Review of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (2007) by Manav S — 16 Jun 2007
Directed by Shaad Ali Sahgal, with lush cinematography by Ayananka Bose, Jhoom seems at first like the silliest and slickest of trifles: boy meets girl, waiting for a delayed train. Complications. Song and dance. (Repeat.) Love.
But Mr. Sahgal is up to something here, deftly playing with the audience?s expectations of Bollywood storytelling. To reveal more would require a spoiler, so suffice it to say that Jhoom, laden with in-jokes, brims with confidence and the courage of its own loopy style.
