[Jaana - Let 's Fall In Love Full Movie Download Free Mp4
Virginie Fayad
Suhaan and Piya fall in love in college and elope. However, he kept his marriage a secret to further his career as a movie star and when his career hits a low, he returns home to find out that she has left him. She does not answer his calls or letters, and he soon receives a divorce notice in the mail.
Suhaan and Bonney hatch a plan to get Agastya and Piya together so that Suhaan does not need to pay alimony to Piya and Agastya can get the girl of his dreams. Suhaan accompanies Agastya to New York to help Agastya win Piya over. They rent an apartment opposite Piya's and watch her every move using telescopes, binoculars, and surveillance techniques. Using a headset, Suhaan feeds Agastya lines to woo Piya with and eventually succeeds in getting Piya and Agastya together.
One night, Suhaan finds out Piya has a baby girl, Suhaan's daughter. He realizes that she left him since she did not want her and the baby to ruin Suhaan's film career. Suhaan realizes his mistake and tries to make amends and start a new life with Piya and his daughter, Suhaani. Unfortunately, before he can act, Piya gets engaged to Agastya.
It later emerges that Piya's brother, Vishal (Nawwab Shah), had been hiding letters that Suhaan wrote to her and was responsible for initiating the divorce process. Agastya realizes that Piya is still in love with Suhaan and not him; so, he reveals the truth and tells her to be with Suhaan. Piya flies back to India where Suhaan is trying to find work as a small-time actor. They express their mutual love, reuniting their broken family.
A few years later, Agastya is on a NASA Space Shuttle and initiates a video conference with Suhaan and Piya (on Suhaan's birthday). He introduces them to his new girlfriend who looks strikingly like Piya.
The music for the film was released on 8 September 2006.[4] The music is composed by Anu Malik and includes a few playback singers forming the former contestants of Indian Idol. Lyrics are penned by Gulzar. According to the Indian trade website Box Office India, with around 1,250,000 units sold, this film's soundtrack album was the year's eighth highest-selling.[5]
Pranab Kapadia, the UK distributor of Jaan-E-Mann said "Jaan-E-Mann's figures have picked up dramatically in Britain. Although the film grossed a mere 18,000 on its opening day, the film has experienced a remarkable upswing, grossing 40,000 on Monday and 60,000 on Tuesday. The audience and critics reception has been overwhelming."[8]
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 3.5 out of 5, saying "On the whole, JAAN-E-MANN balances humor and emotions beautifully. In fact, it's a BIG film in all respects -- right from its cast to the extravagant sets to the lavish making, besides, of course, unadulterated entertainment it has to offer. At the box-office, the Diwali and Idd holidays will prove bountiful for the film and add to the big returns. Business-wise, JAAN-E-MANN should fare best at multiplexes and also at major centres, besides Overseas. But its business at comparatively smaller centres, where masala films dominate, is bound to be affected by DON's presence. However, if the strong word of mouth catches on, the business at smaller centres will add to its booty."[9] Poonam Joshi of BBC.com gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, writing "Jaan-E-mann simultaneously parodies the worst elements of Hindi cinema, while exulting in the best that Bollywood has to offer, making for an unexpectedly original and entertaining film."[10] Raja Sen of Rediff.com gave the film 3 out of 5 stars stating "In the end, what echoes in your ears as you leave is Akki's thick, goofy he-he-he laugh. It's the best thing in the film."[11]
Thirty minutes and three songs later, I forgot all of that. On the surface, Jaan-E-Mann is a conventional story of a love triangle between Salman, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta. We all know how it goes: two boys meet a girl and fall in love with her, and in the end, one of them goes home empty-handed.
But here, things are not quite according to norm. Suhaan (Salman) already has the girl (Preity) but they get divorced. Suhaan is a down-on-his-luck actor, who is trying to find a way to get out of his alimony payments. Enter Agastya Rao (Akshay). Agastya is a nerd who has carried a torch for Preity since college. When Suhaan realises that getting his ex-wife remarried is the easiest way to get out of paying alimony, an elaborate plot ensues to help Agastya woo her. Of course, all forms of misunderstandings, awkward situations and drama occur along the way.
None of this is stuff we haven't seen before, of course. But it is how director Shirish Kunder embraces the clich that makes this movie refreshing. Shirish includes nearly every Bollywood convention in the movie, and kicks it up a notch higher. And it works.
I really didn't really care about the story as much as I cared about the gags. And that brings me to what doesn't work in this film. Sometimes, it feels that the story was constructed later, after they had worked out all the jokes. It's a shame really because one wonders how great the movie could have been had it been scripted well. Don't expect to find yourself emotionally invested in any of these characters. Character development is minimal, and the only one that comes across as likeable is Agastya (Akshay). In fact, you willl know who finally gets the girl pretty early in the film.
Akshay has the best part. He plays the college nerd brilliantly, completely relishing a change in image. Later, he plays a working man in a way that makes it easy to believe that he was the college nerd everyone picked on. Detailed touches like his goofy laugh and shy demeanor add to the film.
I wish Shirish, who edited Main Hoon Na before he turned director, edited his own film better. Jaan-E-Mann slows down towards the end, and could have been chopped down by a good 20 minutes. But as a first-time director, he does a great job. He uses fantasy to depict what's going on in his characters' heads well. In fact, sometimes I felt I was watching a play!
I came out of the theatre feeling satisfied. I didn't think Jaan-E-Mann was a fantastic movie, or even memorable. But it is enjoyable, funny and entertaining -- exactly what I was looking for in a Diwali big release.
