Till the Hawayein promo came out, I had no excitement for JHMS. I love SRK, Anushka and Imtiaz Ali movies (most of them anyway) but I was like meh whatever. Bollywood doesn't excite me in general anymore unlike how I felt in the 90s & early 00s growing up. Anyway, that's not what the topic is about. So I had got my hopes up after the Hawayein promo and thought ok this film could be something special and then stupidly I read feedback on the movie this morning on Twitter & of course here. I've generally stopped looking up Bollywood reviews so may be this came up as quite a shocker though it's a norm for most people here(?!)...but what I couldn't understand is how people are DESPERATE to spread negativity on social media and by desperate, I mean writing the worst things on social media to make sure that their most hated celeb's film is brought down.
I assume Khan fans are all against each other and this is the norm? How disgusting isn't it? Seeing as though Bollywood is generally in quite a shit position, the mango people are using social media to dissuade people from going to the theatres, though mind you I don't know how much of this feedback on Twitter or even here is GENUINE?!
I went in to the cinema hall thinking once again a SRK film will disappoint as his recent films have done but actually it turned out to be a very refreshing rom-com! Like we BARELY have them anymore and when a decent one does come along, we bash it because...well I don't know why we bash it? For one, JHMS had no cringey scenes, the acting was genuinely brilliant and it was just a feel good love story with perhaps subtle complexities on surface. It does NOT have to be epic! It's a nice film, go watch it for yourself...I don't think SRK or Anushka hit a false note with this one. Yes, the second half does falter like most Imtiaz Ali films do including his classic JWM which goes through a slow phase without Geet.
I'd rate this movie above ADHM because the second half of that completely lost me. Cancer track out of nowhere because if Alizeh could not be with Ayan then she must be killed off *facepalm* ! JHMS doesn't try to be great but it's treatment is refreshing and it's worth a watch! I just don't get the OTT negativity!
It's DAY 1 of the movie's release - how do people jump to seal the fate so quickly and so HAPPILY? How sad is that!
P.S. I compared ADHM & JHMS mostly because they're in the 'love story'' genre & by two filmmakers who everyone seems to have a love-hate relationship with
