JAGGA JASOOS

JAGGA JASOOS : is a 2017 Indian mystery musical adventure romantic comedy film written and directed by Anurag Basu starring Ranbir Kapoor,Katrina Kaif,Saswata Chatterjee,Saurabh Shukla

PLOT: Jagga (Ranbir Kapoor) is orphaned at birth and grows up in a hospital. He develops a bond with a patient, Badol Bagchi (Saswata Chatterjee), who adopts him. Jagga stammers and Bagchi teaches him that he can be fluent if he sings instead of talking. In a mysterious turn of events, Bagchi admits Jagga in a boarding school and leaves for an important mission under Kishan (Saurabh Shukla). Jagga develops a detective bent of mind and starts solving small cases in an around his school. During one such case, he comes across Shruti Sengupta (Katrina Kaif) and both become good friends. When Jagga learns that his father is no more, he decides to find out the truth and asks Shruti to help. Whether Jagga is able to put all his grey cells to use in order to expose the wrongdoers is what forms the rest of the film.

PERFORMANCES: Ranbir gets totally into the skin of his character and tries to bring something new this time as well. His stammering goes a bit into the unreal zone but he showcases his singing side very well. His sincere act is one of the big reasons why the film is bearable. Katrina Kaif looks lovely and ably compliments Ranbir. She also raises laughs with her goofiness which works well. Saswata Chatterjee is very adorable and delivers a fine performance. Saurabh Shukla is strictly okay and doesn’t make use of his full potential

MUSIC : composed by Pritam.Being a musical, has less of dialogues and more of songs. It is difficult to remember each and every track as there are close to 20-30 songs.However ‘Galti Se Mistake’,'ullu ka pattha' stand out for its picturization and quirky dance moves. ‘Khaana Khaake’ is also very catchy.

This film pays tribute to Tintin and Feluda,to the World Cinema.

The plot is engaging.Ravi Varman’s cinematography is very eye catching. The film has been shot in some great locations and the lens man has captured them beautifully.But the problem is the length of movie.

Over all, Jagga Jasoos is good film & must watch for all ages.
