0.5/5
Stars
The film is about a group of friends who
set out towards a remote area to make a film. Mysterious things start
happening.
There are good films, bad films and
terrible films. Janleva 555 goes beyond terrible. Laughable acting,
cringe-worthy dialogue and garish music notwithstanding, the camerawork should
have at least been a saving grace. However, this film fails on every count.
The film is essentialy about snake-bites.
It starts with a showreel featuring well-known names such as Prabhu Deva,
Vyjayanthimala, Sonu Sood among others, who plead to the audience to watch this
film since a part of the proceeds are going to victims of snake bites who need
ventilators on an immediate basis.
We cut to two friends, Neelam (Kalpana
Pandit) and Pooja (Shona Chabra), who are in love with two guys. These four
alongwith a few other friends decide to make a film on the issue of
snake-bites! The director of this team is a guy called Steve (Cliff Janke). So
they set out towards a remote town. However, things go awry when Neelam turns
into an ichchadhaari naagin. The rest of the story is as absurd as the
aforementioned bit.
Agreed, the film is being made for a good
cause. But then, they could have made a documentary instead. Why attempt to
make this 'commercial' piece (which too, was a pathetic one) when you don't
have the resources for it? The period elements, the unnecessary song-and-dance
routines, the ridiculous stereotyping of the gay community, the film, fail at
every level possible.
The title says it all!
