For every nobody who wants to be a
somebody
On every street, in every home, somewhere in India,
there is a 'nobody' who wants desperately to be a
'somebody'. Jashnn is the story of one such nobody...
Akash Verma (Adhyayan Suman), a twenty year old Indian
lad, thirsts to become a singing icon that can blaze a
trail for himself among the galaxy of existing stars.
But though he has dreams in his heart, he has been
unable to find that distinctive voice that he can call
his own, that will propel him to the top.
Only when he's shattered by life and unflinchingly looks
at the sordid truth straight in the face - that he is
freeloading off his elder sister Nisha (Shahana Goswami),
who, in order to offer him a decent life style, has
become the mistress of a rich businessman Aman Bajaj (Humayun
Saeed), is he able to touch his inner core.
Call it irony or a twist of fate, but the person who
sees him through this dark night and mentors him when
he's down and out is none other than the sister of the
person who he hates most in the world... Aman Bajaj.
Like it
happens in life, Akash Verma’s biggest support comes
just at the moment when he has almost given up. The
person in his life or lets say destiny, gives him the
strength to face reality and believe in himself.
Jashnn has
super music coupled with brilliant performances from
Adhyayay, Sahaha and even Anjana and Humayun. Many
delicate moments are strikingly presented like the tiff
between Adhyayan and Humayun, when the latter abuses his
sister Shahana. Then the subsequent scene, when Adhyayan
apologises to Humayun at his office, which is very
touching.
Another insightful sequence is when Adhyayan having
faced failure, when his demo is rejected by the music
company it is his outburst at this point. It shatters
your heart!
Cast:

It is Sara (Anjana Sukhani),
Aman's sister, who makes him realize that he is an
extremely talented man who is simply going through a bad
phase and that the biggest crime a human being can commit,
is to give up on himself.
Spurrred by life's bittersweet lessons, and Sara's genuine
love and support, Akash, in the harshest winter of his
life discovers an invincible summer within
himself...thereby discovering his own voice.
With this very special tune, which has been soaked with
the passion of his lived life, he not only touches his
inexhaustible potential and becomes an overnight star but
also bring dignity to his beleagured sister, huimbles his
biggest detractor Aman Bajaj and in the process, lives up
to the faith that Sara had in him all along.
Jashnn is based on the
character Akash Verma, ideally like one of the thousands
of aspirant singers in India who want to make it big in
the music world. It mirrors the dreams of millions of
hopefuls who want to achieve success in life. There are
many who want to live their dreams, want to become a
somebody some day.
Director duo Raksha Mistry and Hasnain Hyderabadwala have
come up with a brilliant flick which has melodious songs
and soulful music, powerful dialogues and excellent
camerawork.
