Blast From The Past!!

Puneet Sira's 'Jai Veeru' is a outdated flick, but honesty, it works for me it works. When I say it works for me, I mean it works on me relaxing my brain when I watch a film like this. The film is a cut-out 80's Hindi film, 6 songs, comedy, action and emotional melodrama. 'Jai Veeru' is escapist cinema to the hilt, but it comes as a relief for me, I didn't even think or ask myself a question while watching the film, as I didn't take it too seriously. 'Jai Veeru' is no way a good film, but isn't the worst film either.

Performances: Fardeen Khan is decent. Kunal Khemu is enjoyable, he's in from. He's spontaneous in comic scenes, stylish in songs, and very natural in emotional scenes. He has the energy to sustain in Hindi films. Dia Mirza's character is predictable, and that's the biggest flaw in her character. As far as her performance is concerned, Dia is as usual. Anjana Sukhani is functional. Arbaaz Khan is passable as the menace. Govind Namdeo is good.

on the whole 'Jai Veeru' reminds you of films that were made in the 80's, watch it if you were a hardcore fan of the films that were made in the decade gone by.
