Jab Harry Met Sejal movie review This Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma film is a dudWritten by Shubhra Gupta. New Delhi. Published August 5, 2. Jab Harry Met Sejal movie review The film comes off as a mix of Imtiaz Alis older films, in its flashes of Jab We Met, Tamasha and Love Aaj Kal. Jab Harry Met Sejal cast Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, Chandan Roy Sanyal Jab Harry Met Sejal director Imtiaz Ali. Jab Harry Met Sejal star rating 1. The title is smile inducing. We know instantly that the aim of Harry meeting Sejal is to kick start a romance between two unlikely individuals which is meant to grow gradually, skirting a curve here, ducking a bouncer there, till it locks in, into a glorious forever after. Imtiaz Alis latest come fall in love on the road journey, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma, touches those high points only very intermittently, making it a sadly missed opportunity given Alis propensity to create mood and perky dialogue, and the fact that SRK and Sharma have worked well together in their previous pairings, this should rightly have been a knock your socks off rom com. Basically, if the phrase Brett Ratners Hercules starring The Rock sounds like a fun movie to you, then youll get your moneys worth from the film.

And when they meet, nothing happens very slowly. Good Gujju girl Sejal is loud and clear about her rights, and lets Harry, the dissolute, raffish rolling stone, know whats what in no uncertain terms. But there really is nothing going on between them its just a lot of yakkity yak minus frisson. What we do get is a trip through beautiful European spots, with Harry and Sejal trying to find what they are looking for. The ring is, of course, just a metaphor. Both are, of course, searching for the other. What you need in such films with their flimsy one line plots, is the magic and mystery of love blossoming between two people. And full blown wonder. All in short supply in Jab Harry Met Sejal, which comes off as a same old mix of Alis older films, in its flashes of Jab We Met, Tamasha and Love Aaj Kal. Which leaves us searching too. For moments which show some spark between the two leads. Sweet si, sister type Sejal and the chalu, chalta hua, cheap Harry are much too fraternal with each other. We do see that fire, but all too briefly. And is this really how Gujju bens talk All ne and che Sharma is a game trier but rendered ineffective, and SRK fails his famed charm offensive, for the very first time the director has a lot to answer for. A still from Jab Harry Met Sejal. The songs come and go, and except perhaps for a couple, they dont really register, which is a let down too, because Ali has given us some absolutely fabulous songs which work by way of telling us more about the story, about the people singing those songs, about their motivations. The Full Yak Movie TrailerJab Harry Met Sejal movie review Sweet si, sistertype Sejal aka Anushka Sharma and the chalu, chaltahua, cheap Harry aka Shah Rukh Khan are much too. Theres also a wholly superfluous diversion involving a desi goon Sanyal whose only purpose seems to add length to the film. What is he doing here Finally, it comes down to counting the momentary pleasures of this disappointing film a bit of the sparring between Harry and Sejal, the breathless awareness that the other exists, and the realization that without the other, its simply not worth it. At this point in his career, Shah Rukh Khan is ripe for a great, old fashioned but modern day romance. This one is not it. For all the latest Entertainment News, download Indian Express App.
