100 Days review :
One of the most chilling thrillers of '90s; 100 Days also brought two dancing sensations - Madhuri Dixit and Javed Jaffrey - together in the spectacularly picturised 'De De Dil Le Le Dil' song. Watching both dance together was itself worth the ticket price..
The bonus came in form of a unique plot involving premonition which Madhuri gets about her elder sis Moon Moon Sen (looking sexy as ever). After her sisters mysterious disappearance, Madhuri meets our hero Jackie Shroff and he woos her to marriage. Bechaara Javed ends up being a dost only!!
The plot thickens when Madhuri starts visualizing the murder clues in her premonitions and dost Javed helps her unravel the raaz behind it. 100 Days was Partho Ghosh's first release as a director (His supposed debut film Mera Damaad (1986) got a limited release in 1995) and his taut and racy execution was much appreciated.
Originally, Neelam and Javed Jaffery were to play the leads but later the script went to Jackie Dada with some changes and he came on board with Madhuri as the main lead while Javed Jaffrey played the supporting role.
Ram Laxman's music was the film's highlight with 'Sun Beliya', 'Gabbar Singh' and of course 'De De Dil' becoming chartbusters.
Madhuri looked absolutely gorgeous in the film and this is one of her underrated performances. Jackie Dada was earnest as always. So was Javed. Laxmikant Berde provided the laughter quotient and his wedding gift ploy was truly lol worthy. Jai Kalgutkar impressed as the bald baddie.
100 Days released at Metro Cinema, Mumbai where it ran for a couple of weeks before shifting to Naaz Cinema where it celebrated its 100 days. :) I had seen the film on its first Saturday at Badal Bijlee Cinema, Matunga where it ran Housefull for multiple weeks. An unmissable film, in case you have not seen it yet!!
