Lyrics : Kumaar, Nauman Javed & Nilesh Mishra

• Jashnn is a film that firmly illustrates the importance of being earnest. Young Adhyayan Suman may not have the screen presence and the star charisma to carry a film forward, but he does have an earnestness that shines through his boy-next-door looks. And it is this sincerity and grit that invests the film with a raw appeal, despite its predictable storyline and its run-of-the-mill relationships. And when he has Shahana Goswami for support, rest assured, even run-of-the-mill becomes watchable.
• How many times have you seen elder sister slaving it out in bed to support her spoilt younger brother? Umpteen. Yet, despite having whimpered and sobbed in so many masala films, this brother and sister duo do not evoke a sense of deja vu. Simply because the emotions are real, the anguish is raw and the conflict naked.
• Elder sis, Shahana chooses to become the mistress of a wealthy business man (Humayun Saeed) in order to provide a decent, upper middle class life for herself and her brother. But she's no doormat, our doughty vixen. She hollers drunkenly at her benefactor, clamours for marriage and claws away at his insults, but only until it isn't `pehli tareeq'. Because, pragmatism demands she pipes down on the first of every month, before the bills start pouring in and the payments have to be made. All this, while junior chases dreams of becoming a rock star and spends aimless hours jamming with his boy band in a decrepit garage. Occasionally, he loses his cool, when sis makes a fool of herself before their benefactor and asks him to apologise, for the moolah to flow. Trouble brews when he falls in love with the biz tycoon's little sister (Anjana Sukhani) and finds his dream dying in the face of stark and brutal reality. Time for a descent into hell, before the phoenix to rise....
• Predictable, didn't we say. But hey, Jashnn isn't just a story with a lot of heart. It's told with in a heartwarming way too, with moments that touch you with their naked pain. Watch Adhyayan trying to steal a woman's purse in a pub to pay his bills or scribble a sorry note in the tycoon's office; and hear Shahana mumble about marriage and commitment to an unresponsive lover or have her brother hold a mirror to her: powerful moments, memorable moments. The film scores mostly in the brother-sister relationship and the romantic track between Adhyayan and Anjana does pale into insignificance before it. Shahana pitches in another power-packed performance after Rock On, even as Humayun Saeed makes an interesting debut as the cold and brutal biz honcho. Ironically, the audio track isn't as strong as the usual Bhatt Inc score which always boasts of chartbusters.
• Watch it for its vintage appeal: it reminds you of the unadulterated emotional interplay of Mahesh Bhatt's cinema, not so long ago. Come back, Mahesh, it's been a long sabbatical.
