Movie Review: Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai



A love story between a human and an alien from Mars- it sounds really interesting on paper but for making a film out of it, one needs to have strong writing abilities. And when you have a writer who has written films like Heyy Babyy & Masti making his debut as a director, you automatically look forward to a "comical entertainer" along with some over the top jokes & dialogues.

Rajesh Parekh (Ritesh Deshmukh) is a simple Gujarati boy who's been looking for love since he was a baby. Thoroughly unsuccessful in his endeavors, he nearly gives up till he meets Natasha (Sonal Sehgal), the girl of his dreams. Desh (Ruslaan Mumtaz) is the youngest superstar of the country and Mothers want to adopt him and their daughters want to marry him. But when will he find the girl of his dreams? All of their worlds turn upside down when Tara, an alien from Venus, lands on Earth in the search of true love. Rajesh and Tara meet & become good friends. What happens next? Does Rajesh, Tara & Desh find true love?

The first half is extremely well made with a lot of comical scenes, some of them being so hilarious that you almost start enjoying the film to the core. The brilliant cameos by Akshay Kumar, Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Sajid Khan & Priyanka Chopra add value to the first half. Scenes between Ritesh & Vishal are top notch! The film takes a dig in the second half with some dull/boring moments. At the end, the film turns out to be another love triangle kind of a movie with painfully predictable end. Dialogues are witty & exciting.

Ritesh Deshmukh yet again plays a lovable loser after last years Aladin but looks as if he's tired, especially in the close up scenes. Jacqueline is masculine yet so cute. Ruslaan Mumtaz looks good in whatever role he has but his voice has been dubbed :( Vishal plays his part well as a horny friend we usually see around! Satish Shah as Ritesh's dad is fantastic and Sonal Sehgal is soo beautiful, I wish she was seen more and more in films. Ritesh & Jacqueline share amazing chemistry on screen.

Music by Sajid Wajid is good and I love Keh Do Zara & Koi Rok Bhi Lo the most. Background score is good too!

Milap Zaveri does well with his debut film with some amazing moments. One should surely look forward to his next and expect something better than this!

The final verdict.
Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai is yet another romantic comedy which works well in parts and disappoints in the rest. Watch it for the Comical situations, Ritesh & Jacqueline chemistry, Good Music & Awesome Cameos.

Rating: 2.5 (Average)

New Releases: 19th March, 2009

So many film releases and I feel guilty about not watching them. And, the truth is I still can't do anything and won't be able to write much for a few days so just thought why not get you the overall reviews/feedback of people around which could help you to decide the best bet this weekend.


Okay, the first release this week is Love Sex Aur Dhokha, before you jump to a conclusion, its not a porn film although it is said to be based on the infamous 2004 DPS MMS Scandal and is about Voyeurism (Google it if you don't know what it is). Starring some new faces and directed by Dibakar Baneerjee (Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! & Khosla Ka Ghosla), LSD has been called a path breaking film by many film critics. Audience reaction has been mixed so far. The Best.


The second release this week is a sports film Lahore, directed by Sanjay Puran Singh. Lahore is an award winning tale which is touted to be the best sport film of India and has some of the best people behind it. The response from the critics has been good but not as good as LSD. Audience reaction has been better than LSD. The Second Best.

The third release is Shaapit, a horror film directed by Vikram Bhatt who earlier made 1920 & Raaz. Shaapit starring Aditya Narayan (Debut) & Shweta Agarwal (debut) is again touted to be the most scariest film of India by the makers and people who have seen it call it so. Critics response so far has been extremely mixed for this one. The Third Best.

All three films have merits and demerits, but Love Sex Dhokha has been called as the best film of the year so far which is why I would recommend this film to all film lovers.
