gulfisaforever First things first. This is one of the most annoying, irritating, intolerable piece of cinema i have ever watched. Period. The only reason why I finished the movie, rather than switching channels was coz i was curious to see how pathetic and appalling it will get.Good intentions? well yes, may be. Good attempt? no. good film? a big no.And i had zero expectations from this movie to begin with. And it turned out to be worse than that.Just a simple point, I just finished watching the full movie, from start to end. And I have no idea who Bobbys mother was, in this film, Supriya Pathak or Tanvi Azmi. Its that sort of a mess. Did bobby's father have two wives? and is supriya pathak a Hindu or a Muslim? no idea. This thing is totally unrelated to the main story, but i m just trying to highlight how confusing things are in this movie.Talking about the main story, OMG, why does it take Vidya so long, i mean for lala to make some silly comment to realize that her anonymous client might be involved in something shady. I am looking for a young girl, find her for me, i will not tell u anything about who i m, why i want to find her, why i cant use any other means. I mean, come on. I hate to use profanities, but its just total bull sh%t. Dumb as a donkey detective, how am i supposed to relate to that? And another thing I didn't understand is, what exactly is the financial status of Kiran Kumar? is he some millionaire? who supplies stationary? who left his children in an orphanage? and fled the country? and never came back? was he rich before he left or became rich after leaving? does any of the above make any sense to you? to me, it didn't.Pure torture.A few good things, i feel i need to mention here. Vidya does try her best in this awful film. and the guy who plays her hero, is cute and acts well. bobbys sidekicks are also OK. I want to see a woman centric film, and this i guess was one such attempt, so really if u believe in woman power, etc, u r supposed to applaud such a venture. but its hard to do that when its such a god awful senseless story.

Sandeep Gupta Bobby Jasoos. Vidya Balan sparkles as ever but everything else is so normal. As Bobby she is residing in the heart of Hyderabad and wants to a be a detective but such dreamy things never come easy. Movie scores in setting up the messy atmosphere of Hyderabad and many small struggles that Bobby faces. First half raises your curiosity as she deals with her big money client and when she consistently struggles to find her father's acceptance for her unusual job because she is a girl. Side characters initially help making things interesting but as time moves on they convert into unnecessary distractions from the main plot.Second half disappoints as things get more messy and too much time is spent on distractions. The detective movie starts wandering sometimes as a love story or family drama. Low production values becomes more visible especially in songs. The dream song is totally out of the place. And if it wasn't enough, the underwhelming climax leaves you unsatisfied at the end.I am going with not bad 6 out of 10 for Bobby Jasoos. It is recommended to watch under the comfort of home to enjoy Vidya Balan's strong performance.

DareDevilKid Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 3.8/5 starsBobby lives in Mughalpura's tight, twisting lanes, supported by her adoring mother Zebo (Pathak), censured by her stern father, and criticized by her marriage-arranger aunt. Bobby's determined to crack cases, achieve her dreams, and make her family proud – but what happens when a rich stranger Anees Khan hires her to track young girls? And when she finds herself engaged to cocky TV star Tasavvur (Ali) – who wants her to reject him?"Bobby Jasoos" is a Hyderabadi pearl of a movie, worn with terrific aplomb by its star Vidya Balan. Playing the 30-year-old Bilquis or Bobby, who has no detective course but fearless passion, Vidya dazzles as Bobby Jasoos, tracking mysteries as a buck-toothed palmist, a dreadlocked sadhu, a hobbling fakir – suddenly distilled into a tongue- tied girl who discovers love.Post Kahaani, it is clear that roles are now written with Vidya Balan in mind. Her spirited performance in the title role justifies this decision. Vidya runs away with "Bobby Jasoos". Her effervescence rubs off on the proceedings and gives it an energy that drives the film. She is both the film's hero and heroine, performing with deft innocence, presenting Bobby like a breeze. But her leading man Tasavvur is also nailed by Ali Fazal, who captures the urge for a radical shift in lifestyle in keeping with his education, fluent English vocabulary, and promising career as a new presenter. Along the way he also effortlessly blends with the humor of getting engaged to madcap Bobby – and the sudden, delicate power of discovering love. Ali impresses with his acting while Arjan Bajwa, as local goonda Lala, impresses with his smoldering looks, soorma, and stubble, making Bajwa steamier than ever before.Besides the lead performers, the impressive list of supporting actors also lends gravitas to the colorful Hyderabadi canvas, which proves once again that casting good actors in bit roles pays off. Tanvi Azmi stands out in a small, sharp role as Bobby's tart-tongued khaala; Rajendra Gupta nails Bobby's disgruntled dad who's conflicted due to his conservative roots that clash with his paternal love; while Supriya Pathak shines as the doting Mother who perennially serves as a mediator between Bobby and her Dad while assuaging the simmering tension in the household. Even the jasoos' merry men, Shetty, Munna and Suhail, leaving a fine imprint upon the tale. Finally, it's a sheer delight to see Kiran Kumar back after ages and with the same delectable form of yore.Technically, too, "Bobby Jasoss" hits most of the right notes. The film clearly boasts a cinematographer (Vishal Sinha) who thinks, which is more than evident in the realism of the by-lanes, street vendors, and dingy apartments of Hyderabad depicted on screen. Shantanu Moitra's background score and musical numbers is unobtrusive yet pleasing. The editing by Hemal Kothari is good, but could have been better, as the second half of the movie tends to relax in some places when it could have been tauter. However, this is a minor flaw, in an otherwise, well- executed film.There are many fine things about "Bobby Jasoos" - a terrific lead performance, a great supporting cast, surprising attention to detail, and Hyderabad in full glory. Debutant Director, Samar Shaikh, impresses as he deftly balances the primary detective track with the personal travails of Vidya's character. An aspiring female detective in Hyderabad has her work cut out to be taken seriously, and the often bumbling but ever optimistic Bobby wins clients and hearts with equal ease. But the outright winner is the film's writing, the quality of which is not often seen in Bollywood today, and no more amount of praise would be too great for Sanyukta Chawla's screenplay and dialogues.The old-world charm of Hyderabad is ideal foil for the narrative. It is one of the lovely touches that give the film real texture. The authenticity of the setting, locations, and the flawlessly consistent diction of every major and minor character contribute in making the proceedings all the more engaging.Minor quibbles aside, "Bobby Jasoos" is a clever and joyful film. It's a light, breezy, and delightful caper with a lot of heart, and you root for both the film and its protagonist all the way till the end.
