Mumbai Meri Jaan (2008) Movie Review - Sensitively written, Sensibly directed
29
August
Recently, Yash Chopra was seen in media bashing his own script writers (Interestingly, his productions latest movie Bachna Ae Haseeno was written by his own son - Aditya Chopra and almost all others movies he is at least co-writer) for recent string of flop movies. When asked about Box Office disasters, he shrugged off the reporters saying there is crisis of good and creative writers in film fraternity. Well, have you would ever let serious writers ever in your studio? YRF wants sellable story writers with lots of glam or sham not serious and realistic story writers.
Lets leave that old moron (with due respect). Mumbai Meri Jaan is one movie that could be slap for YRF’s amturish script writers. Without a doubt, the debutant director Nishikant Kamat’s does wonder with such gripping storyline and much realistic presentation of 2006 Mumbai Blast. Superb screenplay, excellent performance by all major cast and perfect raw cinematography gives Mumbai Meri Jaan edge over other movies released last Friday.
Definitely a must watch movie.







Everybody have heard of IT brain drain, but it seems Bollywood script writers has also sold their brain in some mandi, that’s why they are always eager to copy script from Hollywood movie and implement it frame by frame in the movie WITHOUT giving proper credits. Yes, much awaited Salman, Big B & Priyanka starrer - God Tussi Great Ho is nothing but Xerox of Hollywood blockbuster
We had Shahenshah of Bollywood - Amitabh, Baadshah of Indian cinema - Shah Rukh Khanand now King of Hindi Films is here - Akshay Kumar. Does he live up to the name “Singh is Kinng”?
What would happen when outdated 1990 love story with clichéd dialogues meets sci-fi gizmos FX world?
Well, yet another well established director - Priyadarshan, falters big time in Mere Baap Pehle Aap. The maker of Hera-Pheri, Hulchul, Hungama and most recently Bhool Bhulaiya serves this time a stale fish. Despite novelty of hilarious idea of ‘Getting your 55 year old father married’ the movie falls flat due to lousy script and sleep walking performances from lead actors.
