Mimoh’s first movie ‘Jimmy’ seems like a film from a bygone era. It is as if the writer found an obsolete script – with a few pages missing, at that – and pepped it up with twists and turns borrowed from more than one source. To add to the proceedings, the director (Raj Sippy) decided to have a number of songs in the film solely to showcase the newcomer’s dancing skills. And voila! A dream launch is ready for Mimoh. Only, it is a launch that doesn’t promise a successful take-off.



One of the many tragedies of ‘Jimmy’ is that it purports to showcase Mimoh’s dancing skills with songs that hardly sound appealing. However, to be fair, Mimoh’s quite a dancer, but the fact doesn’t stand out because the dances have been choreographed and shot in a way that fails to capture the power or the spirit of the music.



Enough about dancing, now let’s get to something serious.
