Watch this film at least once for its honesty and the hard work that has gone into it. For me, despite the flaws, it was a much more enriching experience than “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag,” which is the biggest hit so far among the biopics.

Emraan Hashmi is Superb in This Well-made Entertainer…

This is Leone’s most classy film to date. And she deserves to do more of such movies.

Go for this unabashed masala confection — it offers a tangy dish of masala manoranjan for which we have been craving for a long time. There are no surprises at the macro level, but a good vibe and an imaginative presentation of the old wine to keep us riveted.

Here’s a treat that should not be missed by normal, right-thinking and good human beings. You will probably come out as a higher quality person than when you went in.

This mix of old-world family drama told in a new-age way with contemporary and young nuances does hit the right chords off and on, but overall, the script changes graph jerkily in the second half just when we feel things are trekking back to course slowly for the harangued characters.

This one’s definitely worth a watch for addicts of slick thrillers, and the flaws are not so serious in the larger picture. For Reshammiya fans, this is a bonanza, as he lords it as an actor, singer and composer.

Despite all its flaws, however, “Jai Gangaajal,” as we leave the hall, turns out to be an engaging one-time watch, and, when we empathize so much with the good characters, we realize that the film does make inroads into our heart. Lack of brevity and the flaws might deter the film from getting its due, and that could have been avoided.

Mehta creates visuals, moments and lines that stay with you, and he stays loyal to his subject but does not seemingly care for more than a niche audience.
