Movie Review: "Janleva 555"; Star Cast: Kalpana Pandit, Anant Nag, Abrar Zahoor; Director: Sandeep Malani; Rating: * - mish-mash of genres, avoid it.
"Janleva 555" is like a slow poison that slowly consumes you, leaving you feeling wasted and annoyed. The theme and treatment of the film is outdated and difficult to digest from the word go.
It has all the ingredients of movies of the bygone era. Reminiscent of films of the 1970 and 1980s with 'nagins', 'saperas' et al, "Janleva 555" starts off as a snakebite awareness film and gradually morphs into.
