Movie review: Jaan-E-Mann
21 October 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this on the first day itself.I was very excited to see Salman,Akshay and Preity on screen together coz the trailers itself looked appealing.

So does Jaan-E-Mann disappoint? You betcha not! In fact,this movie makes the "love-triangle" saga seem new!

First the movie starts off with Akshay kumar narrating the story of our three characters Suhaan,Ahgastya and Piya.The movie starts of well and makes the viewer interested.We follow the character's lives from present time to flashbacks in college.The first-half itself has its share of comedy moments but also sad ones as we learn about Suhaan and Piya's relationship.

Then we follow Suhaan and Agastya to New York as Suhaan coaches Agastya to woo Piya.The scenes are beautiful and cinematography is excellent.The songs are melodious and beautifully picturised.

OK now for the bad points...i felt that Anupam Kher's character was wasted.he had almost no significance in a role that actually wasn't easy to enact.Also,the second half of the film gets a bit draggy.Ironically,the director,Sirish Kunder is an editor for films..

Performance wise Salman and Akshay are awesome.Both enact their parts with ease and great passion.Can't wait to see them on the big screen again.Both were amazing,its really difficult to pick one. Preity Zinta is BEAUTIFUL.Every single time she comes on screen,I was absorbed..she does justice to her role as Piya.One feels the director should have given her more scope..but she did well anyway.

Overall,kudos to the main three leads! They are the heart and soul of Jaan-E-Mann.This flick is enjoyable from beginning to end.I would recommend this to anyone who is willing to have a good time with laughter and tears.Granted not all is perfect with the film as i mentioned earlier,but with so many positive points holing it together,who cares.

Jaan-E-Mann is the type of film whereby when you see it once,you'd want to see it over and over again and it would be just as,if more enjoyable than the last time.So,yeah,go watch Jaan-E-Mann and have a good time!
