Jaane Hoga Kya (2006)

Just perfect...

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Blistering performances.

This proved to be a great movie! Never was I bored with the whole concept and presentation, and it kept me hooked till the very end. Aftab did great in a double role, reminiscent of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The concept of cloning was interesting, albeit scientifically incorrect, as instead of developing an embryo with identical DNA, Aftab pretty much photocopies adult versions, but what the heck!That's what artistic license is all about, right? The director did a great job keeping the entertainment quotient high, with sultry and steaming numbers thrown in with ample sensuality and a throbbing musical score. My favorite quote from the movie? When the professor played by Paresh Rawal replies to Aftab's character" Scientists have cloned plants and animals, but never humans---- you know why? Because human is the most dangerous animal!". There were some scenes lifted from Hollywood movies like "Terminator", "The Matrix" and "Species", but all in all, it was good entertainment. Bipasha was great, Preeti Jhangiani was adequate, but the real show stealer was Aftab, with his convincing portrayal of the obsessed straight-laced scientist and his macho, conniving and psychopathic clone. I Recommend it.

This movie had an interesting start (very much like Hollow Man) but for just 120 seconds. Slowly you realize that the plot is weak and is about a Human Clone escapee (Sixth Day {Arnold}). The Inspector (Rahul Dev) himself is so confused that he doesn't know what his character is doing. He is against Human cloning for some strange reasons tries to make people commit crimes without being asked for and then chases them. Sometimes he makes anonymous calls trying to fund Aftab's Cloning Project (maybe to test Aftab) and the next moment he spies on Aftab. Totally crazy !I was shocked to see that in the end of the movie the editor/director din't try to copy, but the scenes are shamelessly lifted up directly from a Hollywod movie.Siddharth's Lab had these half alive cloned bodies of himself. GOD knows which chemical catalyst did Siddharth use for cloning the capsules(clones) which grow up directly to his original size of the original in a few hours ! Amazing, why doesn't he grow tissues and human body parts this way !! ??I could notice 3 scenes in the end in which the movie shows some Hollywood CG on the screen while Aftab (Siddharth) types furiously before trying to escape from his so called Laboratory which of course has to blast in the end.The first copied screen reads "Assembling PortScan Objects". Now this is a straight copy-paste of the 3 second sequence from the Hollywood Movie Swordfish starring Hugh Jackman, Travolta and Halle.The second and third shameless uplifted scene is from Mission Impossible : I The computer screen shows the Decibal meter and the third one shows "Downloading NOC List"These people can get sued by Dominic Sena (Director : Swordfish) and Brian De Palma (Director : Mission Impossible 1) because their movie frames were included as we all know without permission. Who knows there may be many other copied scenes as well.Such copiers are a disgrace for the Hindi Cinema ! This movie could have been tolerated if it didn't have stolen content, at least the visuals could have been original. But Do watch it, it'll be fun to verify the above statements.
