Jazbaa - movie review

Jazbaa movie review

Sanjay Gupta's characters are shown as the separated families, a single mother, a separated mother whose daughter has been murdered, a single cop who suddenly crops up from anywhere for the single-mother-lawyer whose daughter has been kidnapped.

John Day is a thriller from the producers of the 2008 acclaimed thriller A Wednesday.

John Day - movie review...

Directed by Ahishor Solomon,John Day is lifted from the 2002 Spanish film, La Caja 507 (Box507). It begins with teenage boy impressing his girlfriend by driving into dense forest, and then taking her into an abandoned estate. She is impressed, but that’s the last time we see her and the next scene is her parents carrying out her final rituals and laying her body to peace. What would have been a taut thriller, the film goes haywire as the screenplay loosens its pace and at times it is frustratingly slow. John Day(Naseeruddin Shah) is a bank manager, and a happy family man with his wife (Shernaz Patel) and a teenage daughter. This young girl, after lying to her parents, goes off on a vacation with her boyfriend. The boy wants to be different, and he doesn ....
