A playful, knowing, kitsch film about self-mythology and the power of Bollywood fantasy

Afzal Shaikh - imdb.com
I saw Jhoom Barabar Jhoom while travelling in Rajasthan, in the Raj Mundir in Jaipur, which is, with some justification, described as the best cinema in Asia (and it certainly beats watching a film in a 'Multiplex' on a screen... Full review

What generally works as the weakness of a film is the strength of this one. The film has a week storyline, virtually non-existent script and no logic. But that's where the fun lies.Abhishek Bachchan and Preity Zinta are introduced in... Full review

It simply has to be the worst movie of 2007 because it was complete lame about two strangers Abhishek & Preity met in a train station and told each other that they are already engaged, then they told their story... Full review

Bollywood certainly at it's nearly-best, DANCE BABY DANCE delivers in ways both standard and special. Even though we've seen these handsome & curvy thesps in other top Bollywood productions, all deliver broad but colorful performances.Acting, music, singing, & choreography seem... Full review

I loved Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. I'm from the UK. But I saw the film at an almost packed theater here in the USA. The majority of the audience laughed, cheered, and had a great time. The film had some wonderful... Full review

I read in an Abhishek interview that when he was initially presented with the JBJ story idea (while shooting Bunty babli) it was set in a Delhi train station platform......i can just about imagine the charming scene. Abhishek and his... Full review

My 2 cents: This movie was highly recommended to me by a friend. He "sms'd" me the previous night and told me that it was an awesome movie... something that I should see the very next day. Taking his advice,... Full review

I have never seen worst movie then this. Waste of time, energy and of course money. Why do people make such movies just for petty gains by robbing millions of anticipating audience. The crew involved in making the film and... Full review

Not that there are no genuinely funny and bright moments. The love-versus-flirtation masquerade gets lost in too much masti, masquerade and mascara, so that at the end of the chic charade you're left looking at a film that is epic in design (big extravagant song sequences) and cartoon-strip in characterisation and content. ...

Jhoom Barabar Jhoom is a film that is so clever in its humour You see, the triumph is in the fact that Shaad Ali Sahgals Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, unlike the mindless NRI romances in phoren locations ere, actually acknowledges that it is a mindless NRI romance in a phoren location. ... Full Review

JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM Rated:NR For movie details, please click here . Prone to making those remarks are his Pakistani buddy, Huffy Bhai (Piyush Mishra), a philosophical guy who helps them stay one step ahead of the cops, and Alvira Khan (Preity Zinta), a smart-mouthed girl-next-door he meets at a crowded sandwich shop in London's Waterloo railway station, where the two are forced to share a table. ...

By Aparajita Ghosh Film critic, ApunKaChoice.Com It may fall a wee bit short of the high expectations that were attached to it, but Jhoom Barabar Jhoom verily delivers what it promises unadulterated entertainment. The actor, once brooding and uptight, has now begun to loosen up. ... Full Review

Jhoom Barabar Jhoom Fantasy of the ‘common mass’ comes alive. About Heroine : The girl is Asian born but thanks to TV, films , Internet and other sources of visual information, she can see very well that the British (westerners) are fair and much more beautiful/handsome to look at – thus she longs to be like them – be one of them ! Thus as an innocent child of 6-7 years ,she even goes to the extent of going to the church and praying to lord Christ that she does not want a ‘Kala Kaluta’ (pathetically dark skinned) man as her life partner but someone as fair as Him !! About Hero : He is some Ricky Thakral who is into the business of selling antique pieces to foreigners – as they are the only ones capable of giving a good price for the item. Since he is into Marketing and selling so he obviously is a smooth talker. Meeting Point : The Hero and Heroin meet at a Railway Station.
