When Emily Dickinson wrote “The center desires what it desires,” it hit dwelling for many people. Like Dickinson stated, human needs and fixations are sometimes past rationale and reasoning. JioCinema’s newest authentic, Jo Tera Hai Wo Mera Hai, is predicated on the identical idea. The movie tells the story of a person referred to as Mitesh (Amit Sial), who has had his coronary heart set on Utsav, a beautiful Bungalow in Mumbai, for years. Like a love-struck teenager, he retains scrolling by way of pictures of the villa on his cellphone, daydreams about it, and would not thoughts holding up site visitors simply to get a second to admire the villa in its full glory.
The one impediment that stands in the best way of his childhood dream home is Govinda (Paresh Rawal), the perpetually cranky proprietor of Utsav, who pelts undesirable guests away and stays along with his family assist on the villa. He’s properly conscious of the place’s magnetism and may’t stand the sight of brokers hovering over him, ready for him to comply with promote the place. A discover outdoors his villa reads “Trespassers will likely be killed”. Govinda, at all times seen in a khadi kurta along with his cloudy hair, is a troublesome nut to crack.
Nonetheless, when Mitesh’s obsession takes over, he decides to make his method into Govinda’s tightly wound life. His concept is to comply with the outdated man round, strategically construct a relationship with him, win his belief, and finally persuade or con (no matter fits higher in the meanwhile) him into freely giving the villa.
What follows subsequent is a collection of comical efforts at fulfilling this tough mission. Mitesh is able to go to any extent for the villa, even when meaning coping with harmful criminals or lacking his child’s celebration for it. Being a person of vice, who lies by way of his tooth, gambles and cheats, this is not precisely a short lived shift of morals for him.
Sial’s portrayal of Mitesh is spectacular and retains the temper of the movie gentle. From his expressions and physique language to his comedian timing, Sial has aced the function. He even manages to carry a contact of innocence to Mitesh, who’s in any other case a poster boy of flaws.
Nonetheless, it was Paresh Rawal who stole the present for me. The veteran actor has as soon as once more delivered a stellar efficiency, including to his numerous portfolio of roles. His character’s crankiness, insecurities, and idiosyncrasies resonate by way of the display screen. In a scene, he will get suspicious of Mitesh’s intention and but chooses to disregard it due to the undivided consideration he’s getting after ages.
Sadly, nevertheless, the screenplay provides Rawal and Sial a really restricted room to shine. Whereas the actors made essentially the most of what was given to them, the movie stops far wanting utilising them to their fullest potential. I might have cherished the movie to discover Govinda’s loneliness and contact upon his recollections along with his deceased son, who is continually spoken of within the movie.
Jo Tera Hai Wo Mera Hai primarily tries to point out the omnipresence of greed throughout age, class, or gender. Even with its comical strategy, it succeeds in establishing how greed usually results in one digging their very own grave. Virtually all characters within the film harbour greed for one thing. For some it is cash and belongings, for others it’s lust and companionship.
Whereas Jo Tera Hai Woh Mera Hai makes an trustworthy try at exhibiting the depths of greed, it suffers from an excessively simplistic tone that glosses over the harsher realities of the world. Had it not sugarcoated the portrayal and tried to satirise as a substitute, the movie would not have felt like a preachy, bedtime story concerning the immorality of greed.
Raj Trivedi’s movie may very well be a great choose for when you find yourself on the lookout for one thing light-hearted and simplistic. Its classes in morality may go well with a youthful viewers, however in case you are on the lookout for one thing with just a little extra emotional depth, and even simply all-out laughs, we recommend you skip this one.
Score: 6/10
