Jaane Kaha Se Aayi Hai - Let's Send Her Back From Where That Came From

I won't say that i saw this movie with a lot of expectation. But what i anticipated for was a simple, sweet love story. Is that too much to ask for?

In the end of the credits, you'll see a name Milap Zaveri, who is responsible for the Direction, Screenplay, Story and i think i couple of more things. In short, he is responsible for why this movie turned out to be a disaster in the first place.

Cast

The cast of the movie is tempting. I have respect for Reitesh Deshmukh, i find him as a good actor with an awesome comic timing and was expecting something similar in this movie too. Jaqueline Fernandes is very much like Katrina kaif, she needs to improve a lot. I think she can be sent of some acting school and then she can think of acting after some 3-4 years. She is just used as a showgirl in the movie. They gave her good dresses to wear and then made her walk in front of the camera. Asking her to do wired stuff in front of the camera. Watch out for the scene when Jaqueline Fernandes, as an alien sees television for the first time and start doing same things like dancing like Indian movie actors. That felt kind of stupid and funny. Sonal Sehgal and Ruslaan Mumtaaz were all over acting. Satish Shah is portraying a sexually frustrated father Ritesh, look for the moment when Satish shah is showing an album of girls pictures for Ritesh to choose, so that they can arrange their marriage but starts talking dirty about them. 


High Points

Wish, i could write atleast one good thing about the movie but can't, if, i do, it'll be called cheating which i'm won't do. Yea, but wait for the next section of "Low Points" that will have a lot of read about.

Low Points

1. The sole reason or the major reason for why this movie sucks is the story. It's a stupid story. An alien coming to Earth to find love which they have lost on their planet. Though, it may seem like a good enough reason to make a movie but it's a shitty shitty execution of ideas and that's why i call this movie a disaster.

2. I have always known, director is like the captain of the team and if the execution of the ideas go wrong then it's only the captain or director who's going wrong that's what Milap Zaveri did. Though, he is responsible for writing a bad story too and producing a even worse screenplay.

3. Really bad dialogs. The dialogs of the movie are so cheesy. Watch for dialogs given to "Ruslaan Mumtaaz", all of them at the lowest best. Some dialogs gave me the feeling as they were picked up from some "Casanova" kind of novel.

4. Performances from every character sucked. Characterization in the movie also at the it's level worst. Supriya Pilgoankar, such an wonderful actress wasted in the movie. There was nothing in the character given to her, such was the characterization in the movie.

5. Bad music. I music of the movie is another thing which you can curse after coming out of the theater.

This is certainly one of those movie which i regret watching. I'm rating this movie only for the people who were behind the camera.....i mean technicians and the spot boys and others.

2/10 (2 point are for those people)

The Other End of the Line

I was video hopping for songs on youtube when i found video from this movie. When i saw that.....i was so shocked that this movie was released in India and i didn't know anything about this movie. So i found more information on my favorite movie database IMDB.com. And then tried searching for the movie online.


So, why did i see this movie? Other than this movie has the beautiful Shriya Saran and Tara Sharma to offer in the cast but more than that......it is based on call center life, which is my most fav things now a days.

About the movie, it's a simple story or kind of a Cinderella story if you would say. The movie is based when the call center culture came to India and now they are providing all kind of services. Priya(Shriya) works at a call center for a bank in India and Granger (Jesse Metcalfe) has a account with the same bank. Priya, goes by the name of Jennifer David and pretending to be an American and faking the accent, is Granger's telebanker. Because of some unusual activity on the account, Priya and Granger come together and talk about different things. Priya aka Jennifer, says that she is based in San Fransisco and one Granger asks her to meet her in SF.

Priya, on other hand in India, is tied down by her parents by getting her engaged to a person she doesn't even love. Priya is dreamer and ready to take risks to achieve something. And that's when the twist comes in. She agrees to meet Granger in SF and leaves India to meet him for a trip of 5 days to US.......just to know if there is something between them. She reaches there and on the first day, she gets disappointed because Granger wouldn't even notice her around.
But there ways cross, eyes meet and with some supporting events, they become friends. But how would Priya tell that she is Jennifer David?? Priya ran away from home and now her parents flying to US to take her back.....what will happen there??? and will Granger will fall in Love with an Indian Girl?????

Though the story line is pretty much predicted but for people who love romantic movies ....this will be a treat. Two different cultures coming together is always a fun movie to watch.

Shriya Saran puts in a good performance and is pretty convincing in the movie. Jesse Metcalfe is pretty good with his good old contemporary American looks and also puts in a good performance. Do watch when both of them are together.....their chemistry really clicks. Other than that Anupam Kher has nothing to prove....he is a good actor and has portrayed the character of Indian father of young girl pretty well. Tara Sharma is also good with her chunks of footage given.

Over All...........the movie has a really nice feel. Yea, it is a chick flick..........but i know there are a lot of people who love romantic movies.

I'm rating it a 6 out of 10. Good movie, kind of chick flick.....romantic movie lovers will love this one.
