![]() ![]() Overall, JBJ offers very little in the way of a storyline. He also appears in the dance competition to lend his support to a rather over long sequence. Amitabh Bachchan is wasted and only appears every time they need to break the monotony of the main characters. Despite both BD and LD having peripheral parts in the film - they both, in my eyes, walk away with the honours as the most entertaining pair on screen. Lara Dutta is amazing and really puts Priety Zinta in the shade with her performance. He plays both his characters very well, in particular the mummy's boy. Bobby Deol does a very good job considering that he is offered very little in the way of screen time. And by this I mean the introduction of the other two main characters (Bobby Deol and Lara Dutta) - this time in person rather than in the imaginary world of AB and PZ. ![]() And despite Abhishek's best efforts, you almost end up hating both the main characters, purely because the film has bored you senseless by the time proceedings really begin. ![]() The protagonists (Abhishek Bachchan and Priety Zinta) look unconvinced by their characters and the whole scenario. Fair enough the Director may have thought that he has come up with an ingenious idea, but sometimes certain ideas or thoughts are far better off staying within the confines of ones head, as they sound and look a lot better swirling around 'up there' than on a large screen. But the overall product is nothing short of being a complete disaster. The film has its good moments and some worthy performances. But JBJ will be a massive wake up call for all concerned. I've never known such loyalty towards a production house. Yashraj Films know they have a set audience that will turn up and watch whatever they put in the cinemas.
