Trailer Review

Jawaani Jaaneman

By Tahira Syall

Saif Ali Khan is back to doing what he does best that is playing an unconventional role in his upcoming romantic-comedy film ‘Jawaani Jaaneman’ directed by Nitin Kakkar. Alaya Furniturewalla the debutante, plays the character of Saif Ali Khan’s daughter.

The trailer shows that how a single 40-year-old man, Jazz (Saif Ali Khan) meets his 21-year-old daughter, Tia (Alaya F) for the first time who comes all the way from Amsterdam just to find her father who is in London. Later everyone gets to know that Alaya is pregnant and Saif Ali Khan becomes a grandfather in no time.

The character of the mother is played by Tabu which has been done very nicely. She plays the role of a hippie. The idea that we get by watching the trailer is how the single father who is always partying is not ready to take care of his daughter’s baby and how the father daughter relationship evolves with time and the love for his daughter and her unborn child increases.

The first half of the movie is full of laughter however the second part gets emotional as the story becomes a little heavy due to the situations that take place. Places in London have been beautifully shot which makes the audience travel to London. All the songs also have been composed nicely.

Saif will draw you into the movie, Alaya will keep you glued even when the pace of the film seems to get slow and Tabu will make you laugh till the end of the movie.
