The men who personify Macho are back with comic stride all over again. Yamla Pagla Deewana that had its audiences rolling in laughter is back with its sequel. The humorous gusto of the film is power packed even this time. The film’s music is a rollicking ride mostly laced with typically Punjabi dhol tashe. Not a scintillating piece of work, the film boasts its mediocrity with epic desi tadka that deserves just a casual listen.

Main Taan Aidaan Hi Nachna – Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 Music Review

Made on the base of techno beats, this track has the catchiest tinge to it. Singers Diljit Dosanjh and Sachin Gupta does a good job, but the song’s best part is where Dharamendra joins the leagues of singer to catapult the film’s energy to an escalated level.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 Title Track – Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 Music Review

The title track of the film is teamed with good music and apt lyrics that retains the fun characteristic all through. Sung by Shankar Mahadevan and Sukhwinder Singh, the male voices clearly overshadows the female’s. The song has a moderate appeal. The only thing that makes up for it, is its worthy Punjabi lyrics, that holds the song’s tempo!

Changli Hai Changli - Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 Music Review

Mika Singh seems to personify the cheapster romeo image impeccably. Anuja Chauhan would however be offended with the lyricist of this song, who has downed the standard of the language, Hinglish, she has meticulously cultivated. A very energetic feat, this song doesn’t have a very prolonged shelf life.

Suit Tera Laal Rang Da – Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 Music Review

Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan together render to this track their unsurpassable energy. With vigorous proceedings, this song merges in with the album’s Punjabi flavor well. It lacks in melody but survives for being interesting!

Jatt Yamla Pagla Ho Gaya – Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 Music Review

With its predecessor being quite a beautiful effort, this song is tediously repetitive! Sung by Mika and Suzanne D’Mello, this song is a cut-copy-paste replica of the title track of the album.

The Last Word – Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 Music Review

When the prequel film released, the Punjabi season was in its full bloom and the desi Sara tadka was a rage. Years later, this album fails to evoke the same reaction. Sharib-Toshi duo has done a consistent job yet there is nothing refreshing about the album. Mostly dull, there is a clear lack of vision and creativity in the album which sounds largely flat. Some experimentation with the beats and blending different tones would have done the album some good. I am sticking to a 2 on 5 for the album. Give it a hear only for Main Ta Ainda Hi Nachna!

Sunny Deol

Deols are known for being the gentlemanly sorts. However when it comes to women around them, they tend to get as protective as it gets. This is something which was pretty much up for display very recently when a co-passenger went a tad overboard on seeing the leading lady of their next film together, ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana 2‘.

“Deols and Neha Sharma were travelling for promotion and the flight was all peaceful. On landing, they stepped into a bus that was to take them to the arrival. This is when a fan started clicking pictures of Neha. She didn’t mind that to begin with since such things are normal. In fact she took it all rather casually and kept a straight face. However things became a little too repetitive for comfort when the overzealous fan just didn’t stop and was relentless in taking pictures”, informs a source.

Sensing that Neha was getting uncomfortable, Sunny reached out to the passenger and asked him in a polite, yet stern tone, to stop taking pictures. The glare was enough as the fan sheepishly stepped aside, hence allowing the team to move on peacefully. Thankfully for him as well as the other around, the tempers stayed in control and Sunny didn’t really have a wield a ‘dhai kilo ka haath‘.

“Yes, Sunny indeed took good care of me there. All he had to tell that guy was – ‘Dude, you have taken enough photos so now stop’ and that’s it; he was gone”, smiles Neha, “It is good to be in the company of Deols who are an epitome of chivalry. They are the real men of the industry.”

Considering the fact that there is a lot of travel still required for the entire team en route to the film’s June release, it would be interesting to see if Neha gets to see a much more ferocious side of Deols as well.

The twisted trios are back with a bang, except they are funnier, crazier and make tigers look like whimpering cats. The film opens in Scotland, travels to Banaras and eventually makes its way to UK.

