DareDevilKid Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 3.8/5 starsBobby lives in Mughalpura's tight, twisting lanes, supported by her adoring mother Zebo (Pathak), censured by her stern father, and criticized by her marriage-arranger aunt. Bobby's determined to crack cases, achieve her dreams, and make her family proud – but what happens when a rich stranger Anees Khan hires her to track young girls? And when she finds herself engaged to cocky TV star Tasavvur (Ali) – who wants her to reject him?"Bobby Jasoos" is a Hyderabadi pearl of a movie, worn with terrific aplomb by its star Vidya Balan. Playing the 30-year-old Bilquis or Bobby, who has no detective course but fearless passion, Vidya dazzles as Bobby Jasoos, tracking mysteries as a buck-toothed palmist, a dreadlocked sadhu, a hobbling fakir – suddenly distilled into a tongue- tied girl who discovers love.Post Kahaani, it is clear that roles are now written with Vidya Balan in mind. Her spirited performance in the title role justifies this decision. Vidya runs away with "Bobby Jasoos". Her effervescence rubs off on the proceedings and gives it an energy that drives the film. She is both the film's hero and heroine, performing with deft innocence, presenting Bobby like a breeze. But her leading man Tasavvur is also nailed by Ali Fazal, who captures the urge for a radical shift in lifestyle in keeping with his education, fluent English vocabulary, and promising career as a new presenter. Along the way he also effortlessly blends with the humor of getting engaged to madcap Bobby – and the sudden, delicate power of discovering love. Ali impresses with his acting while Arjan Bajwa, as local goonda Lala, impresses with his smoldering looks, soorma, and stubble, making Bajwa steamier than ever before.Besides the lead performers, the impressive list of supporting actors also lends gravitas to the colorful Hyderabadi canvas, which proves once again that casting good actors in bit roles pays off. Tanvi Azmi stands out in a small, sharp role as Bobby's tart-tongued khaala; Rajendra Gupta nails Bobby's disgruntled dad who's conflicted due to his conservative roots that clash with his paternal love; while Supriya Pathak shines as the doting Mother who perennially serves as a mediator between Bobby and her Dad while assuaging the simmering tension in the household. Even the jasoos' merry men, Shetty, Munna and Suhail, leaving a fine imprint upon the tale. Finally, it's a sheer delight to see Kiran Kumar back after ages and with the same delectable form of yore.Technically, too, "Bobby Jasoss" hits most of the right notes. The film clearly boasts a cinematographer (Vishal Sinha) who thinks, which is more than evident in the realism of the by-lanes, street vendors, and dingy apartments of Hyderabad depicted on screen. Shantanu Moitra's background score and musical numbers is unobtrusive yet pleasing. The editing by Hemal Kothari is good, but could have been better, as the second half of the movie tends to relax in some places when it could have been tauter. However, this is a minor flaw, in an otherwise, well- executed film.There are many fine things about "Bobby Jasoos" - a terrific lead performance, a great supporting cast, surprising attention to detail, and Hyderabad in full glory. Debutant Director, Samar Shaikh, impresses as he deftly balances the primary detective track with the personal travails of Vidya's character. An aspiring female detective in Hyderabad has her work cut out to be taken seriously, and the often bumbling but ever optimistic Bobby wins clients and hearts with equal ease. But the outright winner is the film's writing, the quality of which is not often seen in Bollywood today, and no more amount of praise would be too great for Sanyukta Chawla's screenplay and dialogues.The old-world charm of Hyderabad is ideal foil for the narrative. It is one of the lovely touches that give the film real texture. The authenticity of the setting, locations, and the flawlessly consistent diction of every major and minor character contribute in making the proceedings all the more engaging.Minor quibbles aside, "Bobby Jasoos" is a clever and joyful film. It's a light, breezy, and delightful caper with a lot of heart, and you root for both the film and its protagonist all the way till the end.
