Ladies & Gentlemen, my friends, fellow bloggers, there is no easy way to say this, hence allow me to cut to the chase. Bachchanistas, please carefully bend over, grab your ankles and brace for pain. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na rocks. Let me put this in another way. Mansoor Khan has not reemerged from his retirement (much like Aditya Chopra has with RNBDJ) to embarrass himself. JTYJN has the benefit of his touch. Seeing this movie you will wish that Mansoor retires from his retirement and comes back permanently to Bollywood. I would love to see him make a movie for RC/YRF with SRK & Amir Khan (the two lions of Bollywood).
No matter what one can say about Amir Khan (mental etc), he is one of India's best film makers. There is no one who understands commercial cinema far better than Amir Khan ( Adi & K Jo are slightly ahead). As a film maker Amir Khan has associated with substance and quality. If SRK is the best star actor that Bollywood has seen then Amir Khan (alhough not as great an actor as SRK) is definitely one of the better film makers that Bollywood has seen. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Ya will once again prove Amir Khan's acumen as a film making. People have asked me how do I compare Love Story 2050 (a well made action packed movie) with JTYJN (a romantic love story in the mold of classic Yash Chopra movies) and my answer is that we will be re visiting Love Story Vs. Rocky. In the long run both Herman and Imran will do very well, but in the short run the movie with love, romance and emotions will rock the BO. JTYJN is today's Dil Chata Hai, it will perhaps become the new DDLJ. It is a class act. The music of JTYJN is out and it is superb. While most A.R.Rehman music eventually finds acceptance without fail, JTYJN has found instant acceptance. I think this record will be the record to beat this year.I don't listen to music much but this CD is good, …. very, very, good. So we come back to the Bachchanistas. With, Emraan Hasmi, Ranbir Kapoor & Shahid Kapoor doing well. With Sikander Kher & Herman Baweja expected to do well. A handsome and talented Imran Khan comes at a time when Lil C cannot afford any more competition in his segment of the market. Given Lil C's pathetic BO record, given the emerging talent that I have listed already in this paragraph, a "Gora Chita" Imran Khan is the last nail in Lil C's coffin. Unfortunately there is nothing that the Bachchanistas can do (they are not that capable to begin with). Imran Khan and JTYJN are unstoppable, Jim Carrey would say, "Sssmoking". Hence, Bachchanistas please bend over, grab your ankles and brace for the pain, Imran Khan is in DA HOUSE. http://shaankhan.wordpress.com/2008/05/29/bachchanistas-brace-for-pain-jaane-tu-ya-jaane-ya-rocks/ -- regards, Vithur HELP EVER; HURT NEVER; LOVE ALL; SERVE ALL
