Cast: Randeep Hooda, Arunoday Singh, Sunny Leone
Director: Pooja Bhatt
Finally the wait is over! As the much awaited erotic thriller Jism 2 starring porn star Sunny Leone hit the silver screen on Friday. Pooja Bhatt’s Jism 2 is the sequel to the 2003 film Jism, which starred John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. Touted as one of the most bold movies, Jism 2 has already raised eyebrows with its raunchy trailer and melodious songs.
‘Jism 2’ starts with Izna(Sunny Leone), a porn star, narrating her story lying on her deathbed. The story revolves around Izna who is cheated and abandoned by his boyfriend Kabir (Randeep Hooda). Here comes Ayan, (Arunoday Singh), officer of some secret Indian intelligence agency, who hires Izna to sneak crucial data from an ex-officer turned terrorist Kabir. He convinces her to work for the country and requests her to go after Kabir once again. Izna agrees and together, they devise a plan to trap Kabir.
They both fly to Sri Lanka where Kabir lives disguised as a musician. Through a series of well planned encounters, Izna makes a place for herself in Kabir’s life again. Though suspicious Kabir tries to check her out, but finding nothing, he falls completely for her and lets passion, lust take over his mind. While Izna is using all her sultry allures to woo Kabir, Ayan realizes his love for the porn star. From here the story picks up pace as betrayal, suspicion and jealousy come into the story.
Thumbs Up:
All three of the leading stars really complement to the movie name ‘Jism 2’. Chiseled Hooda and Singh will obviously titillate female fantasy. Though, Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda fit well into their respective characters, real winner is Randeep for portraying such an intense and passionate role with élan.
The main highlight of this film Sunny Leone looks fresh, beautiful and erotic. Adding to this, she surprises the viewers with her amazing grace. Despite her dubbed dialogues, it shows that she has put an effort in her debut Hindi film. The passionate love making scenes of Sunny and Hooda are true scorcher; it can easily make you sweat.
Director Pooja Bhatt should be given credit of filming intimate scenes with effectiveness without adding vulgarity.
Picturesque locales of Sri Lanka look amazing on camera. Needless to say, like other Bhatt films Jism 2 songs are already chart toppers.
Thumbs Down:
Sunny Leone can’t act. Sometimes she is wooden, has no capability to emote and looks ridiculous when she tries to cry. Arunodoy tries to act but throughout the film he seems to be confused where to cry and where to shout.
The ‘story’ is terribly poor with weak narratives and clichéd dialogues.
Don’t get fooled with the much touted sex and erotic scenes. Lovemaking scenes are sometimes less intense and they are too brief to make an impact. Many of the scenes are predictable, clichéd and yawn inducing.
Pooja Bhatt fails miserably as a director. This movie fails to make an impact on the audiences.
Having not been left with other options, you can watch ‘Jism 2’ only for the bikini clad, erotic Sunny Leone !
