Sujoy Ghosh’s debut film, ‘Jhankaar Beats,’ is a refreshing take on life, love, and music, reminiscent of Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ but with its own unique flair. The film centers around Rishi and Deep, two copywriters with a shared dream of winning a music contest. Deep is happily married and expecting a child, while Rishi’s marriage is on the rocks. Ghosh masterfully captures the nuances of suburban life, weaving humor and subtle observations into a narrative that keeps viewers engaged. The film pays homage to classic Hindi cinema while maintaining a contemporary feel. With its rapid-fire narration and memorable sequences, ‘Jhankaar Beats’ stands out as a sincere and funny urban fable, elevated by strong performances, especially from Sanjay Suri. Producer Pritish Nandy notes the film’s impact on a new generation of viewers, initiating a fresh genre of content. The film’s success highlighted the beginning of the multiplex era, and paved the way for projects like ‘Four More Shots Please’ that continue to explore friendship among a new generation.
