Jackpot Hindi Movie Review
Ratings:3/5 Review By: Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama
Jackpot doesn't spill the beans at the outset and the non-linear depiction of happenings that constantly switch back and forth leave you confused, making you wonder, what's Kaizad up to? The post-interval portions move feverishly and the unanswered questions get an answer. The writing is smart, the pacing is just right, the twists and turns in the narrative are sharp and the culmination catches you completely unaware. Kaizad serves an intelligent thriller. On the whole, JACKPOT proves to be an interesting watch with a sharp and clever second half.Visit Site for more

Boss, Francis and Maya hatch a plan to steal crores of cash. And while the deed itself is executed decently enough, the subsequent sub-plots and implications of intrigue amongst the schemers is laid on with the predictability and subtlety of a bull in a china shop.Visit Site for more

Kaizad Gustad has penned a very confusing story and screenplay. The film keeps going into flashbacks adding to the confusion of the audience. Only the alert and very intelligent audience will understand the drama as it unfolds, that too, if they care to. On the whole, Jackpot fails to thrill or send a chill down the audience’s spine. It will, therefore, not appeal to the audience and will bomb at the box-office.Visit Site for more

There are as many coils, twists and tangles in the film's plot as there are in Naseer's wig, though the plot is not half as riveting as Naseer's hair. Sadly the stylish packaging and striking cinematography remain unsupported by the plot and characters. Neither are interesting or dangerous enough to be endearing in their immorality. Sorry, it just doesn't add up.Visit Site for more

Much like Boom (I shudder every time I say it), Jackpot too stars a creepy old rich man and a young cunning seductress. Only this time, he does you the courtesy of adding a creepy young-ish guy and his 'lukkha' friends -- just to keep it original, you know?Only go for Jackpot if you sat right until the end of the titles of Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag and yelled encore.Visit Site for more

In this confused tale, spearheaded by con artists Francis (Sachiin Joshi), his long-limbed lover Maya (Sunny Leone), and a couple of cronies, the numbers keep changing. Sometimes it is five. Sometimes it is double and three times that. What doesn't change is the way the director leaches all the it's-so-bad-it's-great from his story, and replaces it with dullness.Visit Site for more

While the adult star turned Bollywood heroine has high expectations from her latest release, we were really disappointed with this one. What is supposed to be a slick con film ends up like half baked pie with all the wrong ingredients in it.Visit Site for more
Ratings:0.5/5 Review By: Mohar Basu Site:Koimoi
What’s Good: Skin show for shoddy audience. But no treats for cine lovers. Though the film’s music is praiseworthy. What’s Bad: A contrived style of narration and the story which is best understood by Gustad only. Kaizad Gustad’s Jackpot is best forgotten. With a team of really pathetic actors, the film won’t thrill or excite you. If there was one film which just wants to kill you by boring you to death, it would be this one. While the year has had really bad films, this one is the most sleep incurring one of the lot.Visit Site for more
