2012’s Barfi got accolades and awards for all the crafts in the film. This could have probably triggered him to think bigger and achieve much bigger appreciation. The result is JaggaJasoos. Despite all the hurdles for years together and a continuous change of script (as per Ranbir’s recent promotions’ interviews), it finally hit the screens today. Does this magnum opus strikes the right chords? Well, unfortunately, NO!

JaggaJasoos is an adventure musical. The movie happens as a narration of a comic series to children, the JaggoJasoos series. Its bunch of books and each deals with a phase or an event in Jagga’s life. Back to 1997, Jagga is an orphan who grows up in a hospital. He finds an injured man in the fields and admits in the same hospital. Jagga has a speech problem and he stammers extensively. The injured man befriends him and asks him to talk through singing as it wouldn’t break his flow. Very soon, they get bonded and one day the injured man who calls himself as Tuthi-Foothi adopts Jagga and takes him to his house. Destiny separates them as Tuuti-Foothi needs to leave to a different place for a stealth reason. He drops Jagga back to the hospital. He never sees him againbut sends a video tape to the son every birthday wishing him and giving him life lessons. All’s well until a birthday where he doesn’t receive the video cassette and then the quest begins to find him.

The movie is setup on a big canvas which makes it visually very attractive. Especially the way the beauty of North East is shown is magnificent. Ranbir delivers a sincere stammering act too. SaswataChaterjee steals the show with terrific screen presence. Well, the good things end here.

The movie take itself too seriously. An over sincere efforts seemed to have been put to cater to people of all ages. In the beginning, it seems to be tailor made for children in terms of tone,the story-telling and the moments too. All of a sudden the movie starts worrying about global terrorism and world peace.Throughout the movie, Ranbir sings and there are no dialogues for him. Of course the character is such, but listening to such for 3 hours saps the energy. Not only this but the story doesn’t move forward much in the first half. When the story starts progressing in the second half, it gets too complicated. In midst of some complex scenarios comes some silly and simplistic scenes. For e.g, a bunch of people come to shoot Jagga and his journalist love-interest Katrina. Katrina offers to marry all of them if they leave them, and then they break into a song and escape. Agreed, it’s a musical but, the movie is totally lost in many such ridiculous scenes in the film.

The three hour film is hardly gripping and with so many intentions and so many break-into-music modes. Ranbir, though gave his best couldn’t save given the monotonous tone of the story. The background score is just an extension and elaboration of Barfi and acts as a sleep inducer.

Overall, JaggaJasoos is a ‘galti se mistake.’

Ranbir spoke to the media at the launch of his song Galti se mistake from Jagga Jasoos, along with co-star Katrina Kaif and director Anurag Basu. Talking about the film and his character, Ranbir said: “My character is very interesting, because, for me, I never played a detective character and guy who stammers. I have done romantic films in my life but never done father and son story which is so emotional. This was very sweet, and I felt very good in my heart and I hope it all comes through the film.”

However, a source close to the unit said that the ex-lovers decided to promote the film together. Jagga Jasoos is set to hit screens on July 14. Well, this is indeed a great dedication of both Ranbir and Katrina, because despite of their personal issues they are promoting the film together.

Saif’s Chef to lock horn with Katrina Kaif’s Jagga Jasoos

Saif Ali Khan‘s Chef was all set to release on July 14 along with Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s Jagga Jasoos. Earlier in the day, we got reports that the film is postponed indefinitely to avoid a box office clash.

However, T-Series’ official Instagram handle just announced a new release date for the Saif Ali Khan starrer as 6th of October 2017.

The post reads: ‘Chef, directed by Raja Krishna Menon, produced by T-Series and Abundantia Entertainment starring Saif Ali Khan, south actor Padmapriya and child actor Svar Kamble releases on 6th October 2017.’ The caption was accompanied by a picture of Saif leaning on a stove, perhaps cooking up a potential box office smasher.

Chef is the Hindi remake of the Hollywood production of the same name which starred Jon Favreau, Sofia Vergara, Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr. The film was a great hit when it released in 2014 and received lots of love for Jon Favreau’s convincing performance as a Chef. That leaves Saif with big shoes to fill.

29 Songs in Jagga Jasoos

Usually, we expect only four to five songs in any film, but when it is a devotional film, there may be some eight to ten songs. The devotional films are always an exemption for this. But could you believe that there would be 29 songs in a film?

A film with a duration of two and half hours contains almost 29 songs is not a joke because it happened with the Bollywood film Jagga Jasoos. Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif played the lead roles of the film. Pritam is the music director of the film, and he confirmed the same.
