Simply Perfect
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Jalaibee is story of two gangsters who are trying to sort out things between them and their former boss. Meanwhile their ex boss is kidnapped and they got linked with it. That's brief story. Director tried to make it suspense thriller but did not succeed well in this regard some twist were unpredictable though.humor was bored and did not shine. Acting was bad over all except sajid hassan and adnan jaffar. character development and script was badly handled.so many loopholes in story. Characters were not even using common sense. direction failed miserably in some scenes director failed to portray what he actually wanted to for instance where danish killed jagga that scene was badly written and executed. Rabeeka failed to leave impression of good acting she seemed artificial it could had been much more better if there was a good script.I gave it 5 because as Pakistani film industry is quite new. This is kind of film which is not remembered even after few hours.
So i saw this movie last night and let me start by saying i love movies and also very Proud of all the progress Pakistani cinema is making but still there is nothing good that i can say about this movie. Getting right to it these are the problems i think this movie had:There is absolutely no character development. Sound mixing and editing of the movie is horrible. Casting is bad especially Danish Taimoor (he is no way near fit for the character of Billu,and there is something very weird about his voice and dialog delivery).Character of Dara and Bugga are the only ones that seemed to fit perfectly other than that the casting was just bad.The only good thing about this movie are the few aerial scenes of Islamabad which looked stunning. The story had the potential to be great but somewhere along the line the the editor and the sound mixer and director and whoever did the screenplay of the movie screwed it up BIG Time!All in all this is the only movie that i truly regret watching in all my life. Very bad, childish film making. I want my 850 bucks back.
Jalaibee was a fun experience, a film that had everything. A crime caper interweaving around three different stories that meet at the climax. More of a pulp fiction style but considerably less gritty. It had humour action and a perfect ending with a very wise message that short cut in life leads to ruin. I am not going to give any further details however I would thoroughly recommend this movie if you want to be entertained. The visuals were stunning and with great camera work. The background score was great and so were the few songs in the movie. The only negatives were the little wooden acting by Wiqar Ali a Khan which is understandable as his first language is not Urdu and he mainly spoke in English.
After seeing the OK 2013 Lollywood Action Thriller Waar,I was pleased to hear that another mainstream Lollywood film was being made.With the last news that I had read about the movie being that it was having facing serious cash troubles during production,I was shocked to receive a call from a friend a few days ago,who revealed to me that Jalaibee was going to come out in 3 days time!,which led to me getting ready to take a bite of Jalaibee.The plot:Getting caught up with owing a large debt to underworld gang The Unit,best friends Billu and Bugga decide that the only way they can repay their debt is if they enter the world of dirty money themselves.Whilst the pals casts their eyes across the city for cash,a recent election has led to talks of a coalition running the country,which leads to a powerful underworld leader deciding to kidnap a leading politician,in order to get his hands on some sweet cash. View on the film:Despite Pakistan being an extremely conservative (big C) country,the screenplay by writer/director Yasir Jaswal takes a rather daring approach in unleashing a bleak Neo-Noir world,with Jaswal delving into the dirty political games of the country's leaders,and the burning hot strip clubs,brothels and gambling houses that the country's underworld leaders plan their next attacks.Named after the popular Middle Eastern sweet Jalebi,Jaswal delivers each twist in the plot with a precise manner,which leads to a superb,down-beat ending.Starting the title with the criminal and politician threads at a distance,Jaswal gradually criss-crosses the two sides,as money & power stars to seep in and corrupt both worlds.For Billu and Bugga rise to power in the underworld,director Yasir Jaswal and cinematographer Mo Azmi use neon reds and smoking yellows to create a simmering murky atmosphere.Blending into Billu & Bugga's underworld,Jaswal and Azmi give the decaying political world an elegant crystal clarity,which gets punctured with expertly handled,ultra-stylised slow motion flashes across the screen,which strike the movies darkest moments with a real force.Entering the title as a loyal team, Danish Taimoor and Ali Safina both give great performances as Billu and Bugga,with Taimoor and Safina giving the relationship a comedic playfulness which gradually fractures,as Billu and Bugga find cold hard cash to sink them both into a ruthless Neo-Noir world.Striding across the screen in a slick suit, Wiqar Ali Khan gives a very good performance as Ali,thanks to Khan peeling away Ali's ladies' man charms,to reveal a brutal Film Noir loner,who has his eyes permanently fixed on gaining power,as Ali takes a bite out of a tongue-twisting piece of Jalaibee.
