JAYANTABHAI KI LUV STORY ("VIVEK SHOW IN A LOST CAUSE")

Cast: Vivek Oberoi, Neha Sharma.

Director: Vinnil Markan

It is obvious that Vivek Oberoi is trying for a comeback, but Jayantabhai is definitely the wrong route!

Simran (Neha Sharma) comes to Mumbai to make it a big but from an unexpected turn of events ends up jobless. She starts falling for her neighbour Jayanta (Vivek Oberoi) is a “bhai” who wants to get out of “bhaigiri” start a “beer bar”. Things change when Alex Pandian (Nasser) enters the scene.

The film looks more like a collection of random footage rather than a movie. It lacks continuity and logic high time. In one scene where Neha is going for an interview it would be raining heavily and in the very next scene the sun is shining bright with not a drop of water on the road. Neha comes from an ordinary family yet has a party by the poolside in her village, she has all the best clothes and footwear in the world. There are plenty of such thoughtless scenes and goof ups. 

Unnecessary songs and characters make you tired and sleepy. You would have no idea what someone like Nasser is doing in the film considering the fact that his character is flimsy, shallow and silly. Though Neha is artificial in a few scenes she is sincere in her efforts and cute. You would like her chemistry with Vivek.

The only two things worth talking about the film are the nice Tapori dialogues and Vivek Oberoi. He has done a marvellous job and excels as Jayantabhai. But even his good performance is not enough to offset the flaws of a shabby script.  

I am giving a 2/5 for Jayantabhai ki Luv story. Do not waste your time on this one.
