Movie Review: Jai Veeru

Jai (Fardeen) is a cop pretending to be a motor mechanic. Veeru (Kunal) is a car thief with delusions of grandeur. Jai wears black jackets and blue shirts. Veeru splashes out on dreadlocks and gangsta rap.

The boys sing drunken songs in nightclubs and loll on Bangkok beaches,coming on to babes. Anjana Sukhani comes out of the ocean in a tight blue two-piece costume. Diya Mirza gets to play demure in a nurse’s uniform. And then arrives the villain of the piece,Arbaaz Khan,who roams around with all his wicked secrets in a Black Book which he keeps on the back seat of his car.

Then they all get together and go looking for a plot. At one point,Veeru shoots Jai right in the middle of the forehead. The camera zooms in,and you see the hole,and the blood pouring out. Post-interval,Jai opens his eyes. Not even a bullet in the head can kill him.

It’s that kind of film.
