Jhoomer, another most-awaited flick by Syed Noor was released on Eid Day in Cirose Cinema-Rawalpindi.Unlike other Syed Noor movies' unpredictable nature, i was pretty much sure about the success of this movie before I saw it, thinking that with a recent huge success like Majajan under his belt, Syed Noor must have finally learnt how to capture viewers attention till the end of the movie.
Expectations were high, crowd were positive, so no one hated the typical lollywood style of how movie started. I was still optimistic of movie being a hit. But against all the positive previews and high hopes, unlike Majajan, Jhoomer proved to be another piece of sh*tt! A huge waste of time n money!

Jhoomer is based on a "True Story" of a dehati girl (saima) who falls in love with an army guy, played by Momi. They finally get married as it was predictable. And then starts a non-sense with no rationality in it. Typical bloodshed, songs picturized in Murree n Daman-e-Koh (Islamabad) n some noticeable acting by our lovely girl - THE SAIMA.

Well i don't really feel like going through the same agony that i had while watching the film by typing down the full story. In short, another huge flop by Syed Noor. He might have thought, carrying on with the Majajan Sets and locations, he can get another classic the same way. But Jhoomer was no way near Majajan.

No one can deny Syed Noor's talent. But with talent you gotta realize that viewers are clever enough to differentiate between an original product and a "Mixture".

Music was of top-notch, a couple of beautifuly picturized scenes reminded of Majajan, rest was crap. The start, the ending, the storyline, simply makes you feel that you are watching a movie by some B-Class Director. Only good music and "big names" can't save the movie.

5/10 for Jhoomer
