Jhootha Hi Sahi (2010)

its a worth watch movie....i was reluctant to watch it since some of the reviews were quite bad, but due to good songs i watch it and I actually didn't at any time felt that movie is not moving anywhere. It is certainly much better than some of the asinine movies coming out of Bollywood .All actors does a good job ( much better than I would have expected and the director has been smart by having a good ensemble built up around actors who complements and keep the momentum going. Madhavan does a great job. Only negative is that the script could have probably done with a little more tweaking, but nevertheless a good effort and something different from Bollywood. Would definitely recommend this....

With 2008 blockbuster hit "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na" under his belt, one would expect Abbas Typrewala to dish out an equivalent with "Jhoota Hi Sahi". Sadly it doesn't reach the same zenith but then its its not too bad either. Its a nice light-hearted romantic comedy packed with some decent performances. The first-half sails like a breeze. The way "couple hand-picked in heaven" waiting to bump into each other on earth amongst sinful mortals is well fleshed out. And yes, the ode to "Notting Hill" is clearly visible. Its the second half thats lets the graph down. The audience waits with bated breath for the penny- dropping moment, but it takes quite a while to reach there. John Abraham upp's his performance bar. Quite natural indeed. Pakhi in real-life might be heroine-material but on screen she doesn't have what it takes. The other supporting cast have done a good job. Madhavan was probably doped when he signed the dotted line, he was awful. Anaitha Nair & Nandana Sen deserved more screen time.Rahman's songs are very much below average (infact a touch of nonchalant is clearly visible)As in his earlier outing this time around the director again packs in too many layers. Sadly its gets far too many and to extent that the narrative sometimes loses sight of the main plot. London as a backdrop doesn't add any value to the story.Verdict: Only telly material.

Wanted to watch this movie since long time and finally, watched it over the weekend. The movie in the first place is not comedy and story is so illogical that you don't understand the movie. John Abraham and A.R. Rahman both did a fair job. The actress is not up to the mark and she lacks facial expressions in many scenes across the film. The story of the film is very weak to be honest, it's a regular film nothing new. Director failed to show the love between the hero and the heroine and unnecessarily included much junk which is no way funny. Couple of songs are good and the background score is okay. Overall, it's a drama you can ignore to save your precious time.

First of all, I want to point out to the fact that Abbas Tyrewala thinks he is a super intellectual being and a know-it-all guy, having strong opinions and judgments on people like Deepak Chopra (who is double his age, very senior and a renowned author), where he himself has read 5 books on Indian and Western philosophy; he and the writer (also the actress who failed in her job as a writer and did not one bit suit the role of the lead)proclaim themselves as authority on world philosophy. The script kept quoting philosophers who had otherwise no place in the situations which looked so pretentious and pseudo intellectual. The only person Trying very hard to save the film is Mr. John Abraham who pulls forth the script. Raghu Ram also tried his best to bring life to the dead script with his comic timing in few of the scenes (some of the jokes were really lame though). The film on the whole drags on and on.The beautiful songs by the Maestro A.R.RAHMAN have not been done justice to and have been put randomly where they made no sense. Nevertheless the songs had beautiful melodies and meaningless lyrics (fly fly, baby fly-really???)! Tyrewala, who wrote such gems as Munnabhai MBBS and Maqbool, has directed JHS from a script written by his wife Pakhi. For a guy so well-known for having written engaging dramas, it's surprising he agreed to direct a script which is so scattered, and scenes that seem to be right out of American sitcoms, like Friends, How I Met Your Mother and even The Big Bang Theory.Don't WASTE YOUR MONEY and most importantly your PRECIOUS TIME!!!
