghu Ram also tried his best to bring life to the dead script with his comic timing in few of the scenes (some of the jokes were really lame though). The film on the whole drags on and on.The beautiful songs by the Maestro A.R.RAHMAN have not been done justice to and have been put randomly where they made no sense. Nevertheless the songs had beautiful melodies and meaningless lyrics (fly fly, baby fly-really???)! Tyrewala, who wrote such gems as Munnabhai MBBS and Maqbool, has directed JHS from a script written by his wife Pakhi. For a guy so well-known for having written engaging dramas, it's surprising he agreed to direct a script which is so scattered, and scenes that seem to be right out of American sitcoms, like Friends, How I Met Your Mother and even The Big Bang Theory.Don't WASTE YOUR MONEY and most importantly your PRECIOUS TIME!!!
