Jaganmohini Movie Review

Behind the Movie “Jaganmohini”: Namitha, the red hot, most bombarded, sexiest heroine with her thagda body has remained the main icon for this movie “Jaganmohini”. Movie being a remake of yesteryear’s wonder “Jaganmohini” of Vithalaacharya and Music being composed by Laya Raja Ilayaraja…all these reasons have taken the back seat for one and only Namitha and her sexy show as “Jaganmohini”. 

In the Movie “Jaganmohini”: The kingdom of Matsyadeevi has got an announcement that Prince Jagan Prathap (Raja) is entering into a wed lock with Jayanthi (Meera Chopra). When it is the time to celebrate, a sudden jerk to the audience as a water devil creates huge devastation in the kingdom. No prizes for guessing the water devil, its none other than our hero(ine) Namitha. But Tantrik (Kota Srinivasa Rao) controls her and traps in his Kamandalam. Who is this Water Devil? Why does she stop the marriage? What is her purpose? forms the rest of the story.
In brief the remaining story is that, there is an island with the name Shankham where Mohini (Namitha), daughter of a fisherman live along with her family. She dances happily with her mother (Jyothilaxmi) for no reason…(Just to entertain the audience with Mini Mini size Bikinis). But from no where comes the Prince Jagan Prathap to this island and falls instantly in love with Mohini. They do the romance which is an eye treat for Namitha fans. But King being serious about Jagan Prathap loving a fisherman’s daughter sends a troop to kill her and the mission is accomplished. The dead Mohini with her unfulfilled dreams turns back as Water Devil. Then with turns and twists, at last Jagan Prathap agrees for share his love to both Jayanthi and Mohini. But how, Ram Gopal Varma has found a solution…the soul of Mohini will enter Jayanthi…that’s so cool “Darling”.

Values of the Movie “Jaganmohini”: Namitha who tried so hardly to get back her lost following in Tamil and Telugu has done everything to the movie. She wore mini mini bikinis, she wore the wettest of the wettest saris, and she kept all those sexy expressions with her oomph filling half of the screen. Although movie’s plot belongs to some medieval times of our history, how come are those Tar roads, Electric bulbs in this movie? What a big blunder Director Vishwanathan. Raja who has donned the role of Jagan Prathap is at his worst in the movie. He has been such a mismatch to Namitha…that you feel of vomiting some times. Meera Chopra is far better than any other in this movie. Jaganmohini is much rated as visual grandeur…it is all a big aloof. Strictly speaking Vithalaacharya feels ashamed by looking the work of graphical division in this movie, as years past the old “Jaganmohini” is far better than this. The so called devils or demons gang picturized with Visual graphics will make you run out of the theatre. Director Vishwanathan, who said about the expectations on this movie being very high…is unable to deliver at least a % of it. One doesn’t know, what made Ilayaraja to accept this movie?

Out of the Movie “Jaganmohini”: What a bad phase to the film industry? Both the movies released for Diwali have turned out to be big duds. Except Namitha and her excellent body show, there is nothing right on the screen. Few sectors of film goers may even feel the crushing body frame of Namitha too much odd. I spoke only about the front benchers who always look out for Namitha in a skimpy outfit. With her overweighed body, Namitha’s waist and bust looked awesome and also ugly. There is nothing to save this film. With all type of calculations, I can conclude that most of you people may not even get a chance to watch this cinema…as it is released only in few theatres (Producer, Distributor saved a lot with this), so it is better “Light Lelo” for Jaganmohini, even if you are a die hard fan of Namitha, always prefer to take a sleeping pill or Headache tablet along with you to the theatre. Also make sure that you are seated to the corner and near to an exit door…

“Jaganmohini” Cine Josh verdict: Nothing like Namitha’s “Moha”…It is all a big nonsense and would be rated as WORST film of this season unanimously.
