Cast: Vivek Oberoi and Neha Sharma
Director: Vinnil Markan
Vivek Oberoi’s latest release Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story proves to be a damper. An illogical plot which consist of a disconnected narrative and amateurish story-telling makes you wonder how someone would even think of making this film. The film is just an over-stretched version of it's two-minute teaser.
Director Vinnil Markan draws inspiration from action-comedy potboilers such as Singham and Rowdy Rathore. The director has tried his best to follow the same formulae but has failed miserably. There would have been more scope of an impact of such scenes, only if there was some quirky element attached to them. Those films were carried on the able shoulders of Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar. These actors have a massive fan following but in JKLS, the mass wouldn't be kicked to see Vivek Oberoi follow the same format. He seems to have typecast himself in a Company-type role. He actually plays a similar rowdy character in this film too but it looks more like a caricature, making it less believable and effective.
Viveik Oberoi needs to add fuel to his performances. For an actor who has portrayed powerful roles in the past (Company, Saathiya, Shootout At Lokhandwala) can't be wasting his talent in films like these. Playing the main role of Jayantabhai in the film, he falters time and again, trying hard to portray a cheeky hooligan-cum-wannabe bhai who falls for his cute-cum-sexy neighbour (played by Neha Sharma). Neha too, doesn't quite succeed in saving this disaster of a film. The love story fails to connect at all levels. The problems both the characters face and the development of the plot thereon is a mess. There comes a point where you're clueless about what's happening on screen. Even the chemistry between the lead characters, is dry. They're far from being cute or romantic. Then there are dialogues like ‘Agar tum Mumbai main fail ho gaye, toh khot tum main hain, Mumbai main nahin!’, which just keep re-iterating how bad a film could be.
From a slightly fashion point of view, it was quite bizarre how casually Neha Sharma would strut around in hot shorts, tight noodle straps or even backless dresses all through the film. She mentions, time and again, how she's scared of living in this city. So, for a girl who’s scared of living in an inappropriate colony with a neighbour who's a gangster seems a bit odd. But well, suspension of disbelief, maybe?
