In the past years, Hindi film industry has developed a lot
by experimenting with different genres of movies. Directors of Hindi film
industry have crossed their barriers to come up with new and fresh ideas.
Similarly, a talented director, Anurag Basu has come up with a great plot,
which is a musical genre movie with an adventure saga.
Jagga
Jasoos
It’s an adventure genre movie
starring Ranbir Kapoor as Jagga and Katrina Kaif as Shruti. The adventurous
roller coaster ride of the duo will leave you flabbergasted.
This is the second movie of Anurag
Basu with Ranbir kapoor after Barfi. Considering their excellent chemistry in Barfi,
the expectation went higher, but this time Anurag Basu seems to have failed to
live up to the expectation. Where on one hand people are talking about Katrina
Kaif’s acting was not up to the mark, on the other hand, Ranbir’s performed his
role with conviction, where he played the character of a stammer.
This musical adventurous movie is a must watch if you are a
fan of comic fiction movies. If you are looking for relaxing and light-hearted
movie then you should watch Jagga Jasoos with your family and friends. For

Synopsis

figure took the orphan Jagga along with him but later left him in a hostel.
Every year Jagga on his birthday, used to wait for Tuti-Futi’s video.
The young mind of Jagga was sharp enough to solve mystery
cases. One year when Jagga didn’t receive the birthday video tape from
Tuti-Futi, he goes on a quest to search for him. Along the journey joined
Shruti who was once saved by Jagga. Using his detective skills, Jagga uncovers
the truth about Tuti-Futi that leaves everyone surprised.
Anurag Basu createsan intelligent plot wherein he shows
Jagga communicating with people through singing as he has a problem of stammering.
In the entire film you can expect one thing, that is, you won’t get bored. The
fantasy film with the adventure saga will leave you asking for more.
Different critics have given different
types of rating to this film. Come let’s know what some of the famous critics
think about this movie.
Rajeev
Masand – CNN NEWS18
According to Rajeev, Jagga Jasoos
was a father-son centric film that seems getting drifted away somewhere in the
Tintin-like adventure. Among all this, one good thing happened, that is Ranbir
Kapoor’s acting. After Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani, this is the second time where
Ranbir pulled off a brilliant comic performance. Katrina also pulled off quite
well but most of the work she let Ranbir do it.
Rajeev rates this film 2/5 as he expected more from this
movie.
Rohit
Vats from Hindustan Times
He believes Jagga Jasoos is one of
the best
cinematic film
created in recent months. The film will make you dive into the adventurous
world from where you wouldn’t want to come out. Anurag Basu has directed the
film very beautifully; even Ranbir Kapoor didn’t drop a single emotion. During
the second half of the film, you come across the multidimensional plot of the
story. Jagga Jasoos was an undeniable experiment when it comes to music.
Rohit has rated this film 3.5/5 as
Ranbir Kapoor’s effort could be easily visible through his acting.
Times
of India
As
per TOI,
the film a bit too long, believes the film tried fitting in some lavish and
foolish ideas. The plot was not planned properly due to which the film missed
the essence in some of the parts. She calls it ‘Ranbir-Katrina film’s mistake’.
Despite giving a novel treatment the film missed warmth in it.
They gave the film 2.5/5 as the
story of the film went missing.
Rediff
Review
The film is very much detailed and
the concept of the overall movie is based on a musical journey. Being one of
the best storytellers, Anurag Basu has directed beautifully as always. Ranbir
has delivered a great performance.
Rediff gave this movie 3.5/5 and
calls it one
of the best adventurous movies.
Music
Review
When it comes to Music, Pritam has
left no nook and corner in this film. This film has given a big opportunity to
the composer to fly. The songs and music have not let anyone down. The birthday
party song in the film is one of the best composed among other songs.

response from the public. Where some people liked the musical adventurous quest
