Saswata Chatterjee as Tuti-futi Bagchi is brilliant in his role. Katrina too is fine as Shruti, and in fact, evoke chuckles as a clumsy yet impressive investigator. His animated expressions suit the setup of the film and at no point does he feel too dramatic or over expressive. Ranbir once again proves his acting prowess as a stammering yet confident Jagga. The film is a musical, thus heavily dependent on its music and Pritam has surely justified Basu's hard work with his enchanting scores which is the narration style of the film. The major baggage of the film is carried well by music director Pritam. Ravi Verman's frames feel right out of a storybook and the colours just pop out like any other Hollywood feel-good Disney film. Another shining aspect of the film is its cinematography.
The first half of the film is extremely entertaining with Jagga's back-story and build up. One day he gets the news of tuti-futi's demise and then begins the journey of Jagga to find his father, amid the cobweb of international illegal arms export. And during one such case, he meets Shruti (Katrina Kaif), an investigative journalist. Jagga grows up to be a mystery-solver with his sharp mind and observation, helping the police of his town to solve murders. Then one-day Jagga is left at the boarding school by his adopted father, who takes an exit from his life only to send one tape a year, full of advice on his birthday. The film stars Ranbir as Jagga, an orphan who is adopted by a stranded man, Tuti-futi Bagchi, from a hospital where he’s admitted. Basu has given his quintessential touch to the film with a subtle love story, a heart-warming tale of a father-son duo and certain animated expressions. No matter how exotic the film feels, the heart of the film is typically Bollywood, with lots of emotions and childlike innocence and naivety. The picturesque North East has been presented beautifully along with Moroccan streets and several Madagascar-ish touch-ups. An out and out musical, the film is one of its kind with nearly 30 songs and a Tintin-like mystery adventure narrative presented in a sing-song live action format.
