Jaan-E-Mann: Let's Fall in Love... Again (2006)
Deserved to be a Super- Hit
First of all, let me tell you that Jaan-E-Mann was not a commercial success although it was a critical success. Actually, Jaan-E-Mann deserved to be a commercial success as well. Jaan-E-Mann is a love triangle of sorts and there is nothing really novel about the story. So how is Jaan-E-Mann still interesting? Because of the way it is told. Jaan-E-Mann is narrated and shown in a beautiful way that -despite being an ordinary story- still makes you guess what will happen and still keeps you interested. A movie with a story like Jaan-E-Mann could be easily be boring and fall flat but Jaan-E-Mann doesn't. Jaan-E-Mann is also very realistic and some of you might feel that this is your own story. Also, Jaan-E-Mann has all the elements you look in a Rom-Com. It is funny and sad and has its share of romantic moments. The songs are great and what I like about the songs are that they don't stop the flow of the story but rather go WITH the story and help carry the story forward. The direction by Shirish Kunder is good. He is an under- rated director. The editing is above average. The script is great as well. The background music is great as well. Now, coming to performances: Anupam Kher, Javed Sheikh, Aman and the rest of the supporting cast were really good. Preity Zinta as Piya was good but was not given enough opportunities in this movie. Now, the hardest decision is to choose who acted better: Salman Khan or Akshay Kumar? Both of them have contrast characters. Salman Khan plays Suhaan who is an arrogant and over- confident guy while Akshay Kumar plays Agastya who is a kind, naive and shy guy. Both of them have great chemistry and play their roles beautifully. The best moments for both them were: Salman Khan: The opening song which shows Suhaan's and Piya's relationship, when he is with his daughter, when he comes to know the truth, when he finds out that Agastya and Piya are engaged and in the epic song, Sau Dard. Akshay Kumar: every time he laughs, every time he goes to woo Piya (you can see his nervousness and excitement), in the song, Ajnabi Sehar, and the scene in front of the mirror when he finds the truth. Also a thing to notice, this role is VERY different from Akshay's usual roles so to perform this role so well is a great achievement. Conclusion: Buy a DVD and watch it.
