Shaad Ali’s madness comes onscreen as we see a number of interesting moments in this 2 hr 15 mins films but the screenplay is let loose by Habib Faisal. Slowly, it gets absorbed that the film carries no story to tell and is only a light hearted amalgamation of stunning visuals.
Musically Jhoom Barabar Jhoom misses that zing that was clearly visible in Saathiya and Bunty Aur Babli. The title track rendered by Shankar Mahadevan is going to rock the chartbusters. It is destined to be well-liked and accepted in the very first hearing. Ticket to Hollywood boasts of a western musical setup with Bombay Vikings singer Neeraj Shridhar and Alisha Chinai singing together. The track boasts of a interesting video to complement with. Other songs can be given a miss.
Visually, the film is rich and glossy. Cinematography is phenomenal. Fashion designer Aki Narula’s costumes are exceptional. Vaibhavi Merhant’s choreography is pretty innovative.
Abhishek and Preity capture the entire limelight with their okay performances, inspite of a bad script. Bobby Deol and Lara Dutta are shifted in the shadows. Lara Dutta is the best out of the four though her role is cut out to miniscule. Amitabh is a sheer waste in the one song that he does in installments throughout the film.
Overall, watch the film if you are big fans of Aby Baby and Zingful Preity because looking out for a captivating tale will certainly disappoint you.
