Movie Review : Jaane Hoga Kya

Producer:Alok Shrivastava
Director:Glenn-Ankush
Cast:Aftab Shivdasani, Bipasha Basu, Preeti Jhangiani, Rahul Dev, Paresh Rawal, Tinu Anand, Maria Goretti
Music:Nikhil-Vinay, Sajid-Wajid

‘Jaane Hoga Kya’ finally sees the light of the day. Touted as a sci-fi about human cloning, the story is a novel attempt in Bollywood. There is no denying that the film has a strong script. But it falters on other accounts. Firstly Aftab is not the right choice to carry such a heavy weighted role on his shoulder, secondly the execution is not as taut as it is expected for a film as such and thirdly the late arrival of the film, which has marred the interest in the minds of the viewers. Also lack of hype about the release is a set back for the film. Director by debutant duo Glen-Ankush the film bears some resemblance to the Chinese film called ‘Dna Clone’.

Siddharth Sardesai (Aftab Shivdasani) is a scientist from Indian Medical Research center and is a student of Guru Dr. Krishnan (Paresh Rawal). His ambition is to create human clones in the science lab. He believes the possibility of the mission will take the world away by storm and will benefit humans. Though he has been experimenting for some time, he is still to attain success. He had to compromise his colleague and friend in the process. However such kind of experimentation is not without issues. Inspector Rathod (Rahul Dev) disapproves whatever Siddharth is doing. His project gets halted for permission being denied to him to execute the experiment further. Aditi (Bipasha Basu) his girlfriend tries to rebuild his aspirations. She promises him some help through her father Mr Chopra (Tinu Anand) an industrialist with some financial aid to carry on with his work. Siddharth after much persuasion agrees to the offer.
 
With the capitation he builds his indigenous lab in an old burnt mill and carries on with his experimentation. Inspector Rathod smelling something fishy on Siddharth’s sudden disappearance starts tracking him down. Siddharth doesn’t have a way out and he starts cloning himself. He succeeds but in mayhem he misplaces his clone. Siddharth finds himself behind the bars for assault a girl (Maria Goretti). It doesn’t take long for him to realise that it’s the clone who is doing it all. But he doesn’t have a way to prove his point, as nobody believes him. The clone wants to take the life of his creator Siddharth. He starts playing with Dr. Krishnan’s daughter Suchitra (Preeti Jhangiani) and kills Dr. Krishnan. Siddharth is held captive for the act. The path to his freedom is not easy. He has to destruct his own creation to prove himself.

The premise is unexplored and this is the best part about the enterprise. Also some well-executed scenes perk up the progress. Along side there are also some facts that sound implausible. Another factor is that the clone appears like a robot with superhuman quality more than a clone. Technically the film is sound and directors Glen and Ankush deserve credit for it. But they fail to strike with the weak content. Cinematography is good but the music is nothing to write about.

Aftab renders a complex role and fails to impress. He is a miscast for the role of a scientist.  Bipasha and Preeti passes muster. Paresh Rawal and Rahul Dev are apt. Maria Goretti, Tinnu Anand, Zarina Wahab and Sanjay Narvekar support ably.

Owing to the lack of promotion, the film is likely to get lost and miss out on its favor at the box office. The film is otherwise worth a watch due to its novel concept.
