Jagga Jasoos (2017)
7/10
Basu breaks the storytelling norms!
18 July 2017
Anurag Basu dares to take a road that no director will think of and through this attempt he takes us on a journey worth remembering. "Jagga Jasoos" with its musical take on comedy opens a different genre for Indian audiences and gives them a detective to root for. The tracks taking the story forward are funny and groovy and numbers like "Unlucky", "Ramu Kaka", "Raita" keep your feet tapping, other short tracks too are tad brilliant and I wish Jagga album would have released with a full movie soundtrack. Ranbir gives a stellar performance as the goofy detective and has Tintin swag throughout. The movie could have been reduced short by 15-20minutes to make it a more memorable experience but the cinematography and strong visuals make you forget that too. I don't know what one has to do to make the collection ticking at box office if not this, I wish it was appreciated to the level it deserves.
