Movie Review : Jodi No.1 (2001)

Producer: Time Films 
Director: David Dhawan 
Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Govinda, Twinkle Khanna, Monica Bedi
Music: Anand Raj Anand

It’s David Dhawan again, with his best-man Govinda accompanied by Sanjay Dutt and supported in the effort by Twinkle Khanna and Monica Bedi. This gang of five have once again taken the task upon them to make us laugh and very likely they have more than justified their efforts. Blessed are the people who make others laugh and these able bodied stars have done so with their gags which others, more serious, feel are very cheap and refuse to understand how difficult it is to create comedy, to bring laughter alive at a time when laughter is being stifled by the evil forces which are running rampant in society - cruel enemies of anything good, specially comedy in life.

The man who has worked really hard, worked knowing that his job is providing comedy in a class of his own and yet be different in every film he makes is, `DD’. David’s efforts to bring comedy should sure finds its way in some record book or the other. The way he goes on and on it wouldn’t be very long till you find his chubby face poping out of a record book.

Time Films International’s Jodi No.1 is one of the ‘crowd’ of comedies ‘DD’ made in which he is going all out to prove that you can’t stop comedy, that no power on earth can stop comedy, that the world needs comedy just as it needs oxygen to go on living a healthy life.

Jodi No.1 is an adventurous attempt at giving comedy a new twist at a time when comedy in Hindi films are being laughed at for their sheer buffoonery which many have started believing is comedy of the class of the great Charlie Chaplin, Raj Kapoor, Johnny Walker and Mehmood - and yet fail miserably - is jointly being produced by Dhirubhai Shah, Pravin Shah and Hasmukh Shah. Ashish Vidyarthi has delivered a good performance with respect to the characterization ably supported by Sayaji Shinde while Anupam Kher excels as the rich baron. The film has lyrics by Sudhakar Sharma which have been tuned by Himesh Reshamiya, a new talent, who has given of his best, knowing fully well that if he doesn't he will have to start his struggle all over again. Yunus Sazawal and Ikram Akhtar have written the screenplay and Rumi Jaffrey, the dialogue. Technically the film has no flawless with above average cinematography by K.S. Prakash Rao.

The film whose basic idea is to entertain people starved of comedy till their appetite keeps asking for more very much serves the purpose. If good clean entertainment is what you thrive for this is the film you should not miss, however a piece of advise is leave your senses home to really enjoy this film…anyway you don’t ever need sense or common sense to enjoy comedy, for absence of senses is what comedy is created of by people who have the senses to create it.
