basu takes all the goodwill he got from barfi and crafts one of the few actual musicals in bollywood. borrowing aesthetics of tintin and then smashing them into bengali culture to form a wholly unique film. this manages to do something interesting and unexpected almost every 30 seconds or so ??? whether it be a staggeringly well composed shot, a creative "song", or a narrative turn that noone expected, jagga jasoos is never content at being "by the numbers", which is simultaneously it's biggest positive and negative.
