After reading Taran Adrash's review, I have to admit, I went to watch Jannat with high expectations. After watching the movie however, I walked out with only one conclusion: Clearly, Taran Adrash and I did not watch the same movie.
To summarize the review, Jannat was BAD! Filled with cliche dialogues and a horrible soundtrack, I can only describe this as pure hell. The title is a serious oxymoron.
The movie was highly unrealistic for one, but the heartbreaking thing about this movie is that it actually did have a lot of potential. Had they delved deeper into the cricket part of the movie, and used that a sort of conduit for the climax, the movie would have been far better.
The movie was far too predictable, and after the interval, things only got worse. The female lead was very contradictory in various parts the movie and overall, not impressive. The characters were all shallow and vapid and pure torture to watch.
Don't waste your money on this one. The only thing that saved this movie from horrible-film-hell is Emran Hashmi. Honest.
What I liked about the movie:
Nothing. Well, I did quite like the Cape Town shots
What I didn't like about the movie:
I could go on forever, seriously. And also, for a model, the female lead wore some really bad clothes.
