Jagga Jasoos reminded me of my academic year in high school..it started off with a bang, but gradually turned out to be massive letdown. The effort at putting together a smart and funny action adventure could be spotted throughout the stylized comic-bookish tone of the film, which is a really unique attempt by Anurag Basu. But the tone is all over the place. The idea of putting together an action-musical is executed well, but at parts, the songs feel forced and the singing unnecessary. It eventually turns from smart and funny to stupid and silly, and by the time its over..you are left with nothing but expectations for a better sequel, which is made evident by a guest appearance at the very end. Its a very fast-paced movie, with creative visual choices and without any boring elements. But the action lacks originality and feels choppy. The visual effects are not so bad. Overall, its a good attempt but a big disappointment.
