Janasheen (transl. Heir) is a 2003 Indian Hindi-language romantic action thriller film co-written, edited, produced and directed by Feroz Khan who stars along with his son, Fardeen Khan, and Celina Jaitly. It was partly shot in Afghanistan.[3]
Plot
[edit]Lucky Kapoor (Fardeen Khan) lives in Australia and has no interest in taking over his father, Virendra Kapoor's (Harsh Chhaya) business in India. Meanwhile, Saba Karim Shah (Feroz Khan) has a great interest in a plot of land owned by Mr. Kapoor, but Mr. Kapoor has no interest in selling. Shah thus has Mr. Kapoor killed, making it look like an accident. Jessica Periera (Celina Jaitly), a childhood sweetheart of Lucky, has proof that Mr. Kapoor's death was not an accident—but she keeps it to herself. When Karim Shah meets with Lucky to renegotiate, he finds that Lucky is willing to sell—but he also discovers that Lucky bears a striking resemblance to his own dead son. Although Karim Shah will do anything to make Lucky heir to his own wealth and properties, Lucky remains unwilling.

Reception
[edit]Critical response
[edit]Smitha Parigi of Rediff.com wrote "Overall, the film is eye-candy. Skin and the landscapes of Australia are in lush abundance. Like any Feroz Khan film, watch the film only for style."[4] Namrata Joshi of Outlook India gave the film 1 out of 5 stars stating "Watching the film is like feasting on cold and congealed leftovers of yesterday."[5] Anupama Chopra of India Today wrote, "what was edgy 20 years ago - think Dharmatma and Qurbani - is now archaic. So while the narrative hops continents (India, Australia, Afghanistan) and characters fight over a night club, you begin to ponder the peripherals."[6]
