I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Absolutely Brilliant!

The first must-see film of the year.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Jannat - one of the best works of Emraan Hashmi. This movie shows the madness , boundless passions about love , money and ambitions. The songs are cult classics. Sonal acted nicely in the short role she got in the movie. Emraan acted flawlessly and brilliantly , and most of the time effortlessly in the movie. Started the movie with an open mindset but when I finished it , it still kept an impression in the mind. At the end, a must watch for all who loves to love , who loves the madness and who dreams about life.

I have already seen the Hollywood version (Lord of War) why would I want to waste my time in a poor copy? Even in Bollywood, we've seen so many better film with a similar storyline. I can't even believe it's rated highly at all nor that it made all that money at the box office. Most of the scenes are borderline vomit inducing where people either overact their scenes (Emraan Hashmi included) or just plain standing there reading their lines instead of emoting. The newbie girl (an Amrita Rao clone) who plays Zoya needs to go back to the drawing board and learn acting first instead of just voguing for the camera and wearing a ton of makeup. Bollywood has truly gone to the dogs in a world where films like this are lauding and given special treatment at the box office.

Emraan – In terms of the shades, the role had immense potential to unleash the true talent in an actor and do what "Naam" did for Sanjay Dutt. Having said that, a confident performance here. Sonal Chauhan –Barring a few plastic moments, her performance is not too bad for a first-timer. The svelte figurine, if chooses wisely can survive in Bollywood. And very addictive smile.Sameer Kochhar – This actor is too handsome hunk to be a police officer. And why was he munching all the time? Vishal Malhotra – there was no value addition of this role to the movie per se'. When the apartment is raided, why does it scare the living daylights of him? And later he jumps in to be a partner in major crime? Bad characterisation!Vipin Sharma –Probably owing to lack of screen time, the character seems unwarranted. Perhaps hangover of TPZ.Jawaid Shaikh - I wonder if it is the actor or the writing department who should take blame here for turning it into a character role. Have we forgotten Paresh Rawal in "Naam"? BTW even the one-way street dialogue from "Naam" is reprised here. Perhaps the weakest villain from Bhatt's camp. Songs as usual from the house of Bhatt's do bear the trademark stamp over it and posses repeat value.Kunal holds the reigns well for the first timer. By another couple of rounds, time will tell.The promos set a different expectation bar altogether in the audience's mind. Cricket though infused into the storyline is not integral to it and hence it would be safe to say that justice was "not" done to the subject.The last 30-minutes could have been easily trimmed to give it a slick finish. The climax was definitely long-winded and practically even the blind can see it coming.PS: The dig at Sidhu.. I agree too!

With an unexpected start, and a rather unexpected-but-touchy end, this movie was one great ride.I rushed to the cinema hoping to buy the evening Bhootnath show, which was "house full"...so "i had no choice and in desperation of not wanting to waste my journey i decided to pass my time with Jannat"...I wish I could take my words back...because it proved ironical! Mahesh Bhatt showed us again that like the movie, he can be unexpected himself. With a brilliant and soothing soundtrack, a little-off-the-track acting, a different storyline, and a BRILLIANT TOUCHY ENDING, this movie just has it all.Critically speaking, there's nothing but the fact that it "did some Hindi-movie-ones" if u know what i mean...? i don't want to spoil the movie for first timers, but for those who've already seen it, i hope you understand...Otherwise, BRILLIANT! and unexpected from sum1 not-so-professional as Emraan...great work!!! Bhootnath can go later...8/10.Worth it.
