When Emily Dickinson wrote “The center desires what it desires,” it hit residence for many people. Like Dickinson mentioned, human wishes and fixations are sometimes past rationale and reasoning. JioCinema’s newest unique, Jo Tera Hai Wo Mera Hai, relies on the identical idea. The movie tells the story of a person known as Mitesh (Amit Sial), who has had his coronary heart set on Utsav, a beautiful Bungalow in Mumbai, for years. Like a love-struck teenager, he retains scrolling by means of pictures of the villa on his cellphone, daydreams about it, and would not thoughts holding up visitors simply to get a second to admire the villa in its full glory.
The one impediment that stands in the best way of his childhood dream home is Govinda (Paresh Rawal), the perpetually cranky proprietor of Utsav, who pelts undesirable guests away and stays along with his family assist on the villa. He’s effectively conscious of the place’s magnetism and may’t stand the sight of brokers hovering over him, ready for him to comply with promote the place. A discover exterior his villa reads “Trespassers can be killed”. Govinda, all the time seen in a khadi kurta along with his cloudy hair, is a tricky nut to crack.
Nonetheless, when Mitesh’s obsession takes over, he decides to make his means into Govinda’s tightly wound life. His thought is to comply with the previous man round, strategically construct a relationship with him, win his belief, and in the end persuade or con (no matter fits higher for the time being) him into making a gift of the villa.
What follows subsequent is a sequence of comical efforts at fulfilling this tough mission. Mitesh is able to go to any extent for the villa, even when which means coping with harmful criminals or lacking his child’s celebration for it. Being a person of vice, who lies by means of his tooth, gambles and cheats, this is not precisely a short lived shift of morals for him.
Sial’s portrayal of Mitesh is spectacular and retains the temper of the movie mild. From his expressions and physique language to his comedian timing, Sial has aced the position. He even manages to carry a contact of innocence to Mitesh, who’s in any other case a poster boy of flaws.
Nonetheless, it was Paresh Rawal who stole the present for me. The veteran actor has as soon as once more delivered a stellar efficiency, including to his various portfolio of roles. His character’s crankiness, insecurities, and idiosyncrasies resonate by means of the display screen. In a scene, he will get suspicious of Mitesh’s intention and but chooses to disregard it due to the undivided consideration he’s getting after ages.
Sadly, nevertheless, the screenplay offers Rawal and Sial a really restricted room to shine. Whereas the actors made probably the most of what was given to them, the movie stops far wanting utilising them to their fullest potential. I might have cherished the movie to discover Govinda’s loneliness and contact upon his reminiscences along with his deceased son, who is continually spoken of within the movie.
Jo Tera Hai Wo Mera Hai basically tries to indicate the omnipresence of greed throughout age, class, or gender. Even with its comical method, it succeeds in establishing how greed usually results in one digging their very own grave. Nearly all characters within the film harbour greed for one thing. For some it is cash and belongings, for others it’s lust and companionship.
Whereas Jo Tera Hai Woh Mera Hai makes an sincere try at exhibiting the depths of greed, it suffers from an excessively simplistic tone that glosses over the harsher realities of the world. Had it not sugarcoated the portrayal and tried to satirise as an alternative, the movie would not have felt like a preachy, bedtime story in regards to the immorality of greed.
Raj Trivedi’s movie could possibly be a great decide for when you’re in search of one thing light-hearted and simplistic. Its classes in morality would possibly swimsuit a youthful viewers, however if you’re in search of one thing with a bit of extra emotional depth, and even simply all-out laughs, we advise you skip this one.
Score: 6/10
