When Emily Dickinson wrote “the heart wants what he wants,” he came home for many of us. As Dickinson said, human desires and fixations are often beyond justification and reasoning. The last original of Jiocinema, Jo Tei Wo Mera Hai, is based on the same concept. The film tells the story of a man named Mitesh (Amit Sial), who has had his heart in UTSAV, a beautiful bungalow in Mumbai, for years. Like a love teenager, he continues to move through photos of the town on his phone, dreams of dreaming of that and does not mind sustaining traffic just to get a time to admire the villa in all his glory.
The only obstacle that gets in the path of the house of his childhood dreams is Govonda (Paresh Rawal), the perpetually owner of UTSAV, who throws unwanted visitors and stays with the help of his home in the town in the town . He is very aware of the magnetism of the place and cannot bear the view of the runners who loom themselves on him, hoping that he accepts to sell the place. A warning outside his villa says that “Intruders will be killed.” Govinda, always seen in a Khadi Kurta with her cloudy hair, is a hard walnut to break.
However, when Mitesh’s obsession takes care, he decides to reach the life of Govinda’s wound. His idea is to follow the old man, strategically build a relationship with him, gain his trust and, ultimately, convince or scam (which is better at this time) to reveal it.
What follows is a series of comic efforts to fulfill this difficult mission. MITESH is ready to go to any extent that the villa, even if that means dealing with dangerous criminals or missing his son’s birthday party. Being a vice man, who is found through his teeth, bets and traps, this is not exactly a temporary change of morals for him.
Mitesh’s sial representation is impressive and maintains the mood of the film. From its expressions and body language until its comic, Sial has played the role. He even manages to bring a touch of innocence to MITESH, who is otherwise a boy of defects.
However, it was Paresh Rawal who stole my show. The veteran actor has once again delivered a star performance, which adds to his diverse portfolio of roles. The irregularity, insecurities and idiosyncrasies of his character resonate through the screen. In a scene, suspicion of Mitesh’s intention and, nevertheless, choose to ignore it due to the undivided attention it is receiving after the ages.
Unfortunately, however, the script gives Rawal and Sial a very limited room to shine. While the actors took the most of what was given to them, the film stops long before using them to the fullest. I would have loved the film to explore the loneliness of Govinda and touch his memories with his deceased son, who is constantly spoken in the film.
Jo Tei Wo Mera Hai essentially tries to show the omnipresence of greed through age, class or gender. Even with his comic approach, he manages to establish how greed often leads to a cavation of his own grave. Almost all the characters in the movie Harbor Greed for something. For some it is money and active, for others it is lust and the company.
While Jo Hai Woh Mera Hai makes an honest attempt to show the depths of greed, he suffers from a too simplistic tone that happens about the hardest realities in the world. If he had not sweetened the representation and tried to satirize instead, the film would not have felt like a preacher story and before bedtime about the immorality of greed.
Rave Trivedi movie could be a good choice for when you are looking for something cheerful and simplistic. His lessons in morality can adapt to a younger audience, but if he is looking for something with a little more emotional depth, or even completely laughing, we suggest that he jumps this.
