Not Terrible, but Not Memorable

Jagan (played by Madhavan) falls in love with Jumuna (Amogha), without knowing her name or address. She is a strong believer in fate, and so writes her details on a 100rs bill, and tells Jagan that if it reaches him within a year, she will marry him. After spending six months searching for her, Jagan -- through no fault of his own -- becomes engaged to Seema (Pooja), the sister of two dangerous politicians. Meanwhile, Jumuna realizes that she cares for Jagan and begins to search for him as well. The two continue to miss crossing paths, while the date for Jagan's marriage draws ever nearer.

The plot of this romantic drama is predictable, and not well-written enough to be convincing. The music is mostly enjoyable, but the Amazon streaming version of this film does not have subtitles for the songs, so it's impossible to comment on the lyrics.

Madhavan delivers a good performance, and Pooja does equally well. Amogha, however, has one main facial expression throughout the movie: dimwitted. She flounders throughout giving the impression of a clueless airhead.

Overall, Jay Jay is an average film, not terrible, but definitely not memorable. I can't see myself rewatching it, or recommending it to others.
