Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

souravslove 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.

DG_Boy Emraan Hashmi at his best.Nice movie.Nice acting by Hashmi.Nice direction by Kunal deshmukh.Nice and beautiful songs.Loved the songs all songs.The story is interesting of Hasmi as a bookie.Stuck in a triange of sorts between the woman he loves and his addiction to make a quick buck. Good editing.Awesome screenplay.Nicely produced by tbe Bhatts.The movie shows us that greed can kill.Just see this movie I believe you will like this.Emraan Hasmi should do more movies like this.But don't forget the end will make you cry.And the sequel also is awesome jannat 2.Overall you will like this movie for the brilliant performance by Emraan Hashmi and the story of this movie.

bobbysing The Bhatts always are the first on making movies on the most controversial and current topics. With the IPL fever on, they now return with a movie based on the plot of betting and match fixing in cricket along with an elaborate angle of an intense love affair.The film starts promisingly and ends brilliantly but in the mid it loses pace and interest as the narration stresses more on the love angle than on the interesting betting plot. The first one hour of the movie is exciting and highly enjoyable. Watching it you feel like seeing something new and an unexplored plot. The betting & match fixing scenes in the first half are brilliantly directed by the debutant director Kunal Deshmukh. And when you are expecting more of similar stuff coming later the director changes tracks and takes on the love angle as his main theme.If the film would have been strictly on the betting and fixing plot then it was a confirm bigger Hit. But unfortunately there is more of sacrifice and love story angle which is quite expected and becomes tiring after a certain point. Though director shows promise in his first movie but he should have stuck to one plot only.Imraan Hashmi is competent and gives a good performance. It can be counted as one of his finest. Sonal Chauhan looks fresh and ravishing. She has got the talent which will become polished with more of her movies. Jawed Sheikh as the DON shows class and he shines bright in his role. A very unexpected act is given by Samir Kochhar as the police officer. He is excellent in his small part and is an actor to watch for.Bhatts definitely have a good ear for music and lyrics. Their movies always have some good numbers with meaningful lyrics. Jannat also has got hit music by Pritam. The songs don't interrupt the narration and have got the soothing melodies. That's the reason audio companies fought with each other for the music rights of this movie.If you are a cricket fan and expecting a lot of cricket, betting and match fixing in the movie then you might be taken back. The movie has the main plot of betting but the story revolves more around the match fixer and his girlfriend. That's the main drawback of the movie. The other weak point is that the background of Imraan Hashmi and Sonal are not explained in details. Sonal just leaves India for a live in relation with Imraan and there is no one in her family who has to be informed. Thought the love proposal scenes are highly enjoyable but after the intermission you feel the overdose of the affair angle.As per their tradition Bhatts this time follow a similar plot as in "Two For The Money" (2005) featuring Al Pacino. But this time its only an inspiration and not a version. The script also gets inspired by the real life "Coach Murder" incident in the last world cup.One of the highlight of "Jannat" is its climax, which is unexpected and has a shock for the viewers. After witnessing the climax sequence you feel that the film is good enough for a one time watch. As it has a new plot, good performances and soothing music.

nabeelsaad As it has been said in the media,this movie is not your regular hashmi-flick (which either end up being corny or/and extremely boring).I went in to watch the movie with very low expectations but was surprised with the the first half.It had a nice and enjoyable plot and i especially liked the opening card game (me being a big time card enthusiast).The second half more or less fell apart with all the emotions flying in.It suffers from what i call "The Soap Opera mentality" where every small thing is made a very big deal of.Emran Hashmi was extremely believable as the grey-charactered high profile match fixer. His speaking style, i felt somehow, encapsulated the apprehensiveness yet decisiveness of a fixer. I would say this performance by him was his best,second only to one in Gangster. Vipin Sharma(Arjun's dad) was rather flat while delivering his dialogs and so did the emotionless Sonal Chauhan. The one performance i was bowled over by in this movie was of Javed Shaikh(especially the weight in his voice).Another let down in the movie was for the ones among us who wanted more of insider-story from the match-fixing scenario. There, the movie lacked material.it ended up more as a love story rather than a match-fixing story(which quite a few of us were hoping for).I would rate this movie a 8/10, a definite watch if you have got the time and can bear the second half that gets all draggy.
