Jawani Phir Nahi Ani- Movie Review by Shoby
1.5 Heart out of 5
You have a liberty to call it a writer's block but I prefer to say that I literally have nothing to write over this over-hyped not so funny comedy flick directed by Nadeem Baig. From the cherished director of hit and acclaimed TV serials like Azar Ki Ayegi Baraat (its sequels) and Pyarey Afzal, I did not expected such sort of half backed product. With big TV giant ARY Films behind thee film, it was expected to turn out a much better affair.
Story line is shaky with three husbands Hamza Ali Abbasi, Ahmad Ali Butt & Vasay Chaudhry (hell tired of their married lives) desperately want a chance to live a life with no hassle of families & their respective family problems. Their best buddy Humayun Saeed takes them to an all man journey in Bankok by telling lies about his illness to their wives. Caught by their wives on the scene, the family lives of three friends get disturbed. On the other hand, Humayun Saeed gets ready to marry an overly spoiled (selfie loving) daughter of a multi millionaire (Javed Sheikh) and Bushra Ansari. Rest is left to be watched by yourself.
The biggest problem with JPNA is its story line & script. Believe me, whatever I told above looks good if it is executed in a meaningful way but the dilemma for the movie is that the director seems to be totally clueless about how to proceed the film. Some typical glitches are there in the plot. I am leaving the errors that visibly appear in the plot & screenplay so that your time is not wasted.
Film looks like more of an ad campaign for top most brands from food chains to beauty products to dairy milks. I believe some silliness is always welcome in comedy genre but once again I reiterate that at least some sort of believable moments should be there in the proceedings to get the idea straight. Only entertaining factor to me in the movie was Ismail Tara's performance.
With a very few one-liners to tickle your bones, this one is a simple no-brainer pathetically displayed comedy which fails to leave an impact. Songs are just OK and choreography... Lets forget it.
Overall, this movie did not turn out what I expected. Better luck next time.
