Jawaani Jaaneman, which hit screens on January 31, is the latest victim of piracy website Tamilrockers.
Directed by Nitin Kakkar, Jawaani Jaaneman stars Saif Ali Khan, Kubbra Sait, Kumud Mishra, Farida Jalal and Chunky Panday. Tabu appears in an extended cameo as well.
Jawaani Jaaneman marks the Bollywood debut of Pooja Bedi’s daughter Alaya F.
Talking about Jawaani Jaaneman’s box office prospects, trade analyst Girish Johar said that he expects the film to open with a collection of Rs 3-4 crore. “With Jawaani Jaaneman, Saif Ali Khan is doing the kind of film in which he excels. His films Cocktail and Love Aaj Kal which had him playing a similar character did well. This is his kind of film. The trailer is promising, and the music is also being enjoyed thoroughly. It has Tabu in a pivotal role and marks Pooja Bedi’s daughter Alaya’s Bollywood debut. So, overall it looks like a well-mounted film,” he said.
The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5.
In her review, she wrote, “A little more consistency with the writing, and a re-upping of the fun-meter would have made Jawaani Jaaneman super. As it is, it is fun while it lasts.”
