In fact, the way the film begins with P Ravi Shankar's introduction, you expect the film to be fast-paced and slick. Jaggu's mother, played by Urvashi, worships just villains and has a puja bell that is made out of a gun, which is novel and evokes laughs. There are parts of the film which work in isolation. Unfortunately, the film ends up a tad too long and has far too many subplots added, making a mess of the main story-line at most times.
Had these situations been handled deftly, the film could have possibly worked better. But, Jaidev doesn't like any girl she shows and, as fate would have it, he falls for the matchmaker Gowri. A pretty marriage broker, a la Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Kuch Naa Kaho, is there to helm him. The film then progresses into a part-hilarious juncture, which has Jaggu Dada, now disguised as a suave Dubai-businessman Jaidev, in search of a girl. P Ravi Shankar in the comical role reminds one of the dead Naseeruddin Shah of Chamatkar at times. The film did have the potential of being a winner, especially with the initial part of a dead grandfather haunting for his last wish to be fulfilled. Sadly, this mishmash hasn't resulted in well-knit end product.
As the film progresses, one is reminded of many films, some of these include Kuch Naa Kaho, Bride And Prejudice, Chamatkar, Welcome and Munnabhai series. First-time filmmaker Raghavendra Hegde's Jaggu Dada is intrinsically a masala action comedy, which is tailored to ensure the superstar hero lives up to the 'image' that he has built for his fans. No one in his town wants to marry their daughter off to a don, leading him to go to Mumbai to con someone to do the same. While Darshan is usual self flexing his muscles, fists and kicks, it is Deeksha Seth who acts as a perfect foil rising about the pretty babe prop.Jaggu Dada, the third generation in a family of goons, is stuck in a sticky situation when his dead grandfather haunts him to get married a 'cultured girl'. Enjoy, be entertained and educated on what it means to being a rowdy and devoid of respect. For now though he has etched a new meaning to rowdy entertainment. Will Hegde's gamble pay off, only time will tell. Needless to say Jaggu falls for Gowri to complete the film's romantic track.įilled with high octane, stylised action sequences to ensure mass appeal for his loyal fans, the film also brims with some mirthful comedy hidden with messages. Jaggu's search lands him in Maximum City where marriage broker Gowri lines up a string of prospective brides who all turn out to be reality show babes. Turning ghost after his heart-attack, the grand dad is after Jaggu to find the girl as soon as possible, lest Jaggu turns complete rowdy as his mother Pushpa would want him to be. Mama Pushpa's bosom boy who aspires her son become numero uno don of the underworld fiefdom his grandfather Ravishankar and his father Veeru had once ruled ruthlessly.īut Jaggu, who has no qualms about dancing to mama's tunes, however, has to contended with grand dad Ravishankar who wants him to let past be past and turn new leaf to wed a homily girl and earn society's respect and station. That said Jaggu Dada revolves around rowdy Jaggu. That he has pushed the envelope despite regurgitating the moth eaten story and has chosen to narrate in a nifty, delectable, way surreptitiously suggesting that there is more to life than being a disreputable rowdy, spicing up his saga with comedy should be appreciated. Yes, Hegde has staked both his reputation, as also Darshan's, at the boxoffice turnstile. This thanks to debutant director Raghavendra Hegde who has cleverly scripted a tale that melds both commercial and social aspects without being preachy.
