Watch out for Fardeen Khan!

Celina Jaitley and Fardeen Khan in JanasheenJanasheen released in Dubai on November 24 and being a great fan of Fardeen Khan, I was there to watch it.

I had a lot of hopes, but knew it wouldn't be that great. I was correct.

Janasheen falters in several aspects. There is hardly a script to speak of. Besides, the film lacks an interesting climax, which is so essential for a thriller, as Janasheen was projected to be. Continuity jerks, awful picturisation and a miserable performance by heroine Celina Jaitley add to the misery.

Fardeen-Celina's musical outing


But the film redeems itself through its wonderful musical score. And Fardeen Khan. He is one actor to watch out for as he gets better and better with each film.

Director Feroz Khan has made sure to add all the masala he could -- great locales, scantily-dressed women and comedy.

Perhaps the front-benchers will enjoy the film.

But Janasheen will face tough competition with Karan Johar's production, Kal Ho Naa Ho, which releases on November 27.

Verdict: Watch the film just for Fardeen and the music.
