Not a good movie
jones_family531 January 2007
Because it is from India, it makes up for the really bad cgi horrible rip off of Gulliver's travels and lots of roars. Not worth the price I paid. It was a rip off. Even the kids wont enjoy this one. I bought it in China for a dollar. I want my dollar back. The only benefit is being able to mock it mystery science theater 3000 style. I didn't think it was possible to find a movie worse than cabin boy, but this is it. It is two hours of my life that I want back... But then again, if I were drunk this might actually be funny. It does have it's random rock video moments. The mermaid is just ridiculous. You could blind someone with that beard! The plot from power rangers would be considered advanced compared to this.

Stretched with stress
invertifyer11 April 2019
They can't even copy a script brilliantly. Ridiculously stretched poor dialogs, poor music and background score. Javed joffrey and other's over acting and poor execution by director.

GR8 Piece of Entertainment
coolzain_me3 November 2007
j2m2 is an excellent movie with great special effects and excellent storyline basically it kinda copies "The adventures of Gulliver" but still as all the Indian movies copy some movies or the other e.x (kyunki main copies liar liar) (TATHASTU copies JOHN Q) and (partner copies hitch) so this movie has somewhat the same plot, the actors taken in the movie weren't that big, but the movie was made nicely, it used great VFX and great Cinematography, so please whoever didn't watch the movie please watch it as it is a great piece of film making by the bollywood film industry, and the actor JAVED JAFFERY has done great work in this movie, he was really entertaining, and JHAMUNDA was scary too

Needs the right lenses to appreciate
Sachin_Chavan17 March 2021
The low rating this movie has got says it hasn't been seen for what it is. Try seeing it as: 1. A children's film (a dwindling genre); 2. An Indianised fairy tale (a dead genre), and 3. A lovely musical.

It is made by well-meaning people with hearts in the right place. It's underlying message on freedom and human rights has to be perceived and understood. The choreographed dances and songs are top-notch. The dialogues, especially for Jaffrey are intelligently written. And the actor aces this role which is a perfect fit for his personality and talents.

I dare say this will become a cult film in decades to come. Wish there were some young (children) reviewers here to evaluate it.

This movie deserved better
vasudhastarway9 August 2021
The CGI in this movie was ahead of its time. The music was unlike anything found in a kid's movie. Anyone with an ear for good indian and erstern fusion music will love the songs. Despite having lot of moments which will not be digested easily by adults this is a very artistically made film. I am not understanding why the rating is so low.

J2M2
This is an adaptation of Gulliver's Travels with some Desi touch. Don't know how some people are giving negative reviews for this. Using of such technology at that time is commendable. Things look a bit realistic and that has to be appreciated. Story is good, its well adapted. Chamunda is scary, that acting is amazing by Joy Fernandez. Javed Jafferi is fairly good. But it is Manav Kaul who steals the show.

This is my childhood favourite and really don't understand how this movie is getting some negative reviews.

great movie as per 2003 standard
aashwinsingh-4130318 July 2022
This movie is best not because it has bad cgi and all but because it was watchable with child mindset.. when i was a child i used to watch this film on television and honestly i enjoyed every moment of this movie, not even oone time i get bored of this. And still recently i watched this movie again..and damn my childhood memories come..its really better than most of today's movie.. i really felt bad when i see it was flop.

I watched it 1st time when i was very young i loved it watching again again as just to watch it...but after growing up i watch this movie coz it shows how kindness give a lot of pain initially but at the end its only you who Kept the world EVERGREEN... No doubt that time technology was not that good but the production is still quite attractive....

Absolutely love this movie
jaslyncockriel2 January 2023
I have loved this movie since I was a kid I'm now 22 and rewatched and it's still just as good today as it was in 2007 when I first watched it. Great kids movie 10/10 would recommend. I love the music I even burned a cd as a child to listen in the car. Being a child listening to Bollywood music in the middle of Kentucky I definitely got ALOT of weird looks and a lot of judgments but I never cared. This movie made me genuinely happy and I'm so happy I got to grow up with this film! Can't wait to show this movie to my children one day! Jack black copied this movie in the movie gulivers travels !!

Changed my life

Warning: Spoilers
This masterpiece of cinema changed my life forever I love the engaging plot and stunning visuals and helped me win over my lover on our first date 10/10 would recommend for solo viewing and couples watching. Ps I blinked for 1 second and god started spinning flowers and talking about a giant protector, simply the most engaging and entertaining piece of media and definitely one of the best movies of all time with visuals on par with movies such as the new avengers films truly shocking. Thank you jajantram mamantram for changing my life, helping me find love, changing my perception of cinema and challenging all known standards of movies and creating the single greatest movie ever.
