SaifAliKhan has never been a popular actor like Khan's or Kapoors or Kumars but has always experimented with a meatier roles. Jawaani Jaaneman acknowledges that fact

Jawaani Jaaneman tells the story of care-free Jazz (Saif Ali Khan) who is a womanizer and a commitment-phobic mid-aged guy. All hell breaks when Tia ( Alaya F) enters his life who turns out to be his daughter.

Directed by Nitin Kakkar, who made the hilarious Filmistaan and disappointing Mitron and The Notebook, comes back with Jawaani Jaaneman. The movie is a fun ride from the beginning of the film and the director gets to the crux without wasting much time. The first interaction between Saif and Alaya is simply superb while their chemistry evolves as the film progresses.

The second half is hilarious and few scenes (when Alaya meets the Saif's family, Tabu and Saif cursing each other) is outstanding. Music is just a pass (this one has two remakes which is disappointing). There is nothing much to talk about the cinematography and art direction but editing works as it keeps you engaged.

Jawaani Jaaneman is a performance driven film and it is Saif and Alaya who drives the film with impeccable acting. Saif Ali Khan has the perfect sense of comic timing (if you have liked him in Hum Tum and Salaam Namaste, you will love him). Alaya shows confident in her very first film and if she chooses good script, can go a long way. Tabu shines in a small role while Kumud Mishra, Farida Jalal and Kubbra Sait are dependable.

Overall, Jawaani Jaaneman is a fun-filled ride that will be enjoyable if you looking for some entertainment. Fun-Loving 3/5
