Jannat (2008)

How sad is this?

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's a great movie to watch..Arguably the most romantic movie for the year. Though it's difficult to say if it's inspired from Lord of War or not (like most of Bhatt Camp movies) but its still great! Focuses exclusively on match fixing and it would have been better if there was somewhat more great ending, because, personally I believe the actress, Sonal Chauhan was not good enough in this movie. There was practically nothing she was doing. But Emraan Hashmi's acting and Vishal Malhotra's acting were really really impressive. Arguably one of the best movies by Bhatt Camps since their good old days and best performance by Emraan Hashmi till date....Nice one to watch with your girlfriend/family members...gud one! 7 out of 10

i just read somewhere that the film is a hit and i wonder why after having watched it . i think its because of its music and because of ipl . now there's nothing in the movie thats worth talking about or something that you haven't seen before . the direction at its best is just average . in fact the dircetion is really poor at key points in the film . look at the climax , nothing wrong with it from the script point of view but how tackily done by the director . to give him some respect he was aided by some really bad acting .**spoiler alert**the movie seems to copy loads of thing from loads of places . naam for instance , then this movie called two for money, gangster - when the girl screams 'you killed him you bastards' it worked there but not here . what i really wonder is if this movie is really a hit or is it just publicity . or doeds it take just good music and some decent scenes and a controversial topic like match fixing and a good banner to make a movie tick at the box office , if so i feel sad at the state of Hindi films . when will we grow up . if jannat is hit then what kind of movies must be flopping , they must be really bad .

This movie could have much better if director could have concentrated on match fixing part more than a love story. Movie starts with average direction and ends with pathetic direction. The way in which Emraan Hashmi evaluates player's expression is pathetic. Emraan Hashmi again proved that he is a really horrible actor, the way in which he delivers expressions in the last scene is almost next to torture. Sonal also gave company to Emraan in bad acting, the way in which Sonal Chauhan abuses Police is laughable, there is absolutely no gravity in her expressions. The only good thing about this movie is, song "zara sa". In short, this pathetic love story is really long without any match fixing/betting substance.

If you haven't already seen this movie, it is probably a good idea to watch it first and decide for yourself IF it was Worth it.It is amazing to see how the story and characters in the film are detached from reality in almost every sense. The Morally Grey Dreamer (Emraan Hashmi) finds out he has a thing about cricket and people who play cricket, that is, he can tell what is going to happen in the game (named Sixth Sense) and he is a very good judge of players personality. Making him not just a talented Bookie but also a gifted Match Fixer. His Love interest is a Not-so-well-off but Morally Sound(Sonal Chauhan)who is also deeply in love with Emraan. Both characters are given troubled backgrounds, which is financial for Emraan and Emotional for Sonal. There was bound to be a conflict between these two love birds. And when it does happen it all goes down in a classic (read clichéd) bollywood ishtyle.Direction is good given the sort of Plot. Story lacks any real depth. Acting is convincing and pretty much compensates for the incompetent storyline. But if you overlook all these things... and don't fall for the emotional façade...you will find the ending quite witty (read Sexist)Enjoy
