JaI vIrU

Jai Viru is the story of two friends who find themselves on opposite site of the law. Fate steers Veeru (Kunal Khemu), a car stealing conman into meeting Jai (Fardeen Khan) who saves him from the wrath of goons in a pub.

They become fast friends and Veeru convinces Jai into his dubious business of theft. Soon mistrust ensues between the thick friends when Jai’s secret unveils, and Veer discovers that the former is in fact an undercover agent out to nab the infamous Tejpal (Arbaaz Khan) who Veeru works for.

Further, Veeru accidentally shoots Jai, and his intentions are misunderstood. An already betrayed and heartbroken Veeru flees the country not only from his former comrade but from Tejpal as well who needs Veeru’s diary containing volatile information.

The movie repels innovation and novelty and sends the audience rushing for popcorn within ten minutes of boredom. Fardeen Khan does a forced, lifeless act though his girlfriend Dia Mirza brightens the screen with her fresh looks and also redeems her character into an interesting twist in the climax.

Arbaz Khan looks utterly bored himself and the only sincere performance is delivered by Kuna, who still does not rescue audience from fretting for the interval to come and give a breather. The movie then hops around the mainstream plot in an attempt to be a package deal but one has to wait for the drab of a movie to end and salvage one’s sense of life and joy.

Directed by Puneet Sira, music by Bappa Lahiri and lyrics by Sameer and Omer Inayat.
