The news is finally sealed and delivered. Yash Chopra's latest offering Jhoom Barabar Jhoom has faultered at the box office and how. The trade pundits are shouting at the roof tops that the film has bit the dust. Sivaji has eaten this Aki Nirula's fashion showing for lunch, dinner and idli... "Boss ek picture hit hain and doosri dabba", informs by spy at the ticket counter in Fame Ad Labs with a smirk that will make the best of us cringe. It may take years to make one film..but it takes one opinion to send your intestines into a mess.
As far as I am concerned this film was a big hog wash. Total crap. Nothing to offer. Nothing to crave about...and nothing to write home about. The saving grace of the movie was the stars who gave their best to fight the unreal surrounding they were placed in. The surprise packet was Bobby Deol without a doubt. Finally he seems to shed his lazy outlook and get his act right. He seems to give it his best and it shows. This film may have flopped, but it brings Bobby of yore- back. Lara proves that she is versatile. From a french chick to a cheap whore in Southhall certainly needs range. Whore kuch nahin!!!
It's not that I am rejoicing a failure of a film. Only I am thrilled that finally YRF also has been bitten by the Friday bug. All the filmis are finally celebrating and that chorus seems to say, " even they are human...even they have tasted failure." Now no one can say get the big stars like Yash Chopra does and you will know what is success...even they flop. The writing on the box office wall is clear...The myth of making a bad film and packaging it well is not going to save the movie. So what if you are Yash Chopra productions!!!
If Mukta makes a bad film, Good Boy Bad Boy they will be thrashed. If Ravi Copra goofs up with Baabul, he will be ripped. And if you make Jhoom Barabar jhoom you wont be spared. You could be anyone. The public is not going to allow you too many mistakes. They bleched with Kabul Express. They sighed with Tara Rum Pum and by the time Jhoom was served to them, it was time for them to throw up.
Out of all days, Friday is great leveller. It brings all to one level. The YRF team has found that out this 'fry'day. And hopefully they would amends quickly. And the other indelible truth that Friday has warned all film folks in Bombay is: Never ever mess with Rajnikanth. He is the BOSS.
What YRF can't???...RajniKANT!!!

GOD!! finally sum 1 noticed the truth n spoke out too...
bravo!!
I fail to understand the need to make films which make completely no sense, has no message or touches no emotions wat so ever..?
but I wanna appreciate the courage of the producers to have released the film inspite have known the naked truthful destiny of the film..
I agree Dallaya. The scare of failure is spine chilling. But the ones who go out and face what the public has to say...are the ones with the steel of balls. The ones who made Khosla ka Ghosla also were on the side of the brickbats for months together. Till they released the film, and once they did. They laughed to the bank.
The least people with "steel" balls can do is "steal" your wallets too. Ha ha.
Can´t say something about this movie or most of the other movies because here in Germany we get to see it really late or not at all.
But your writing shows that all productions/films are depending on the same - good script, good actors and good audience - if it has a big name or not.
havent seen the movie to check weather what you say is right but I trust what you say on movies :-)
Well, haven't seen the movie myself,But after Dhoom 2 (which was for me the worst movie ever made) tasted success at the box office, i had assumed this one would be even a bigger hit. I have always wondered how Yash Raj banner films always tasted success, films like Veer Zaara, tara rum pum and who can ever forget the forgettable Hum Tum. So finally if Yash Raj films have tasted failure it basically for me means that the yash raj fans have had enough.
