Jhoom Barabar Jhoom

Jhoom Barabar boasts of ALL STARs cast starting with Big B, Jr B, Bobby Deol, Preity ZInta and Lara Dutta. What do you expect when these stars are together in a movie? As if this is not enough, the music is absolutely smashing. You just hope to just sway to Jhoom Barabar all through the movie. But NO. You are left disappointed at the end of the movie and feel there is nothing in the movie apart from Big B lightening the screen every now & then dancing to the title song.

The movie is about 2 pairs Abhishek Bachchan & Preity Zinta and Bobby Deol & Lara Dutta. Abhishek and Preity meet at Railway Station. Train is delayed and they engage in the conversation to find out that they are engaged and have come to receive their partners. It takes them 2 hrs and a few electrifying dance episodes of Big B to fall in love with each other. Rest of the movie is about whether they get together in their love or love being together with their finace/fiancee.

There are a few things to keep in mind before watching the movie

1. Note that this is NOT a BIG B movie. Big B only appears in song sequences. Dont be tempted by his appearances and energy levels to watch the movie.
2. Dont expect Abhishek and Bobby on a motorbike let you think of Big B and Dharam in Sholay.
3. If you are impressed by the Music and cant stop tapping feet the moment you hear Jhoom, you are better off watching the video on TV.

The movie starts off very well with Big B dancing to the tunes of Jhoom Barabar. The episodes between Abhishek & Lara Dutta and Preity and Bobby are totally illogical. Abhishek bachchan looks ok in the movie while Amitabh Bachchan rocks in his new getup. The entire crowd was united whenever Amitabh is on the screen, such was his presence. Preity looks old and Bobby strives to appears cool. Lara Dutta is average. There are no other characters in the movie. There is not much of scope for comedy in the movie. The only saving disgrace for the movie is the awesome Music.

The movie is recommended for A & B Category users. There are not many movies currently, so Category C users might also give a try. It is a short length movie, people with risk taking appetite and those who have no other work can give a try.
