Oh yeah...JBJ is bad.
Commentor Vidooshak was right about the "intention" though... but mentioning this monstrosity in the same breath as Pyaasa will make Dutt-saab's ashes turn cold.
He intended to make something new, even tried to emulate the experimental/art-noveau-yet-commercial form of cinema which has been used by his mentor (Mani) with great effect... but I think his immaturity shows through...like imitation "tunde-ke-kababs".
The dialogue is dense, assiduously assinine - the actors are obviously trying to say something "deep" but hey we paid money to watch this crap...so we ain't exact "gifted" are we? ;)
The songs have got nothing to do with him or anyone else I berated in the review. Shankar-Ehsann-Loy cannot go wrong...period. And Gulzar has penned the lyrics...never thought he knew so much Punjabi.

tunde ke kabab?
are u related to Niki by chance??
and yep, i was only provoking u by mentioning Pyaasa. sorry.
still can't believe Shaad Ali went wrong. i trusted him more than SEL and Gulzar to come up with winners...
i am as obsessed with JBJ-- and i haven't even seen it yet!
