I saw Jaanemann on opening night and I have to say that out of all the Bwood films I've seen in the last year, this one has to easily be the worst one. The first half plays like the worst film that Terry Gilliam has never directed: full of incongruous editing, poor SFX (including some obvious wirework that the computers didn't remove), bizarre scene transitions, and depth of field. The Salman Khan glass shattering freakout scene as well as the over-reliance on little people for humor also led me to think that the director might've been on some kind of hallucinogen. Then after the film shifts into NY, it becomes a very annoying and slow-moving piece revolving around a baby (with the horrible sound effects making me cringe at every point). Plus they really really overused the same NY locations (how many shots of Times Square are we going to have?). Worst of all, Preity Zinta totally seems wasted in such a role (Salman also looks like he's embarrassed to be playing along with such hackneyed claptrap, but goes along with it anyway). Ugh.
