Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar [1992]

Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar
Reviewed 13th July 07

This is one of those films I had seen as a child but never seen since, so as you can imagine I remembered more or less nothing about the film.

I'm not going to beat around the bush here - Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar is a classic! I'm so glad I finally watched it because it was worth every second of my time. Entertaining and made so well - a brilliant film.

The Music is fantastic. All of the songs are nice but of course the ones that stand out are 'Yahaan Ke Hum Sikandar' and 'Pehla Nasha'. My personal favourite of the two is 'Yahaan Ke Hum Sikandar' - I can't seem to get the song out of my head now, it just keeps spinning round and round - amazing song..

I had seen a film called Rok Sako To Rok Lo a couple of years back [and absolutely loved it so much] and I remember hearing how it was inspired by Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar - the similarities cannot be denied... Nonetheless, I love both films.

Aamir Khan is perfect!! He's an actor beyond perfect, as we all know, so of course you expect nothing but the best from him and he always delivers the best. His comic timing, the way he emotes through his eyes, his body language, his dialogue delivery - everything is PERFECT in JJWS as expected! He looks and performs so cute.

Deepak Tijori is wonderful and delivers a really good performance. I've always liked Deepak and he's in a lot of my favourite films from the 90s. His onscreen chemistry with Aamir is fantastic be it here or in Ghulam - their rivalry is fab to watch.

Kulbhushan Kharbanda is in full form as always. I think he's one of the best onscreen fathers in Hindi Cinema.

Ayesha Jhulka is adorable! She does complete justice to her character and performs the role with such ease and so naturally. She looks and acts really sweet and makes a nice pairing with Aamir.

Pooja Bedi looks good, though a bit OTT at parts...And performs fine. I like her a lot but she's not really much of an actress.

Overall... Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar makes you laugh, makes you cry and touches the right strings in the viewers heart making it a classic all the way.
