Well, well, well, it seems Bollywood is finally getting a little real estate-savvy! Hold onto your popcorn, folks, because weβre going on a wild ride through Mumbaiβs insane property market, all in the name of a charming old bungalow. So, letβs get down to it β hereβs Review Rani, your friendly neighbourhood Bollywood critic, ready to rip apart Raj Trivediβs latest flick, βJo Tera Hai Woh Mera Haiβ.
Our story revolves around a certain Mitesh (Amit Sial), who has been drooling over a particular bungalow since he was knee-high to a grasshopper. This isnβt just any bungalow, mind you, itβs one owned by a certain Govinda (Paresh Rawal), Bollywoodβs token βIβve been around since the dinosaursβ actor. So, what does our hero do? He hatches a plot as elaborate as a Karan Johar family drama to get his hands on that property!
Amit Sial plays the wannabe homeowner with the kind of desperation that makes you want to run a crowdfunding campaign for him. His scheming and plotting to wrestle the bungalow from Govinda is filled with more twists and turns than a rickshaw ride through Mumbaiβs gullies. And letβs not forget his tightrope walk between a nagging wife (Sonali Kulkarni), two brats, and a mistress (Sonnalli Seygall), whoβs hotter than a Mumbai summer.
Govinda, on the other hand, delivers his standard βannoying yet lovableβ act that weβve all seen before. His interactions with Mitesh are the filmβs saving grace, and boy, does this film need saving! The supporting cast, including Faisal Khan as a moneylender and Nitesh Pandey as a shady businessman, are the icing on this messy cake, adding some much-needed flavour to Miteshβs convoluted life.
The filmβs screenplay, written by Aditya Rawal and peppered with some spicy dialogues from Devang Tiwari and Amit Pradhan, is as chaotic as Mumbaiβs traffic. Yet, despite all the hustling and bustling, the film fails to pick up pace. Itβs like a slow local train that promises to take you on a thrilling journey but ends up stopping at every possible station.
βJo Tera Hai Woh Mera Haiβ is a lukewarm comedy about ambition, greed, and the terrifying realities of Mumbaiβs property market. Despite the promising premise and commendable performances from Amit Sial and Paresh Rawal, the film fails to pack a punch. Itβs like ordering a spicy biryani and getting bland pulao instead.
Raniβs Wrap-Up:
In a nutshell, βJo Tera Hai Woh Mera Haiβ is like a Bollywood masala film without the masala. Itβs worth a watch if youβre into real estate, or if you want to see Amit Sial desperately trying to cheat Paresh Rawal. Otherwise, youβre better off re-watching βHera Pheriβ for the hundredth time. π
