Bobby Jasoos movie review: Bobby Jasoos has a weak script, but Vidya Balan saves the day!
by
Bobby is a curious cat by nature. Her ambition is to be a full time detective and open her own agency. Unfortunately her abba and extended family don't share the same sentiment. During the course of one such jasoosi she encounters Khan (Kiran Kumar) who gives her a series of tasks to trace some missing girls with strange birthmarks. In return she's offered big money! Using different ideas and getups she manages to find the girls, but unknowingly gets dragged into a situation that isn't what it seemed to be. Along the way she also manages to find love in her foe turned friend TV journalist Tasavur
Vidya plays Bobby with full candor and sincerity. Her ability to switch from one emotion to the other in a jiffy is remarkable. Zarina Wahab, Supriya Pathak lend color and able support to the ensemble.
Ali Fazal looks good and despite his odd pairing with Vidya they manage to show some chemistry in the playful scenes. Arjan Bajwa is earnest while Kiran Kumar despite his sketchy role succeeds in impressing.
The issue with the film is that it has a lot to offer, but it fails to make a cohesive effort to give its story a direction.
The teasers and promos gave away all her looks, so what we are left with is the basic premise of her solving a case that takes us to a sorry anticlimax.
The romantic track with her and Ali puts a brake to the pace and wears you out.
By the time we reach the climax, the revelation is such a big let down that you wonder if this was worth all those dress up gags!
We give it three out of five stars.
