'Jhankaar Beats' is full of entertainment with a strong storyline. It is the story about six individuals and their lives. Screenplay and direction by Sujoy Ghosh is excellent.
Coming to story, Deep and Rishi work together in an advertising agency by the day. And the night is when they play in a club at the end of the street. Their life's sole ambition is to win 'Jhankaar Beats', a music competition that they have for the past two years lost.
Deep is happily married to Shanti. Shanti is, at the time of our film, 7 months pregnant. Life has never been this happy for Deep and Shanti. Except that there is one hitch. Deep's mother-in-law is coming to live with them to take care of Shanti during her pregnancy. Rishi, the quintessential brat, on the other hand is in the midst of a bitter divorce with Nicki. And right in the middle of Rishi's nasty divorce and Deep's nightmare with his ma-in-law, comes into their lives, a young man. Neel. Neel's biggest problem is that he is in love with a young girl called Preeti. And yet, he can't tell her about his love.
There are three problems the three guys have to deal with - win the contest, get the ad campaign and save their jobs and get Nicki back into Rishi's life. The climax is predictable, which ends on a happy note.
The acting, for the most part, is good. Juhi Chawla did a good job. She is fantastic. Her expressions and actions as Shanti are well timed and just perfect. Although her role isn’t long in the movie, she has a good role, and she really is pregnant during the film. Sanjay Suri, as Shanti’s husband, Deep, is brilliant. His acting is excellent also. Rahul Bose has great timing as the comedian, Rishi. Rinkie Khanna is average in her role as Nicki. Shayan Munshi does a good job as Neel. His performance is adequately refined and his dancing is good. The additional actors, including Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi, both have strong but short roles. Music by Vishal Shekhar is average.
