Yeh Hai Jalwa...

Movie Review: Yeh Hai Jalwa
Starring:
Salman Khan, Amisha, Rishi Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Rinke Khanna, Sharad Kapoor and Rati
                  Agnihotri.
Producer:
Ketan Desai
Director:
David Dhawan
Genre:
Emotional comedy drama
          

Director David Dhawan has lost his magic touch. YHJ starring Salman Khan and Amisha Patel proves that sans Govinda, the podgy

filmmaker is at a loss for making an entertainer. The film is a boring senseless story of a son trying to find his presumed-dead father,played by an over-the-hill Rishi Kapoor.
    
The film revolves around a happy-go-lucky guy, Raju (Salman Khan), whose life takes a twist when he discovers that he is the illegitimate son of UK-based businessman, Rajesh Mittal (Rishi Kapoor). All this while he thought his father was dead but when he learns of his existence, Raju sets off to London to claim his rightful place in the Mittal family. Meanwhile, Rajesh Mittal is a happily married man with wife Smita (Rati Agnihotri) and daughter Rinkie (Rinkie Khanna) and Raju''s

unexpected visit leads to a series of problems in the Mittal household. While Raju is busy trying to make a place for himself in his adamant father''s heart, he also finds a soul mate in Sonia (Amisha Patel), with whom he does bump and grind whenever he gets free time. And though he is heartbroken to discover his father has another picture perfect family, he resolves to stay on, get close with his stepfamily and gain legitimacy.
  
Sadly for producer Ketan Desai who has a lot at stake with this film, YHJ   lacks everything required top make it a hit film. Salman Khan looks disinterested through the film and his continuity is awful. In

some scenes, he sports long hair while in a few he is bald, unsuccessfully wearing a cap to hide his pate. Also, he makes such weird faces in name of comedy that he falls flat on his ageing face. Amisha looks good but has no role; she’s only there to dance on the streets of London. Sanjay Dutt is wasted in a special appearance, so are Rinke Khanna, Sharad Kapoor and Rati Agnihotri. Rishi Kapoor is good as the father but cannot do much to lift this sinking ship. Technically, Himmesh Reshammiya’s music is awful. Excepting the title track, which is so-so, the rest of the songs are rubbish. The cinematography is mediocre; the dialogues are crass and the direction lacks the finesse and spontaneity of previous Dhawan movies. Overall, YHJ has neither the charm for the

classes nor the thrills for the masses. The film is sure to be rejected by the audience, who’ll find no Jalwa in this disastrous Salman Khan caper.
