satori9512011 Duly I must report that I didn't get it at first. First time I saw this film I thought it mediocre at best but it had something going for it: the music, the music was superb and due to it I saw the film over again and realised that my first impression of it was perhaps not quite correct and again the music caused me to see it once more at which point I realised that I had lost out on much of the dialogue the first two times due to the rapid subs I've come across in any film – you have the choice, follow what's on the screen or follow the dialogue you can't do both. However third time around I realised it was actually rather good for what it is, a romantic comedy. In fact I was very surprised when I discover that the film had got such appalling reviewers from film critics obviously I was not alone in my first impression of the film; then again as Sibelius said: don't worry about what the critics say there has never been made a statue over a critic.. It is not perfect, it has two low points I think which is the scenes when the two main characters reflect back in time which become somewhat longwinded but apart for this the film is a gem. It is funny stylishly photographed and choreographed and Preity Zinta, Bobby Deolm, Lara Dutta and Abhishek Bachchan delivers some of the best acting I've seen from them – as usual you can see on Abhishek Bachchan whether he thinks the script is any good, as he is not a man to give at the door, if he doesn't like the script, it is like he is on holiday, or has gone on strike (just check Bluffmaster or the Dhoom films) but in this film it is obvious he likes what he is doing, he is involved and is obviously having fun. Jhoom Barabar Jhoom is in point of fact the closest I've seen any Indian film come to Bend It Like Beckham. Personally I'm not a great fan of Bollywood comedies compared to English, German French and even American comedies they are a little too infantile, this one however is rather refreshing. I hope the critics hasn't scared them from doing it again.

kpatel0809 I loved this movie, it was super funny. The movie didn't show in NY and I really wanted to watch it so I found out you can even watch it online - Streaming. Supercool!. I watched it online at watchindia.TV Amazing movie Amazing site. Also this movie has one of the greatest song clips that have been filmed in a long time. It was shot at the Waterloo station with Amitahb swinging and singing. Prita, as usuall, is at her prime and I could stare at her even without a word coming out of her mouth. She is so so so beautiful. Anyway I loved this movie and recommend it. Like I said you can see this on watchindia.TV in streaming at high quality.

Karishma Tiwari JBJ is a classic example for theory that a great ensemble of a big production house, star-kids, a beauty queen, a queen bee and a great musical score does not guarantee a great film.The supporting cast has over shadowed the main leads, Lara was a delight to watch with her street antiques, while Bobby was the cute mama's boy. Both Preity and Abhishek are as stale as their last year's flick together, KANK. One fails to understand why a classy girl like Alvira falls for the piracy-specialist Rikki.This movie has everything in the book for a good film, except a story, which was clearly missing from the big picture. It was like watching a movie of nicely choreographed music videos, all the songs make you jhoom literally, and cinematography was top notch. Song sequence of bol na halke looks something out of Veer-Zaara, which makes me wonder, is the message of the movie is kiss and make up between India and Pakistan?

virindra Once I wrote, as a Bobby Deol fan, that he only had to play in a Yash Chopra movie. Because Bobby is a great actor, and Yash Chopra makes good movies. But I was wrong, yes Bobby Deol acts very well, but his part in this movie is too small. His entrance was great, but the special effects were horrible! Yes, Yash Chopra can make a horrible movie! Abishek proved in Kabhi Alvida that he can act very well. In this movie he did not act good. It was very bad! He could not make his character alive. It was like a painting that did not come out of his paint.Preity Zinta still is an annoying actress. The combination Zinta and Anishek was not good. The story between these tho was too predictable.It was funny that Amitabh Bachchan played in a song in this movie. It was like a good joke. But this joke was repeated several times. Then it ain't funny anymore.The actress Lara Dutta I guess was also annoying. She reached the annoying level of Zinta. Her accent was terrible. I didn't see the whole movie. I put the DVD out en I started to watch Cheeni Kum. Maybe tonight I am going to watch the end of this movie.With saying this, I must add that I never have seen a bad movie like this from Yash Chopra before.
