Janasheen - A Feroze Khan thriller, lavish and romantic   

          Janasheen - darling son of two fathers - one the real and the other foster. One is Virendra Kapoor who abandons his family to become a millionaire and the other is Saba, an Afghan who sees in the youth the image of his own son who got killed in Afghanistan back in 1981. The cast of the film is led by Feroze Khan himself, who has produced, directed and edited Janasheen. Celina Jaitly is the star attraction and plays daughter mothered by aunt Archana Puran Singh opposite Fardeen Khan, a super-bike racer aspiring to become champion.

          Fardeen is caught between his real father and the sentimental father. Saba is determined to acquire Kapoor's prime property, but the latter is equally firm on not selling it off at any cost. Fardeen holds father responsible for mother's death and hence feels much like an orphan. Archana Puran Singh is his foster mother in the film.

         The film is about strange relationships, intrigues, love and pure affection. Afghanistan flashback is accidental, just to make certain key characters and their bonds more convincing. But situations look contrived, though some of the scenes carry dramatic power.

          The film has a Muslim flavour running through with Feroze Khan mouthing epithets and exclamations to establish his Pathan-Pakhtoon identity. But to take liberties from Muslim social usceptibilities, Feroze Khan brings in Christian characters like Jessica and the Australian connection which is where the motor bike races are being held and where he meets Fardeen and his friends.

          This allows him to justify all the semi-nude glamour every few minutes that he flaunts on the big screen on the drop of a hat, virtually. Pretty girls in scanty swim suits popping in and out of water or even erupting out of sands in a desert titillate the audience.

          Feroze Khan attempts to produce a super entertainer, a romantic thriller and a blockbuster in his own inimitable style. But what about son Fardeen? The latest Khan venture, produced on a very lavish and very ambitious scale is supposed to be his roadmap to success.
