Cinematographer Ravi Varman\u2019s work is out-of-this-world. Every frame is a visual feast, every shot a painting. Having said that, there remains a dark question hovering over this stubbornly light and airy musical.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98154 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/greattelangaana.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Ranbir-Kapoor-Salman-Khan-.jpg\" alt=\"Jagga Jasoos is another Tube Light\" width=\"620\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Would the audience accept a film where every conversation is a song? And not very pleasant ones at that? Pritam\u2019s music is, with no polite way of putting it, annoying and awful. He needs to understand there is a difference between cool casualness and outright laziness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ranbir and Katrina seem to be braving their way through a blizzard of conversational songs sung in some of the most scenic locations. But instead of breezing through the epic journey, they seem to be wheezing across what looks like a grand slog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98156 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/greattelangaana.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/salman-ranbir-1.jpg\" alt=\"Jagga Jasoos is another Tube Light\" width=\"700\" height=\"415\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I love the smell of fresh air that the film exudes. The outdoors are so refreshing. I want to immediately take a holiday in those locations. But as we all know Man (and Woman) cannot survive on fresh air alone. I can see Ranbir and Katrina struggling and stumbling through a journey that promises to be as painful for them, as it is for us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sorry, but going by the restless, angry audience response this could have been Ranbir\u2019s own Tubelight, but then he already had his in Bombay Velvet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The film everyone, including Rishi Kapoor, waited to watch for three years.
