What do you expect from a movie that is based on true friendship? Well, an intense bonding between the friends, few heart-wrenching dialogues and a fabulous story line that touches your soul. Director Tanushree Chatrji Bassu's 'Purani Jeans' lacked all three. What seemed to be a delight to watch by the trailer, turned out to be a melancholy at the theatre.
The story has nothing new to offer and the plot is utterly predictable. Bad acting makes it even worse. There's a so-called bunch of cool friends named Kasuali Cowboys (self-proclaimed) and they have there own set of some dim-witted cowboy rules which can't be broken. All five of them are high school pass outs and preparing for their college entrance exams. But their silly friendship dialogues won't even be spoken by kids who study in 5th grade and have an oh-so adorable friend circle. Dialogues like 'alpha, beta, gamma, theta jo hai sexy wo hai Gita', simply crosses the line of absurdity. Best friends turning foes because of girl is something that we have seen through ages in Bollywood.
Tanuj Virwani, Aditya Seal and Izabelle Leite- all three leads in the movie lack expressions and they seem to be trying too had to act. The only saving grace was the amazing milieu that seemed intriguing till the time, there acting got bad to worse.
Izabelle Leite's inscrutable expressions make it too hard for the viewer to comprehend if she is happy or sad. We don't blame it on her. Maybe it is because of years of modelling career that has made her a poker face. Tanuj Virwani fails to impress again in his second chance and Aditya Seal shows some potential in acting, but that too won't help him in the long run.
The film is a bad attempt to display the emotions of friendship and love in its true sense. You would rather concentrate on munching your popcorn because the movie has nothing unique to catch one's attention. It is recommended only for those who want to watch this movie just for the heck of it.
