She loves me, she loves me not..

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2012)

First of all,i found it rather funny, to Janardhan acquiring a name Jordan! How does it matter ? He remains the same ,uninhibited young guy, changing his hairdo's and dresses, according to the moods and the phases in his life. i, especially , disapproved of that huge mess of beard, and that funny topi, as if he is one sophisticated gazal singer.
Jordan's idol is Jim Morrison,but in this Hindi version of rock, i didn't feel any of the passion, or the lust, which is so synonymous with Morrison. Though Rehman has put in a good effort,one simply can not identify with this kind of a mix, as rock. Rock is rock, and Elvis or Michael were the embodiment of rock, standing the test of time. Rehman's music is like a bouquet of different attractive flowers, but it fails to make one integrated impact. Can any one remember the tunes or the words of the music score,except a very few ?
Is this also an unhappy ending love story ? Well, most of the part, both Jordan and Heer are totally confused as to the nature of their relationship, and the viewer does not get the feel of that craving.
i would say, frustration is the theme of this movie, where most of the characters are damn frustrated,over one thing or the other, be it Jai, or Jordan's mentor,or his audience,or even the press !
The script takes the support of Heer's progressive illness, retreating miraculously in between, and finally Heer succumbing to it, just to give that touch of the movie Love Story,from Hollywood, not Bollywood !
Basically, because of handling the love part on different levels, it has lost it's grip, and ends up without making any deep impact,or a truly tragic end ..
Though pleasing to the eyes due to different beautiful locations, this movie predictably falls short of all the expectations, and sadly, easily forgotten.
Ranbir has tried his level best, Nargis is no Julia Roberts, just another fresh face, with a mouth, wider than usual, and Shammi is sensitive in his cameo.
Lack of focus, and ambiguity of the plot line,has given a big blow to this movie. And with due respect to Rehmanji, i would still maintain, that he is an intelligent mixer,or should i say,remixer, for whom, the lyrics are absolutely secondary, or even they are meaningless mostly,to suit the tunes; That's why i would always bow my head to the lyricists and the musicians of yester years only !
See it once for curiosity, but don't get frustrated,if your expectations aren't fulfilled !
