London, an overcrowded cafe, one table to share. Two strangers tell each other “how I met my fiancé” stories to kill time. Rikki met his fiance Anaida at the Ritz in Paris and Alvira met her prince charming Steve at Madame Tussauds

Really Surprised!
best movie i've ever seen.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
There can't be any movie worse than this one. This was the worst movie I have seen in my entire life.Went with cousins in theatre because they forced. Went into depression for few days.I mean how can someone make this kind of garbage.After this garbage, I promised myself that I won't go for any movie without getting the reviews.
Yash Chopra this banner has given several hits, many nonsense films have worked from their bannerSo here comes JBJ after the success of D:2 and average business of TRRPThe film brought Abhishek Bachchan(riding on the high of GURU that time) The usual Preity Zinta, useless Bobby and the trying hard to make a place for herself Lara DuttaPoor Bobby and Preity felt doing a YRF film will give them a hit hence they signed it But ??????The film became a turkey The film is a boring nonsense film you can sleep instead of watchingThe first half is monotonous, i watched it in the theatre and fell like sleeping, The film goes on and on with the fake stories and the endless bak bak by Abhi and PreitySecond half is better when the true identities are revealed but then except some funny scenes the film is again bad The dance competition though well handled is too long and the climax is crap And what was Amitabh doing in the film? dancing like a joker Even the characterization of Bobby as a nerd is forgotten in the dance competitionDirection by Shaad Ali is terrible, can't believe the same guy gave us SAATHIYA Music is okayAmongst actors Abhishek looks like a South Indian actor with that long oily hair and the beard and he tries very hard and does well in some scenes but irritates in many scenes Bobby Deol is bad in the first half, in fact you can't hear his lines properly in some scenes In 2nd half he is better but nothing great Lara Dutta emerges the best of the lot, does a great job and that brings us to Preity Preity who is called a sensible actress, can't believe she did such a crap film, she is the most irritating here Amongst rest Amitabh must stop doing his son a favour and monkeying around
This movie was a waste of money and time. Sure this movie has great settings, excellent costumes and great actors, but the story was restarted!!! It is so stupid how someone makes up they are engaged then so does the other one , then they both bring fake spouses and find out the truth and happily-ever after. AND WHAT THE HELL WAS AMITABH THINKING WHEN HE TOOK THIS ROLE??? I mean he pops out of no where every 10 minutes wearing a cheap ,dumb outfit and it has NOTHING to do with the movie. The movie was too long for a pointless story. The two 10-minute songs that are right next to each other was another dumb idea. Overall, this movie was so dumb, that i'd rather waste my time watching dead animals decay.
I saw Jhoom Barabar Jhoom while travelling in Rajasthan, in the Raj Mundir in Jaipur, which is, with some justification, described as the best cinema in Asia (and it certainly beats watching a film in a 'Multiplex' on a screen the size of a large TV in London).As the film ended and the huge audience of all ages rose, making its way into the grand, pretty foyer, I turned to an Indian man in his thirties next to me and asked him in Hindi if he liked it. He said he loved the songs, particularly the song of the title, which he thought would get even the most unlikely person in the cinema dancing in the aisles. Then he added,'But the the rest of the film is nonsense'.I certainly agree with him about the infectious song of the title, having badly hummed it often. However, I don't think the rest of the film is nonsense. What I believe many people mistake for nonsense is actually a playful, kitsch, knowingly referential film revolving around the desires and problems of self-mythology, and the power of Bollywood fantasy. The film is set in Waterloo station where a young Indian man and woman of Pakistani origin bump into each other and form an acquaintance while waiting for infamously late English trains. But their talk about themselves, we come to see, may not quite be so credible and ingenuous. Not only this but there is something magical in the air at Waterloo Station, for a wondering busker, Amitabh Bachan, looking like a sixties drop out, is somehow mysteriously involved in the lively plot.The two leads, Bachan's son Abishek, and Preity Zinta, make engaging leads and, alongside the wonderfully outrageous Laura Dutta and Bobby Deol handle the film's sense of fun and comedy vigorously (though perhaps the nods to the famous Bachan/Deol partnership in Sholay goes too far).Another thing about Jhoon Barabar Jhoon is its sure sense of place, something few Indian films set in Britain can claim. Preity Zinta's Alvira is an NRI and the film makes a playful but genuine attempt to engage with the London Indian diaspora.
