Jogira Sara Ra Ra Review: Even Nawazuddin's Pitch-Perfect Comic Timing Can't Help This Mediocre Comedy Float

Jogira Sara Ra Ra Review: Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Neha Sharma's recently released comic-drama is set in Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow, where Nawaz is set to essay the role of a wedding planner residing in a family of six women. He then meets Dimple, who asks him to 'disarrange' her marriage which leads to a series of unfortunate and exaggerated events.

Plot:

The shoddy plotline of the story goes around a wedding planning meeting a street-smart girl at a wedding where they soon meet again under very unusual circumstances beginning with a series of errors with a fake kidnapping which ends up on a positive note like any other Bollywood comedy-drama.

Review:

The poor direction and writing of the film perfectly reflects through the screen which combines proper humor and chaos. The supporting actors in the film are a comic relief with their small yet comic dialogues where the off-tone chemistry between the lead actors is a downfall for the viewers to witness.

The film works in bits and pieces where the performances of all on the screen look real and powerful with Mahaakshay Chakraborty, Sanjay Mishra, and Rohit Chaudhary's supporting cast on board, apart from the jam-packed performances, the film has nothing to deliver in the long 121-minute duration, where the character of Nawaz and Neha Sharma is just running around in circles which does not do a good fit and showcases the mindless creativity of the writer.

What Works For The Film:

The only safe thing which works for the film is the performances of the lead and support characters. Each individual has managed to capture the attention of the viewer with their up-to-date comic timings which is the only interesting aspect of the film.

Jogira aka Nawazuddin Siddiqui's attempt at being a light-hearted, mainstream hero is improving with every role where he tries to instill life in his character with his perfect timings and effortless efforts. The narrative is dotted around several funny situations from time to time, and it is always a pleasure to witness Sanjay Mishra on the big screen where his powerstroke performance will make some parts of the film worth watching.

What Does Not:

The first half of the film takes a fast pace eventually where Nawaz's character thinks he is more clever than ever and tries to find solutions for Dimple i.e. Neha Sharma's character is like any other Bollywood hero, doing favors without any reason which is absurd and not required. With his small tactics and his famous dialogue 'Jogi Ka Jugad Kabhi Fail Nahi Hota' the film loses its touch in the first forty-five minutes where one will be chewing the same flavor throughout the film.

However, the exaggerated second-half where Nawaz and Neha Sharma still tries to find a solution to their issue will make the characters' voices irritating where the fresh content lacks and be clear visible. The tension rising with no powerful obstacles in the story is highly unrealistic in Uttar Pradesh's capital. Also, the low-budget song compositions with Nawaz's flop dancing steps make some scenes worse to witness on the big screen.

Performances:

Nawazuddin Siddiqui's character's clever references to his confidence to ace the task and his urge to make his demanding family happy, the girl he met a week ago happy, and his best friend happy, is perfectly portrayed by him indicating the actor is indeed a graduating star where he can be seen gradually taking the pace of a lead actor.

Neha Sharma comes across the film surprisingly well with her happy-to-go attitude as the actor has perfectly done justice to the uncanny script and has managed to pull off a role that can be compared to Kareena Kapoor Khan's 'Jab We Met' character.

Final Thoughts:

As the film was a family comedy-drama, the weak jokes could not save this film from being another flop added to the filmography of the lead characters. The screenplay of the film feels more like a village skit one is trying to pull off together where the protagonist is just arguing with the rest of the crew and trying to sum up the mess done by the writer with a weak screw.

There is a spark within every character where they want to outshine in their role, however, the meager and rather unreal situations are also a slap on their creativity and skill, where the direction and writing skills required to be tightened to ignite the scenes in a more interesting and desi manner.
