Critic Review

‘Jawani Jaaneman’, made under the direction of Nitin Kakkar, is a story of changing standards of relationships in society. You can call it a youth-centric film. To justify the modern form of the relationship seen in this film, the director has shown a sense of choosing a foreign background with indigenous characters.

Story: 40-year-old Jaswinder Singh aka Jazz (Saif Ali Khan) is Dilfenk, a runaway from the commitments. He considers marriage, children and his responsibility as the biggest obstacle to his freedom. This is the reason why despite being parents and brother-in-law, he remains alone. Jazz, a broker, spends a lot of time in the club drinking alcohol and spending nights with new girls. He is happy in every way in his life, but then comes a 21-year-old girl named Tia (Alaya Furniturewala) in his life. Like the other girls, he wants to flirt with Tia as well but is lost when she learns that Tia is his daughter and is pregnant without marriage. Will he once again revive Jazz’s past as he tries to get rid of Tia to escape the responsibility? The way he ran away from the responsibility of becoming a father, will he now turn his back on his daughter and her future child? To know this, you have to watch the film.

Review: The story of Nitin Kakkar, who has directed films like ‘Filmistan’ and ‘Friends’, is modern but there is newness in it. They go straight to the main point of the story without spending time setting up the characters. The story runs fast in the first half, but the story dulls after the interval in the second half. However, the arrival of new characters brings some freshness. The film manages to laugh in many parts. The climax seems predictable, but thankfully it does not have melodrama. The characters are seen flowing in the flow of the story without being confused about right and wrong. There are many composers in the film, but the music has become average.

Saif Ali Khan’s swag, body language, acting, energy, and emotion make Jazz’s character memorable. There is no doubt that he seems perfect in such urban characters. In this role, he introduces himself to be a capable actor. This is Alaaya Furniturewala’s first film, but she has lived her role very smoothly and beautifully. She has all the possibilities of a good actress. Tabu entertains in her small role, but a strong actress like he should have got more screen space. Kubra Set has strong acted as Saif’s friend Riya. Kumud Mishra has done a good job in the supporting characters. Artists like Chunky Pandey, Farida Jalal are doing fine.

Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet talk about their new series Laid, and some of the horrors of dating as millennials.
Imagine a scenario where anyone and everyone you have ever been intimate with begins to die one by one. Is it a curse? If yes, then who is cursed? These are questions that Stephanie Hsu‘s Ruby battles with in the new zany comedy, Laid. Ahead of the show’s release, Stephanie and co-star Zosia Mamet spoke exclusively with HT about their roles, the show’s unique premise, and the horrors of dating as millennials.

Stephanie Hsu on her character’s flawed morality

Laid, created by Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna, is the story of Ruby (Stephanie Hsu), who discovers that all her sexual partners are dying one by one, and she must warn them. Helping her in this unique quest is her best friend AJ (Zosia). The fun thing about Laid is that the protagonists are not the usual likeable characters. “She is totally an anti-hero of our story. I really love that,” says Stephanie, referring to Ruby’s moral greyness. “I am not a perfect person and I love playing flawed characters. But it was difficult. The creators told me that she is a total narcissist. But narcissists don’t think they are one, so I had to figure out a way to love her. For me, playing Ruby was about getting into her psychology and finding the innocent part of her – which is that she just wants love,” the actor adds.

While sitcoms usually add the best friend as the voice of reason trope, Laid diverges from that, with AJ even zanier and more morally ambiguous than Ruby. Talking about playing such a colourful character, Zosia Mamet says, “When you play not-so-likable or zany characters, people don’t believe they are that way. I don’t think AJ wakes up every morning and thinks, ‘I am absolutely crazy’. It’s about trusting the writing and finding an organic way into these characters to make them seem grounded, real, and relatable.”

Stephanie, Zosia reveal the worst gifts they received from partners

In Laid, Ruby gives the gift of death to the men she is with, even if that is inadvertent. Ask the women about the worst ‘gift’ a partner has ever given them, and the discussions veer into the unusual horrors of modern-day dating. “I got a vintage wooden duck decoy from someone. It was broken, and I thought, ‘What does this say about our relationship?’. They didn’t know me well enough to know if I’d want this but also that they gave me something old and ailing,” Zosia says with a laugh.
