Jannat is yet another Bhatt Venture that gives out another predictable story but put in a different way. The story revolves around Cricket but the actual plot is not cricket but the love story between the leading couple, Emraan Hashmi and Sonal chauhan.

Jannat is also a breakthrough for debutante director [Kunal Deshmukh] and penned by, again, a debutante wordsmith [story: Vishesh Bhatt; screenplay Kunal Deshmukh and Vishesh Bhatt].

The opening of the movie is the usual guy-girl songs and love duets with Emraan struggling to become somebody rich and powerful from just another card-player when he becomes a bookie and tries his hands on cricket matches.

Right after the interval there are interested hair-raising twists and turns which will keep you up and leaves you with a totally unpredictable end.

Emraan Hashmi looks much better after a few films now. He seems to act more grownup and professional. Sonal Chauhan looks pretty and though she's passable in the initial portions, she gets into the groove eventually. This girl has the potential. Jawed Sheikh is brilliant. This is his finest work so far. Samir Kochar is excellent. Vishal Malhotra is good. Shakeel Khan does very well. Abhimanyu Singh is competent. Vipin Sharma leaves a mark in a brief role.

On the whole, JANNAT is a well-made film with lilting music, gripping script and excellent performances as its mainstay. Coupled with an absorbing second hour and a brilliant climax, the film has all it takes to prove a success story in times to come. Its solo release coupled with good hype should overcome the strong opposition
