What’s It About 
‘Jawaani Jaaneman’ is a typical quirky space which Saif Ali Khan is pro at. Saif who is the king of this territory is back to his turf as the quintessential commitment-phobic romantic hero. The actor who will be seen relishing his youth even at 40 gets a bolt from the blue when he discovers that he is the father of a 21-year-old girl (Alaya F). The journey then begins with speckled emotions that will make you laugh and even sob at some points. As his daughter, Alaya F is on a trip in search of her biological father and wanting to reunite him with his mother (Tabu).

What’s Hot 
Alaya F is a complete surprise package. The star kid who is being launched opposite powerful actors like Saif Ali Khan and Tabu remarkably finds her space and slips into the flow naturally. Alaya is clearly here to stay and the budding star that has the potential to persist and she is clearly a threat to many other newcomers.

The seasoned actor Saif Ali Khan doesn’t need any workshops or readings to pull off a role like this, he does it with ease. He has been there and done that! His flair for comic timing is unbeatable and the punch lines are incredible.

Tabu comes for a brief period and she justifies her part well. Nitin Kakkar the maker of ‘Filmistaan’ did his best to try his hands with a completely new space and he has clearly managed to hit the right chord with this film. His format of storytelling looks convincing. The screenplay is very crisp and to the point, it will not give you a second to dose off.

‘Ole Ole’ and ‘Gallan Kardi’ are the standout songs in the soundtrack and will definitely make you groove in your seat.

What’s Not 
While it’s a complete fun ride the film may seem a little stretched which could have been avoided. It is purely not a believable concept so there will be parts which look absolutely unrelatable that gets hard to digest.

Verdict
If you are looking to laugh your gut out then this film is a must-watch!

Box-Office
‘Jawaani Jaaneman’ has the potential to create some magic at the box office as its the only big film releasing this Friday. Saif’s loyal fan will definitely keep the cash register ringing. However, it seems that single screen audience may give this film a miss and it is anticipated to do better in the multiplex.