Tanay Chaudhari "Bobby Jasoos" is a comedy-suspense-drama that centers around Bilkis "Bobby" Ahmed(Vidya Balan), a late-20-something girl of a lower-middle class family who aspires to be a professional private detective. She faces several personal and professional hurdles in her endeavour, and thus, continues to fight her way through with the help of her friends – an internet cafe owner, a coffee house waiter and a TV crime- reporter(Ali Fazal). Bobby strike something big when a mystic middle- aged wealthy NRI(Kiran Kumar) turns up on her doorstep to figure the whereabouts of some individuals with just their names and physical identities, whom she does discover from nothing after much articulate labour and earns fat paychecks in return. However, Bobby senses something sinister all over. Would she be able to discover the truth about the man and his investigations? As one could spot, the film is pretty much straight and has very minimal level of plot-suspense to present. Its an age-old remedy that is given a new avatar and a new packaging.PLUSES- Balan is the backbone of the film, as simple as that. She has a tom- boyish charm and anger in her persona therefore, she plays through different disguises ably and effortlessly. Fazl is highly effective as the patro-phobic young man who is trying to shy away from all marriage proposals coming his way and strikes a friendship with Bobby as she is doing her job to find faults in his proposals. Other castings are good, too, however no one gets enough screen-time to be more than meager supporting-characters with the exception of Kiran Kumar. Make-up and Costume Design play a significant role throughout and give a film a stage-performance kind of touch at places. Also, the film's duration is less - a little more than 2 hours – i.e. before the film could actually become boring for some.MINUSES- There is definite lack of screenplay-work and which is the reason that there is no certain sequencing or flow of events in the film. This is the reason that in the first-half viewers don't enjoy it as much because they were always trying to find something to hold on to. Being Dia Mirza's debut production, there were not much expectations either. Although the direction (Samar Shaikh) did try hard but failed to hold the film compactly. The music(Shantanu Moitra) is unfortunately totally forgettable and the song sequences are not at all worth watching – with the exception of "Tu".VERDICT- Bobby Jasoos is an average-level film it offers nothing extraordinary. Still it's full of simple-ordinary stuff which makes it a light watch. Likable because of Balan, and any of her ardent admirer would rather find it much enjoyable than others. Watch if you really must - a 6/10.
binducherungath Bobby Jasoos, a film by Samar Shaikh, could have been another Vidya Balan hit with the very novel concept of a female detective, a very unconventional profession for a female to be in, but something is amiss which hasn't worked in its favour. Post 'The Dirty Picture' and 'Kahaani', Vidya Balan has set her own benchmarking level of performance quite high. Her 'Ghanchakkar' was super flop, and 'Shaadi ke Side Effects' could do only decent business. Bobby Jasoos probably faltered as far as the script is concerned; otherwise, its concept had all the elements of another blockbuster in Vidya's kitty. But yes, it is a movie, which prompts us to pursue our dreams irrespective of challenges. Bilkis Ahmed aka Bobby (Vidya Balan) is so passionate about proving her mettle as a detective against the wishes of her family. Only her mother Zebo (Supriya Pathak) supports her whereas father (Rajendra Gupta) and others at home are dead against her detective job. Her father has a conservative approach and he feels that the house shall not be run with the girl's earning. He also feels that Bobby is a disgrace to the family due to her profession. Zebo does bring smile to our face while she tries to defend Bobby and her detective activities.Bobby keeps trying her luck at G-Force detective agency in spite of facing rejections from the agency again and again. She starts her own detective agency after challenging the agency. She handles insipid cases like worried parents, suspicious spouses etc. A tea shop person Munna (Aakash Dahiya) does help her to get clients. She dons variety of looks viz. that of a beggar, palmist, bangle-seller, astrologer, peon, a TV producer etc. as part of her solving cases effortlessly. She approaches every case on the basis of her intuition and gut feeling and chooses strange paths to crack the same. Her familiarity with the streets of Mughalpura Mohalla of old Hyderabad fetches her a strange case from Anees Khan (Kiran Kumar) to find out two missing young girls with strange birthmarks, followed by search for a guy as well. She is paid hefty amount. Anees just wants Bobby to do her job without raising any question about his motive in looking out for these missing people. Bobby goes ahead following her mind and heart, but then, she starts doubting the motive of Anees behind his search for the girls. The story moves ahead from there. Indeed, suspense is maintained till the very end. Shetty (Prasad Barve), Munna, Sohail (Tejas Mahajan) act as perfect aides of Bobby Jasoos. They do add lot of comic elements to the plot. Ali Fazal as a TV anchor Tassavur Shaikh has given a very sweet performance. He is ambitious and does not want to settle down with girls of Mughalpura. And to escape from the marriage proposals brought to him by his father (Vinay Varma), he takes the help from Bobby to explore some stories about them so that he could conveniently deny those proposals. It is interesting to see Bobby and Tassavur together and how their relationship goes to the next level. There is a nice scene, where Bobby is guiding Tassavur over speaker/earphone set to speak to his father in regard to his disapproval to marry Bobby. Bobby's sister Noor (Benaf Dadachandji), Kausar Khaala (Tanvi Azmi) and Zarina Wahab as Afreen's (Afreen is Lala's love interest) Ammi have also added value to the movie through their presence. What events unfold in the lives of Bobby Jasoos? Lala (Arjan Bajwa) as a local gunda plays a significant part in the movie and what is that? Does Ali and Bobby come together? What is the motive of Anees Khan? How does Bobby explore the same? Is Bobby able to win her father's approval and love?Cinematographer Vishal Sinha has captured the hustle-bustle of Hyderabad, Charminar, the very aroma of Biriyani also very nicely. Hyderabad is reflected well through Bobby's accent. Vidya has really worked upon her Hyderabadi accent.
