Jai-Veeru can be used as a case-study example for learning how not to mess up your film with dismal background score and disgusting editing. Since Punit Sira absolutely fails to generate any impact with his bland and formulaic direction, he attempts to use external elements for some effect...

Anjana Sukhani as Kunal's girlfriend barely gets any footage. Arbaaz is not only badly presented but has given some really silly lines to mouth which he appears at completely ill at ease to mouth. Govind Namdeo continues with his intense actor act by mouthing lines without battling his eyelids.

On the whole, elite groups may find it tougher to perceive 'Jai Veeru' as a fantabulous entertainer. For sure, the film would make good appeal across the B and C centres.

The biggest problem with the film is not the fact that it is heavily inspired from a Hollywood one, but the fact that it has been so shoddily written...

Ten minutes into the film and you realize it is completely aimed at the interiors of India where multiplexes are yet to make headway. Adding all the masala required for a typical entertainer that once worked in the 70s and 80s...

The entertainment quotient in this film appears in parts. The pace picks up and then falls intermittently. The story does not seem sticking to the main topic rather becomes shaky. The writer does not show logic and here he falters hugely...

The action has a very Dhoom 1 and 2 feel to it. So there is nothing new there. Some scenes have been flicked from M: I 2. Even the background score is jarring and 'inspired' from Hollywood action flicks. The other songs are alright. The song between Fardeen and Dia was totally unnecessary. Why did the producer waste so much money on it, I wonder...

Even the actors fail to rise above the banality of the script. Fardeen Khan hams through most of his role. Kunal Khemu is at ease playing a thief with a heart...

Jai Veeru tries to be an amalgam of comedy, emotions and action, but ends up as horror. For starters, it is so slow in the first half, you keep rewinding your watch every few minutes so that you don't feel you are wasting your time...

While the characters find their bearings you wonder what the scriptwriter and the director have been doing. Probably checking out the latest DVDs of Hollywood films to incorporate chase sequences and fights into the two-hour "Jai Veeru".

The poster of this film has the two leading men hold Mausers in different poses, aimed at no one in particular. One of them in the film wants to be a fighter pilot. The film itself is a post-modern game called chor-police...

The verdict of Jai Veeru has been evident from the very first paragraph of this review. It's a film that not only Indian cinema will want to forget but so will all those involved in it...

The contrived story, borrowed heavily from various Hollywood films, centres around Veeru, a petty thief with a good heart and his brother-like buddy Jai who harbours a secret. The film, which turns into a game of cops and robbers and double crossing, might have fared better with a dose of camp humour, respectable performances or even a decent screenplay...

Performances in Jai Veeru are a let down too. Fardeen as Jai and Kunal as Veeru are a scorn to the legendry characters. Fardeen just as usual hams throughout the movie. Kunal is equally competent in putting across a poor performance...

This has to be the 'Most Atrocious' movie of the year so far. I mean, it's nice to have those 'leave your brains behind films' where sometimes the maker does entertain you through his product, but this here is plain foolish.
