For past couple of months Bollywood saw a bleak scenario. Neither did any off beat release nor did any flick make it big on terms of entertainment. The previous week's release ‘13B' did a up good show across the multiplex audiences while here's ‘Jai Veeru' - An entertainer that falls between the lines of finesse and mediocre. Much distinctly to one's perceptions, Puneeth Sira strikes with a most unassailable bet of penning a commercial entertainer. Certainly, it's nice watching the same director who delivered a terrible directorial previously with ‘I - Proud to be an Indian'. Nevertheless, this transcendence doesn't drop any conclusions about terming ‘Jai Veeru' - as a top-notching entertainer. Bounded with bits and pieces of absurdities, it could be called a commendable flick if one drops out cognizance and enjoys watching it upon buckets of ducky bites and sips.

Two of Bollywood's hottest actors have just become the wildest partners - in - crime to ever hit the streets of Bombay!

Fardeen Khan and Kunal Khemu star in the hilarious saga of a cop, a crook and a beautiful friendship gone ...
... sour.

Once inseparable pals, Jai (Fardeen Khan) and Veeru (Kunal Khemu) find themselves on opposite sides of the law, each feeling betrayed by the other. In fact, the only person who hates them more then they hate each other is a ruthless gangster Tejpal (Arbaaz Khan), who want s to kill both of them and put them six feet under! Now, through a strange twist of fate, Jai and Veeru are to run - together. With a little luck, the boys might just get out of this one alive if they don't kill each other first!

Well, the film looks like a mixture of many previously released Hollywood and Bollywood flicks. A hot-footed cop and thief on the tracks of pulling down the mafia lord isn't something new to the audience. But commercial masalas are always cooking up. On the narration, the pace drops down and is extremely filled with weirdness that's more illustrious during the initial 30 mins. On the pars, the film gears up prior to intermission and is brimmed with an unexpected twist.

Getting on with performance, it's Kunal Khemu eclipsing everyone on the screens. He's so smart and overwhelms with his acting skills in all panoramas. Be it the sequences where he's frizzled with flummoxed ambience of striking bullet straight on Fardeen's forehead or the fun and frolic he gets along with, he's quite impressive.

Fardeen's show is hunky-dory of its kind and he could've tried something better. Arbaaz Khan as an antagonist hasn't got to do anything much with the breathtaking stunts except the clichéd motor-boat ride during final chase. Dia Mizra and Anjana seems to have been included in the film just for their glamour quotient. Dia's characterization with an unbelievable twist in the penultimate sequence is something that's easily predictable (similar to Aishwarya's role in ‘Khakee'). Rajesh Khattar does his best but doesn't win appreciations. Puneeth can be blamed for a middling characterization.

Bappa Lahri's musical score has a decent appeal, but choreographies could've much been much better. They don't exceed our expectations and ditto to cinematography. With the second half of the film with action-filled adventures, the man behind the lens could've tried on better locales.
