The Film: Yeh Hai Jalwa
Director: David Dhawan
Cast: Salman Khan and Amisha Patel
Score: 1/5

This no jalwa at all. David Dhawan the man who at one time rocked the box office has lost it all in this movie. His formula has failed to generate any interest. Many would have not even heard of this film or know that it is releases, somehow the movie has been kept so low profile. I guess even the makers know the outcome of the film and that’s why even they don’t expect anything much from this film. Even though you have big names like Salman and Amisha, repeatedly it is proved that "big names" do not guaranty quality entertainment.

Dhawan is good at lifting ideas from here and there. For YHJ he takes inspiration (now that’s a more better word!) movies like Trishul and Carbon Copy.

The story is about a Son (Salman Khan) who goes in search of his Father(Rishi Kapoor) and is surprised to see his father alive, happy and above all the richest man in U.K. He discovers that his father is happily settled with his Wife (Rati Agnihotri), Daughter (Rinke Khanna), Son (Master Ajay Nagrath) and Rishi Kapoor's father (Kader Khan). Their family runs smoothly till Salman Khan walks into their life.

Na hi fax, na hi xerox, na hi telex, na hi computer ki koi copy; main hoon apne papa ki carbon copy - goes the lyrics no one will admire. The music is below average while Amisha is only good for shaking her leg.

Salman is nothing great here but Rishi Kapoor is a winner here. Rest of the cast like Sanjay Dutt and Rinke Khanna have little here to prove.

Better stay away from this film if you respect your time.
