Produced, directed and edited by Feroz Khan. Surprising that he didn't write the story aswell, because Janasheen is basically a star vehicle for Mr Khan and Khan junior. The basic premise of the movie SPOILER is: rich mobster bumps off 'competitor' only later to find out he was the father of his 'adopted' son. The story is promising but has unfortunately been given little room for development. The story is just a foundation for motorbike races, fights, songs and beautiful women.
The movie lasts appr. 2 1/2 hours. Subtract from this eight songs of about 6 minutes each (i.e. one song every fifteen minutes), fifteen minutes of racing and fifteen minutes of fighting. This leaves less than half of the movie for the development of the story. Which decreases even further if you subtract all of the irrelevant annoying scenes, such as beautiful women fawning over Fardeen Khan (he ain't all that) and scenes of Feroz Khan praying.
Janasheen loses even more of its attraction because of the many inconsistencies. Ranging from simple things such as arriving in a silver station wagon, but leaving in a red convertible to being in a car that gets hit by a train and not even having a scratch on you. As the movie progresses illogical instances increase. Perhaps Mr Khan was running out of film?
In short, Janasheen has very little to offer unless you like to see beautiful women, Feroz Khan wearing more makeup than Kelly Osbourne and RuPaul put together and motorbike races. Too bad these races aren't even that realistic. I can't remember ever seeing a race in which so many riders crashed nor have I ever seen a race in which sparks literally fly (you'll know what I mean when you see it).
