Child may be the father of man, but when it comes to full blast Bollywood masala, Mimoh is nowhere near Mithun Chakrabarty. It’s not Jimmy aaja, rather Jimmy ja ja!
Everything about the film is awry, right from the script to performance, from music to presentation. Mimoh Chakraborty’s debut film Jimmy looks like a faded reflection of the movies in 1970s.
Mimoh Chakraborty shocks rather than entices with his plump look and wooden expressions – a striking contrast to his father, Mithun Chakraborty’s great histrionic skills. His dances are poorly choreographed and the thanda script, which had been lying in the cans, does all the harm to the lad’s first screen performance.
The film directed by Raj N C Sippy, appears to be a bad mixture of three different movies - Amitabh Bachchan`s Majboor, Abhishek Bachchan`s Bluffmaster and Suniel Shetty`s Khel.
The story line revolves around Jimmy (Mimoh), an automobile engineer by day and a DJ by night. One day, he learns that he has only a few days to live, as he is suffering from brain tumour. He is also steeped in debts that have to be paid off. So, he takes the blame of a murder, committed by someone else, and gets Rs 50 lakh for his troubles.
He feels that all his problems have ended, but he is attacked in jail. And then follows all the predictable sequences, which happen in an ill-made masala movie.
The look of the film is dated, loose and entirely lacking in style. The supporting cast is equally bad; they fail to support the movie. Zulfi Syed, Rahul Dev and newcomer actress Vivana should be forcibly given acting classes for this forgettable flick!
One star is more than enough for Jimmy.
