Story:

Jabardasth is the story of two friends, Byreraju (Siddharth) and Shreya (Samantha), who starts a business of Event planning in partnership. Making humble beginnings, they graduate to bigger events and soon, their company, Shreyas Media, becomes a name to reckon with. Their busy work schedules see them spending a good part of their working hours in each other’s company. Shreya falls in love with Byreraju. Byreraju feels money is only thing that keeps them both together.

Seeing Byreraju’s casual attitude, Shreya feels frustrated. Tensions between Shreya and Byreraju build up and ultimately the partnership dissolves. Byreraju starts his own business of wedding planning with Saraswathi (Nithya Menon) even Shreya continues as the owner of Shreyas Media. Both of them fail in their respective businesses as they are both incomplete without the other. Their employees try to bring the two of them together but they fails.

Then, a Don, Javed Bhai (Srihari), calls both of them to jointly plan the wedding of his sister. They refuse to join . While planning this wedding, they realize how good they are together. Byreraju also learns that Shreya is getting married. Does Shreya takes Byreraju’s advice? Does Byreraju understand Shreya’s feelings for him? Will Shreyas Media continue their business?  These must be watched on the screen.


The film is heavily ‘inspired’ by Hindi film Band Baaja Baarat ,The director has added completely farcical comedy into the original which doesn’t give any scope for emotion that was present in the original.The first half of the film especially the beginning is very over the top and then after some time it settles into a rhythm. It goes well till interval where it ends on a predictable note. Second half of the film starts interestingly and then gaining momentum with the introduction of characters of Nithya Menon and Srihari. Among the two Nithya Menon portion is good but the Srihari episode ends on a poor note which is followed by a climax that is far from satisfying.
Performances:

After alomost a year Siddarth appeared on screen. His performance was very good and suits well for the character. She is cute and looked pretty on the screen. Her performance is superb as usual. There is no doubt in saying she will play a major part in the movie’s run.
Nitya Menon is good in the little cameo. She looked good and performance is adequate. Srihari in the role of Javed Bhai is good. There are numerous other actors like Thagubothu Ramesh, Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam, Vennela Kishore and others. They have contributed their parts.
Siddharth so far had restricted himself to only love stories and romantic entertainers. For the first time he had attempted a mass comedy. His attempt should be admired but at they same time the home work is not sufficient. His acting looked artificial at many places.
Highlights?
1. Samantha’s terrific screen presence
2. Neat comedy
3. Twist in Nitya Menon’s character
4. Srihari comedy scenes
Drawbacks?
1. Free make of Band Baaja Baraat
2. Director failed to establish emotions
3. Siddharth’s overboard acting
Final Verdict
Jabardasth has a funny premise but it is not narrated in an attractive manner. Nandini Reddy had shown promise with her earlier movie, Ala Modalaindi, but she loses her ground this time around.