Star cast: Vivek Oberoi, Neha Sharma, Shishir Sharma, Nasser

What’s Good: A tried and tested chemical formula of Rom-Coms.

What’s Bad: Uninteresting plot. Shabby acting. Tacky Humor.

Loo break: Innumerable.

Watch or Not?: No. Sweet humored notoriety suits Munnabhai not Jayantabhai. Carry along pillows and quilt; this movie will treat your Insomnia better than any shrink.

User Rating:

In the land of ‘Bhaigiri’ lives a sweet and Adorable Gangster Jayantabhai. One fine day, destiny plots a chanced encounter and he meets the whacky and beautiful enemy Simran (rechristened Bhadotri). Sparks fly between the two in the most uncommon of ways and wham! They are puppy doggishly in love with each other.

Like romantic comedies go, there are hiccups in order to create a pseudo climax. With Real Daddy issues and Gangster Daddy issues, the film creates a series of unnecessary problems. The age old question of Rom Coms is well maintained – So do they finally end up together in the end? Or whether their love falters and succumbs to the pressures of fate?

Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story Review: Script Analysis

The same old script is nauseating much! The film lacks luster, grandeur and wit of romantic comedies – enough to be a blemish. While crime romance films are quite interesting if well fabricated, the story itself is flawed in this case. It is like an empty mousse with its richness gone bland. The film does have its share of light hearted humor enwrapped in wit that stenches. Bursting with mediocre entertainment, it tries its best to paint a legible picture. The only energetic bits are when Vivek and Neha are romancing each other. The chemistry is viable but forgettable and is not really endearing. Falling in the same terrain as a series of its predecessors, the movie very desperately tries to claw at the warmth of the Munnabhai series. While Hirani’s stories are essentially magical in its fabric, this movie fails you by being shallow and dampens your spirits.

The film’s story is anything but innovative and what’s worse is that it fails to reproduce any good from the charming formula of Opposites attract. One can hope for the film to do well in single screens, but it is a multiplex disaster for the terrible entertainment it manages to deliver. The film is a pathetic cocktail of needless humor. The romance is cheeky but with the story being so weak, one can only do that little for the film.

Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story Review: Star Performances

To be honest, while watching the film my mind kept going back to the charming and suave lover boy image Vivek donned in Saathiya. His good acting has blurred out in our memories because it was that long ago! This man has lost his edge in trying very hard to fit into the stereotypical moulds of Bollywood tailored roles. He is not even half the actor he was in Saathiya or in Company for that matter. However I admit this judgment of mine is based on a film which is awfully weak. The film does very little to defend any of its actors for that matter. Vivek’s Tapori lingo and safe work tries hard to push the film but the not-so-dignified dim witted screenplay butchers it all.

Neha Sharma is straight out of Barbie Land posing as the Angelina Jolie of tinsel town. She is bimbo-ishly silly and outrageously dumb (Sorry, for being racist) She is annoyingly irritating and sleazy. The only thing that works in her favor is her looks but has clearly done zero effort to enhance anything else at all.

The other characters are simply as misplaced as the film itself. It really shocks me opine that even saas bahu serials have a better level of acting.

Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story Review: Direction, Music & Technical Aspects

It feels terrible to slam someone’s work that is dripping off his sweat and blood. But, this film will make you sweat. It is immensely tiresome to watch something as foolish as Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story. The weak direction rambles on pointlessly only to culminate into a pointless climax. The music does no good to the film overall besides the songs sung by Atif Aslam which is definitely soothing. The mash up songs is strikingly good. The movie’s editing is decent. I guess even they couldn’t figure out means to fix up the damaged plot.

Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story Review: The Last Word

A slim story with incorrigible humor just goes on to prove our parents right; we must stay away from bad company – the likes of Jayantabhai! *Poppes a Disprin*

User Rating:

Sachin-Jigar seem to be the flavor of the season with them having belted out hit numbers one after the other in quick succession in films like ABCD – Any Body Can Dance and I Me Aur Main. Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story is the latest to join this list. Directed by first timer Vinnil Markan, who had earlier assisted in Kookie Gulati directed Prince (2010), this film too stars Vivek Oberoi along with Neha Sharma. Produced by Kumar Taurani, this film is purportedly a romantic caper with a twist.

Music plays an important role in creating the initial buzz and curiosity of any film, more so in the case of romantic films. Since this film falls under the romantic genre and also for the fact that its release has been scheduled for Valentine’s weekend, the expectation is that the music will prove to be a strong point. Music composers Sachin-Jigar along with lyricists Priya Panchal and Mayur Puri have managed to live up to the listener’s expectations.

Aa Bhi Ja Mere Mehermaan – Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story Music Review

The album opens with the soulful Aa Bhi Ja Mere Mehermaan. With vocals by Pakistani singer, Atif Aslam, who also happens to make a special appearance in this film, this track is as good as it gets. The music video of this song has already created ripples in the online world and justly so. Aslam’s voice is so captivating & mesmerizing that we can even tend to overlook the fact that most of his hit numbers sound a little bit similar to each other. Priya Panchal’s lyrics about everlasting love & togetherness manage to strike a chord and needless to say, this number will be a guaranteed smash hit.

Thoda Thoda – Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story Music Review

Next in line is the romantic Thoda Thoda sung by Sachin & Shreya Ghoshal. It was a pleasant surprise to hear Shreya sounding so wonderfully different in this number. Her silky smooth voice coupled with the slight hint of sensuousness works wonders and you are completely enamored by the magic of her voice. Her rendition ably complemented by Sachin’s vocals & Priya Panchal’s lyrics and last but not the least, Sachin-Jigar’s unique but captivating composition make this song the next superhit in the making from this album.

Dil Na Jaane Kyun – Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story Music Review

Dil Na Jaane Kyun is the quintessential party song with vocals by Atif Aslam & Anushka Manchanda. This number sees Atif Aslam making a special appearance and it is interesting to see him getting out of his comfort zone and venturing into a territory, which essentially belongs to his co-singer. Anushka Manchanda excels in this track which seems to be totally tailor-made for her as against Aslam who seems to be a little out of sorts but manages to hold fort nevertheless. This rock number is a little bit of a letdown when compared with the first two songs in the album and is just plain average.

Hai Na – Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story Music Review

The penultimate song of this album is the Hard Rock flavored Hai Na which is replete with electric guitar & drum sounds accompanied by thumping beats. It is an unconventional choice of genre for what is essentially a fun number where the lead pair is having a go at each other. Sachin-Jigar’s faith in Atif Aslam’s vocals in this album seems to be slightly unwarranted as Aslam’s voice does not seem to suit this song as well as it suited a number like Aa Bhi Ja, though he has tried his level best to add a rock edge in his rendition. Priya Panchal, who has also doubled up as a lyricist for this film, adds a nice zing to this number with the song itself taking a little while for it to grow on the listener in spite of its foot tapping beats.

Mashup – Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story Music Review

The final track is the Mashup by DJ Kiran Kamath which is basically a remix of all the songs in the album. Personally, I have never really liked the idea of making a khichdi of multiple songs especially so, because I don’t really understand the need for such remixes in the context of a film album. But, this Mashup has been an exception since this was something I really enjoyed for no particular reason whatsoever; maybe because it was so simple & straight forward and at the same time also proved to be foot tapping & catchy.

The Last Word – Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story Music Review

Overall, Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story has quite a few very good songs which will surely turn out to be chartbusters, the most notable ones being Aa Bhi Ja & Thoda Thoda. Sachin-Jigar, with their unorthodox mix of compositions, surely have a winner in their hands and it is really heartwarming to see these relatively new composers growing from strength to strength through the years. Here’s hoping that they continue to keep up their good work in the future too.

