hyped garbage
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
There have been several films made on elderly man falling for young girls, In fact it was adressed in different forms like in a form of a comedy like SHAUKEEN or a satire. However rarely films see the mature side. There have been even sex related films like Ek chotisi love story. This film is more on mature side and takes look at issues in a mature manner, the romance isn't sex laden but more on pure love. The film has several great moments and it's well handled. Though certain subplots could be better like the Hiten track and the other lover part.Direction is good Music is decent, Ishq Hota Nahin is a good song used throughout rest are goodVictor Banerjee is superb in his role, Perizaad too is awesome Hiten Tejwani is decent, Divya Dutta stands out as usual, rest are all good
It is a very good movie. Victor Banerjee, Perizaad Zorabian, Divya Dutta and others were all very good. This is a tasteful treat, no melodrama, no junk, just a clean tasteful movie which is very well directed. Screenplay is good and the performances make each character so believable. Perizaad is half of Victor's age, but they both fall for each other. Or as they say in the movie "You don't fall but rise in love". This can happen to anyone. This is something so natural, and the Director and Story writer have beautifully handled something so delicate. In a normal case, I would have hated Victor's character for cheating on his wife, but at no point in the movie did I feel even slightly upset with him. Its a very good movie.
Jogger's Park is a movie about Love, about friendship, about a young woman's fight for survival in a big city like Mumbai, about a retired judge.Jogger's park is a matured love story. A love story between a retired person and a 30 something woman. The movie is funny, simple, & honest to its story.The movie is shot in Jogger's Park which is actually a park located in Bandra West in Mumbai. The movie is about the feeling a retired judge develops for a single woman staying all alone. A woman who is different from the rest of the world. She stays all alone in mumbai to fight for her bread & butter. JC a retired judge has worked for forty years before retiring and realizes his life was all work and no play. He decides to do something different when his kids suggest him to go for jogging in Jogger's Park. There he meets this damsel Jenny who is a freelance worker in Mumbai. Jenny's entry brings a radical change in his life and they develop feelings for each other. But then he is scared of the society.Then something happens which changes his world. Both Perizad & Victor Banerji have acted well & fit to the role perfectly. Subash Ghai has chosen a very nice story to tell. Beautiful scenes from various parts of Mumbai have been presented in the movie.In short, movie will make a good watch.
I always look forward to watching Bollywood movies, especially ones that are different than the norm. In this movie we see the relationship evolve between a married, well-renowned, retired judge and an independent 30-something woman. Both Perizaad Zorabian and Victor Banerjee were good in their roles, but Perizaad was especially very good in her role as the bubbly independent woman, Jenny. She really stood out as an incredible performer and she will be someone to watch out for in her future roles. I watched the movie twice just because I enjoyed her peformance so much. For music lovers, the Saigal re-mix and the tracks by Adnan Sami and Jagjit Singh are particularly memorable.This movie wasn't preachy as it shows the dilemma faced by a man who is married and has grown-up children. From one perspective the burst of energy that Jenny infuses in the judge's life makes one think that he shouldn't forsake Jenny's love for family honour, but on the other hand he would be hurting not only his family but also Jenny. So watch Jogger's Park to see whom he chooses!
