Review: Jhootha Hi Sahi is unoriginal, ‘tyresome’
Sukanya Venkatraghavan - FILMFARE
Hmmm so where does one begin? How does one botch up a film? Let me count the ways. First you cast your own wife, not the brightest of ideas especially since she isn’t really leading lady material.
Blessy Chettiar DNA *.5/5
A weak, almost spineless screenplay, mediocre storyline, and “ajeeb” chemistry (rather, no chemistry) between lead pair Abraham and Pakhi contribute to the boredom that is Jhootha Hi Sahi.
Taran Adarsh BOLLYWOODHUNGAMA *.5/5
What comes across is unexciting, boring and lethargic.
Nikhat Kazmi Times of India ***.5/5
The fringe-folk fraternity is more reminiscent of the Hugh Grant gang in films like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill than the Ross-Rachel-Joey-Chandler-Monica-Phoebe Friends circle.
Music by AR Rahman
Hmm - slap a pair of glasses on and turn anyone into a nerdy person. How creative....

Cry Cry Cry - this will take inane and stupid Hindi film song lyrics to a new nadir!
ReplyDeleteMusic sounds terrible. What is Rahman doing these days?
ReplyDeleteNothing about this film excites me - the music ranges from banal to terrible, and the less said about John the better. FAIL
ReplyDeleteMilliblog review of Jhoota Hi Sahi music:
ReplyDeleteCall me dil‘s dulcet notes get accentuated because of Rashid Ali’s vocals as Rahman gets his balladish orchestration pitch-perfect here! Rashid’s other track, Cry cry, is the mellow, pondering equivalent of Aditi; similar in its free-flowing format and conversational lyrics, particularly when Shreya Ghoshal joins, this one is vintage Rahman-style slow poison! Hello hello is where Rahman plays his genre-bending card…rather well. With a faint echo of Middle-eastern, but treading pleasant experimentations, this track by Karthik is interesting precisely because of its unconventional sound! Chinmayi sounds different yet again and is in brilliant form, as she joins Javed Ali in Mayya Yeshodha…a spritely, mildly spoofy traditional tune that gets hyper-enthusiastic towards the end! Sonu goes all moony in Do nishaaniyan, but it sounds at best like a Yuvvraaj leftover, except for Abbas’s fascinating lyrics! Pam pa ra, beyond that simplistic facade, holds a lovely mix of genres, much like Hello hello – a stagey, but charming mix! I’ll be waiting is the soundtrack’s stunning highlight – Vijay Yesudas in a dreamy, beautifully orchestrated, jazzy package that touches on lovely Hindi lyrics too! As if making up for Endhiran’s bombastic outburst, Rahman delivers and succeeds with a gorgeous experiment, quite confidently!

I am going to stop updating these ratings - the reviews are abysmal!

I’m going with one-and-a-half out of five for director Abbas Tyrewala’s amateurish Jhootha Hi Sahi. I’ve seen school plays that are more entertaining!

Khalid Mohd (in his inimitable style):
ReplyDeleteJhootha Hi Sahi Movie Review : Woe kaun thi?
No two ways about it, then, the casting of Pakhi as the heroine is the enterprise’s fatal flaw. She isn’t right for the role which required far more vulnerability. At no point, does she evoke your unbridled empathy just like the rest of this Jhootha etc etc…zzzzzz.
Though he is more gentle than Masand and gives it 2 stars!
