lokeshjain2008 I am still wonder why this movie wasn't block buster. This movie contains everything in it and each and every frame is just fabulous. I am not a big fan of Salman khan but in this movie he is also very good.I won't put any spoiler here. Music is far far better and the scenes included in are just beautiful. Story telling is very funny but still has a great impact on the viewers. There is no drag in the drama it just goes on and hits the right climax in the end. Just enjoy this movie as each scene comes to life and Anupam Kher as a comedian done a great job.

xpics Jaanemann is like a phuski Diwali rocket. It starts on a very promising note and takes your expectations sky high. And just when you expect it to explode and display a dazzling air show, it collapses and disappoints big time. Jaanemann is a film that entertains in parts. Actually it entertains in halves. The first half of the film is extremely entertaining while the second half is a major letdown. Director Shirish Kunder had a great sense of visualization and he has also interpreted his ideas in a brilliant flamboyant manner on screen. Salman Khan's introduction scene set in black-and-white in a Filmfare Awards Night of the mid-70s is a skillfully edited and executed sequence. Anupam Kher's character of a dwarf is implemented with technical finesse and exudes an endearing charm. The sets, art design, costumes and the entire glossy look of the film is even a step ahead of the Johar-Chopra clan and, undoubtedly, is visually appealing. The geek look of Akshay Kumar in the initial reels and Salman Khan changing his get-ups from a rock-star to Elvis Presley to even a drag has been meticulously worked. There is a lot of tongue-in-cheek humour in the first half that succeeds in having the audiences in splits. And if you are still wondering why isn't there any mention about the story of the film, that's because it comes into picture only in the second half. And that's where the entire problem begins. Because Jaanemann tries to narrate an outdated tried-n-tested, done-to-death triangular love story! Agastya Rao (Akshay Kumar) is a NASA astronaut. But don't expect him to ignite any patriotic feelings in you like Shahrukh did in Swades. As a college nerd he was in love with Piya (Preity). But Piya married Suhaan Kapoor (Salman Khan). Subsequently Suhaan and Piya separate. That's when Agastya comes back into picture and falls in love with Piya. And while this duo is about to get married, Suhaan's love for Piya rekindles. So who gets the girl? The answer is absolutely predictable if you have seen anything from Dil To Pagal Hai to Kuch Kuch Hota Hain to Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. The two halves of Jaanemann contradict each other. While the first half establishes the unique characterizations and imparts a fresh feel to the film, the conventional storyline in the second half nullifies the entire effect. While the first half has some hilarious moments, the second half treads the tearjerker path. When Akshay Kumar, who is funny in the first half, gets emotional in the second half, the scene turns unintentionally funny. While the first half spoofs many a Bollywood cliché, the second half itself is so clichéd that it turns victim of the antics of the first half. While the dwarf Anupam Kher is integral to the story in the first half, the character is completely eliminated in the second half. Instead what you are served with is another Anupam Kher who isn't a dwarf but a full-length but a half baked character, totally irrelevant to the plot. One wishes to see more of the character than the actor in the script. After a long time, you love to see Salman Khan. Neither does he ham, nor does he underact – he is simply adorable and perfectly controlled. When it comes to humour Akshay Kumar never goes wrong. His laughing style in the film is as impeccable as his comic timing. Preity Zinta is good. But why the hell did they cast Aman Varma in the film? The hamster is a pain to the senses. And watch out for Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh (Preity Zinta's father in the film) going gaudy in the family song. Shirish Kunder's editing and scene-merging technique is superlative. Unfortunately he ends up being a good editor but a bad storyteller. And blame it to him since he is also credited for the story, screenplay and dialogues of the film.

Shivajyoti Kundu I cannot understand why i wasted my precious 50 quid for this movie. Its a typical bolly cheapo, two stupid actors with some really retarded jokes which I'm not sure even 90 year old would laugh at. The only reason(or reasons) to see this movie is its innovative style to tell the story. It shows you from POV's, which is very new and pretty dynamic. The songs are also very soothing, but has a repetitive theme. Its a standard Bollywood movie, nothing much. Salman Khan ugggh. Priety Zinta is hot, cute and sexy throughout, be it a college girl, a newly married woman or a single mom. Akshay Kumar plays a dumb bloke and he is mostly unwanted but the last 30 minutes. Its terribly stupid idea to release it in such a critical part of the year as well.The box office threw it out of the window just like it should. A really terrible effort which deserves nothing more than a 4...

nadeemisthebest-1 JAANEMANN.... 1 Leave your mind at home when you go to watch this film 2 direction is great in the beginning (as it apes musicals such as Chicago and moulin rouge) but fails miserably towards the end 3 Screenplay starts off well, then falls apart. 4 script is weak, dialogues are weaker. 5 acting is standard though nothing great - akshay has a gr8 character though salman's is the meatier role. priety could have done the role in her sleep, nothing new for her. aman vermas character and relation was left undefined for a long time- bad role, well acted. 6 the music is tuneful and enjoyable. but would have been better just as instrumental 7 Lyrics are PATHETIC (lyrics would have been better if they were written by a nursery school child) 8 editing was surprisingly patchy in parts. odd, as the film's director used to be an editortrivia: a character is named preity zintakova. aman verma's characters name is zubin HORNIBOI (hahahah)best: Akshay's Laughter. THE CUTE KID worst: SALMAN'S COSTUMES!! The annoying kids and family members towards the end!