Neha Sharma

‘Cute-n-sexy’ – This is one tag that has been attached to Neha Sharma ever since she made her Bollywood debut with Crook. With a hit like Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum under her belt that allowed the image to be enhanced further, Neha further showed the glam side of hers. Now that her Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story is up for release and her chemistry with Vivek Oberoi promising to bring on some heart-warming as well as rib tickling moments, Neha is super excited about her first ever quintessential romcom.

‘Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum’ and now ‘Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story’ – you have yet again fitted perfectly well into the cute-n-sexy mode. Guess that’s the tag which really works for you, right?
(Smiles) Yeah, if audience feel so then why not? I am happy to play along with this tag. It is always good to gain compliments, especially when that image is working with you. Having said that, I don’t want any particular image to be stuck to me.

I am sure any new entrant in Bollywood craves to be seen in a song-n-dance routine with lovey-dovey romantic encounters. It seems to be fulfilled with ‘Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story’, right?
Really, I had never planned it this way that I have to do a quintessential love story or something. Being new in the industry, all I want to do is something that is important for me as an actor. In case of ‘Jayantabhai…’, there was a lot of potential to try and push my acting skills to another level. See, in a comedy there are so many people so you are in a distributed set up where everything has a little something to do. In ‘Jayantabhai…’ though, it is mainly about two principal characters and hence you have to do a very good job. I have pushed myself out of a comfort zone because as an actor this was very challenging.

Well, one can see that you have picked up the challenge well. After all, you and Vivek seem to be sharing wonderful chemistry with each other in the film.
Honestly, Vivek and I didn’t even know each other at all. We were not even friends or something. Also, chemistry isn’t something that you can put your finger on. I have seen couples dating and not sharing any chemistry at all. Sometimes you see real life couple and there is absolutely zero chemistry. So you can’t really say that how does it all end up happening.

So how did you and Vivek work upon that? I am sure he must have put his front foot forward and taken an initiative to make you feel comfortable, right?
As an actor it was very comfortable to be with him. Vivek was very supportive. He used to sit with me and give me time. He would go out of his way and have a healthy discussion that ‘Neha, you could do this or that’. It is important for actors to communicate.

Though ‘Crook’ was a downer, there was a good lease of life that you got with ‘Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum’. Now that ‘Jayantabhai…’ is releasing, how much does the success of a film mean to you?
A hit film is always wonderful for you. Whether it is people amongst audience or from the industry, they all look at you differently. The whole recall quotient becomes very different. So yes, give me a hit film anytime!

“Wonderful! I get to work with the legendary actor Dharmji. So I can’t consider myself more lucky. I am working with such awesome actors, all of them, so I can be more blessed,” said Neha.

But before that, Neha will be seen in Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story opposite Vivek Oberoi. The film has been directed by Vinnil Markan and is produced by Kumar Taurani under the Tips Music Films banner.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 is going to be as comic as it’s 1st part, if not more. As per sources the movie starts in Scotland, travels to Banaras and eventually makes its way to UK.

Let’s see what new magic the Deol’s create with this one.

Tushaar Kapoor and Ritesh Deshmukh have finally found their super-hit flick but sadly for the film, it’s box office journey will be over this week thanks to Ek Tha Tiger. The movie it seems will not have a box office collection of more than 46 Crores. However, the makers of Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum should be pretty happy with the results of their endeavor.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum is expected to witness considerable drops at the box office thanks to the release of Gangs of Wasseypur 2. The movie should ideally have a lifetime collection of 45 Crores in India. Anything beyond that looks tough due to the release of Ek Tha Tiger next week.

The movie had made a  5.85 Crores collection in it’s 2nd weekend at the domestic box-office. The total box office collections of Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum as of now is 39.55 Crores.

With the release of Gangs of Wasseypur 2 tomorrow, Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum might suffer some downfall, considering the huge hype over the former. However, we have to admit Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum has already done pretty well for itself.
