A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Spoiler alert.. You will want to spend some serious time and money to find the writers and the director of this abomination and have them executed for inflicting this violently painful collection of dialogs, scenes and music. I mean the reasons why I could hang on for the whole movie, is two fold..1) I liked the idea of visually filtering out the "real Mumbai" with some cross screen tint; and,2) I've never written a review before, on a movie, so I thought I should warn people of this, as a public service. I had to get through the whole movie, so that I could keep my enthusiasm to write this review.So enjoy! And share the hate!

Firstly, I acknowledge that film is not journalism, it carries no burden to show the right prevail or the evil, neither is it under any moral obligation to take sides and show one as wrong.Despite all that however, the ending of the film removes the veil from the hidden motives behind it and settled a lot of my confusions that went through my head throughout the film. The ending revealed which way it was aimed to head towards. Coming to the point, I sensed the agenda being forwarded, in a subtle way of course, of promoting (1) mob justice, (2) and a some sort of extra-judicial, brutal punishment for rapists.A film, or literary support for such a idea is the last thing that a country like India needs to combat these issues. I fully understand that rape, sexual assaults and harassment are amongst the major issues facing India, but eradicating any does not require for the society itself to resort to savagery. This is not how the Western societies of our age have progressed and developed.A step like this would only make room for people to settle personal scores and hinder a proper process being carried to ensure fitting punishments are meted out to respective crimes (although, I agree that the the judicial systems of many countries need to improve in order to ensure swift justice). A clear example that I come to remember right now is of a man whose penis was cut of by an angry mob after he was accused of attempting to rape a girl. There are so many questions for a case like this. Certainly, it is dangerous, carries the risk of an innocent being punished by an enraged crowd and would hinder the progress of your society through the common man.Now coming to the film itself, it is good and engaging in parts but at the same time the film is very confusing in parts and the purpose behind it all done by Shabana Azmi is very illogical. The whole case and the courtroom drama is childish to say the least.

Can't say much. I was focused on the law and order. In how this is Aish's comeback after maternity leave. Irrfan K's movie, and they made it cool.I will break down the things in some segments. First, casts. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Irrfan Khan. Good point. My intention was Irrfan, who ever regret watching his movies? Furthermore, we got Aish at her best form. I love her. She's dazzling. She's that hot, as always. Some major actors like Jackie Shroff and Shabana Azmi was good in their part, especially the last name appears. Second, story. It is good, but do not have a bold reason to show. Whether it is an agony of a mother whom her child has been abused (to death) or simply talking about rape and murder. It just blundering some. Third, added value. I think it'll be more tactical movie, in how Shabana Azmi took a major part to the film. Even, mini romance between Aish and Irrfan unintentionally developed, but it is just a miss.And yeah. This is my review about Jazbaa. It is just do not have a clear intention, whether it wants to show about rape and murder case, or revenge, or law and order. We have various movies like Jolly LLB in Law and Order form. No body killed Jessica, even, Rahasya would make great case of murder.It is just... a waste of time, but Irffan K never fail us (or it is just me?).Anyway, that's it.

Aishwarya Rai's comeback movie, featuring Irrfan and Shabana Aazmi, and directed by Sanjay Gupta. Not a great movie, but, I can't say about minus points. The length of the movie is perfect. The pace is good. Every second of the movie is engaging. Story is not new, but, then also it's enjoyable. Aishwarya gives as per her role. As she has given the performance which was acceptable in those days, but now a days it looks like overacting somehow. Though she looks good. Shabana and Atul Kulkarni are perfectly suitable for the role. Jackie Shroff and Sidhhant Kapoor play cameo roles. One of the biggest plus point is dialogues. And especially those, which were delivered by Irrfan. No doubt, he is tremendous. He is funny too in some of the scenes. His eyes are mesmerizing. He is one of the best actors of the decade. Direction is good. Film looks like a greenish or yellowish painting. Cinematography is good, but, in some parts, it is little bit of shaky. On the whole, definitely a one time watch movie, for Irrfan and one liners. Though, Aishwarya's fans can go too. "Mohabbat hai isiliye jaane diya, zid hoti, to baahon me hoti!"
