These Pictures Will Tell You All You Need To Know About Nanu Ki Jaanu
Abhay Deol and Patralekha's latest venture Nanu Ki Jaanu has already released, and film which is being touted as a horror comedy can boast of a stellar star cast. Director Faraz Haider who has previously directed India's first horror comedy War Chhod Na Yaar has tried to bring an interesting premise to the table where the ghost of Patralekha is in love with the character of Abhay Deol, Nanu. While the premise sounds interesting the lousy execution and over-crowded subplots render the film to be absolutely terrible.
We tried using words, but somehow they failed to convey the disaster, so used pictures instead.
The film has a fairly decent beginning and the initial bit, even if mindless, manages to create certain engaging moments. However, as the film progresses, the ridiculousness of it keeps increasing ultimately culminating into a climax that would leave you exasperated and utterly unconvinced.
The sub plots are simply too many and the director is utterly confused about what the film really wants to say. It oscillates between horror, comedy, urban drama and a thriller and crams in too many subplots. It has to say a little about a change of heart, give you a faint feeling of the life in Noida and the cornucopia of characters living there, a bordering on ridiculous romantic angle and fleeting nuggets of many other things that director thought was topical and crammed the screenplay.
Abhay Deol tries to be sincere in his part and has the highest screen presence and the female lead Patralekha is barely there in the film.
With an unpalatable khichdi of horror, comedy, thriller, drama and romance, the film lands itself our facepalm category.
