No magic in Abhishek Bachchan's Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa. On Wahiyat Wednesday

Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Keerthi Reddy, was released 21 years ago on August 18, 2000. We tell you why the romantic film is far from magical.

Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa turns 21 today, August 18. Starring Abhishek Bachchan and Keerthi Reddy in the lead roles, the romantic film had very few things going for it. It was yet another story where a simpleton with a golden heart falls in love with an ambitious city girl. Add shoddy screenplay, unimpressive acting and caricatures for characters in the mix and you will be left wondering who in their right mind would let Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa go on for 2 hours and 50 minutes. We take a look at why the film was a complete letdown for the audience in this week’s Wahiyat Wednesday. Directed by A Muthu, Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa was Abhishek Bachchan’s second film after his Bollywood debut, Refugee. There was immense pressure on the actor back in 2000 to live up to the reputation of his father Amitabh Bachchan, a living acting legend. But, was it a smart decision to replicate Big B’s mannerisms and style in Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa? We think it wasn’t. But, that’s just the beginning of what made the movie sink.
