Jaane Jaan

With the writer-director, the technicians, the music team and the actors at their very best, Jaane Jaan is an all-round triumph. Kareena Kapoor conveys a wide gamut of emotions in a performance marked by remarkable restraint, while Jaideep Ahlawat makes light work of an extremely demanding character, capturing the man's interiority and body language to stunning effect.

Kareena Kapoor is both the strength and weakness of this film. There's a scene in which Kareena Kapoor Khan shows just how a bona-fide star can light up the screen, in which her 'real girl' character segues neatly into her 'reel girl'.

The film has plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked but not everything is explained clinically. What the director has excelled in is to provide an emotional gravitas to the proceedings. Watch the film for the masterful performances by Vijay Varma, Jaideep Ahlawat and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

It's a well-woven murder mystery with no loose end and definitely a must watch. And most importantly after watching Jaane Jaan, the story will get into your head and you can't stop thinking about it. The film will totally consume you.

When you have a solid screenplay to rely on, it is half the battle won for everyone involved. Then all you need to do is cast the right actors. In 'Jaane Jaan's' case, both these demands were met by writer and filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh ably.

If Jaideep Ahlawat doesn't get significant acting accolades in the upcoming awards season, the tad bit of remaining faith in these shows will die a silent death. WHAT A PERFORMANCE! FLAWLESS. Sujoy Ghosh manages to hit a home run in the world of mysteries once again, keeping your brain hooked till the last minute of the film.
