I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Yash Chopra this banner has given several hits, many nonsense films have worked from their bannerSo here comes JBJ after the success of D:2 and average business of TRRPThe film brought Abhishek Bachchan(riding on the high of GURU that time) The usual Preity Zinta, useless Bobby and the trying hard to make a place for herself Lara DuttaPoor Bobby and Preity felt doing a YRF film will give them a hit hence they signed it But ??????The film became a turkey The film is a boring nonsense film you can sleep instead of watchingThe first half is monotonous, i watched it in the theatre and fell like sleeping, The film goes on and on with the fake stories and the endless bak bak by Abhi and PreitySecond half is better when the true identities are revealed but then except some funny scenes the film is again bad The dance competition though well handled is too long and the climax is crap And what was Amitabh doing in the film? dancing like a joker Even the characterization of Bobby as a nerd is forgotten in the dance competitionDirection by Shaad Ali is terrible, can't believe the same guy gave us SAATHIYA Music is okayAmongst actors Abhishek looks like a South Indian actor with that long oily hair and the beard and he tries very hard and does well in some scenes but irritates in many scenes Bobby Deol is bad in the first half, in fact you can't hear his lines properly in some scenes In 2nd half he is better but nothing great Lara Dutta emerges the best of the lot, does a great job and that brings us to Preity Preity who is called a sensible actress, can't believe she did such a crap film, she is the most irritating here Amongst rest Amitabh must stop doing his son a favour and monkeying around

By far, the worst film i've seen all year. The less said about this one the better. The storyline was interesting in concept but executed terribly. On top of that, the movie was mind-numbingly boring. The main characters are both shallow and illog...(read more) ical...words cannot describe how random and boring the background stories that occupy the first half of the film are. The whole Ticket To Hollywood sequence in Abhi's story was both pointless (ticket to Hollywood?) and crude (the Princess Diana bit). Preity Zinta's story was even more absurd (the whole superhero aspect) and insulting (india vs Pakistan, Indian's skin color). Overall, ridiculous and pointless can describe the majority of Jhoom's plot. Ditto for the 'dance off' sequence that occupies most of the second half. By the time the so called 'twist' shows up...the audience cannot sympathize with the characters since their is no reason given for their feelings...their really is no plot development to speak of...this movie just goes nowhere. The only reason to see this is for its beautifully staged songs. But even those get annoying...seeing Amitabh Bachchan (in a pointless cameo) and company repeat the title song 6 times throughout the movie is enough too drive a person insane. While the film is told in a very unconventional fantasy musical type style...it cant pull it off. Unlike last years wonderful Jaan-E-Mann...Yash Raj didn't even try. The script and direction is absolutely abysmal. As far as acting...Abhishek was very annoying, and Preity Zinta sleepwalked through her role. On the other hand, Lara/Bobby gave credible performances as Abhi and Preity's love interests and lended some life to the film. They showed both sides of their characters excellently...along with some of the songs and cinematography, they were the saving grace of the movie. Overall, as of all Yash Raj productions of late...this film is all gloss no substance. Avoid.

Director Shaad Ali's last effort was the thoroughly entertaining Bunty Aur Babli. The tone of that film was so purposely tongue-in-cheek and so purposely over the top that you had to applaud the filmmaker for persevering with the promise of his screenplay till the end credits. The film was very deservingly, a commercial hit.This time around Mr. Ali and producer Aditya Chopra have once again come up with a very interesting premise that you can do so much with. And just like BAB, the soundtrack courtesy of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Gulzar is so in sync with the tone of the film. The title track is one of the best songs of this decade. But everything else is like an experiment gone wrong. The screenplay seems to be a very rough draft which was never proof read or updated - the film has major momentum issues. It would be very easy to blame the editor for this but that is like blaming a doctor for not being able to save a patient with a terminal illness. The film is majorly miscast - besides Abhishek Bachan, all the other three leads are a total let down. Shaad Ali's film making is not your typical loud Bollywood film making. He does not overdo the gloss or the background score. This exposes the actors in every scene for what they really are - good or bad, sincere or insincere. I wonder if Bobby Deol will ever come to the realization that he is in the wrong profession. Lara Dutta's beautiful legs do not make up for her poor performance. And Preity Zinta - I don't think she gets Shaad Ali or his sense of humor. She never really bought into the film. And Abhishek alone could not get us to buy into it either.Perhaps the makers were still so enamored with their previous success that the focus and conviction that should have shone through never did. Maybe the hunger was missing. Entertaining commercial films have to walk the fine line between proposal and content - this one tripped.

I feel that the characters in this so-called movie were awfully atrocious. They had a really bad storyline and everyone, even a baby, could have thought of the plot. Please don't see it. I would think that after Bobby Deol's good performances in other movies, he would definitely not choose this kind of movies. I expected way more from Preity Zinta and Abishek Bachchan. My admiration for Preity Zinta has gone from 100 % to 50 %. There was a very bad thing that I noticed in this movie. Were they so unoriginal that they had to get an important part of the movie from a newspaper? This isn't a spoiler since I'm not telling you any important details from this kind of movie that no-one should watch anyway.
