Jimmy is a 2008 Indian Hindi-language action film[1] directed by Raj N. Sippy. The film introduces the son of Mithun Chakraborty, Mimoh Chakraborty. This was the Bollywood debut of Mimoh Chakraborty with high expectations,[4] but it was a box office bomb. It was a remake of the 1974 movie Majboor.[5][6]
Plot
[edit]In this film, a young woman's body in cold blood is recovered by the assistant commissioner of police (Rahul Dev). All the clues (including a purse) where the girl's body was found point to Jimmy (Mimoh Chakraborty) as the killer. To everyone's surprise, including his girlfriend and mother, he confesses to the crime of killing Rithu Bhatnagar to Rahul Dev in the police station. An automobile mechanic by profession and a dance heartthrob of everyone by night, Jimmy works as a DJ in the local dance club to pay off the debts left behind by his late father. Jimmy owns up to the murder and is sentenced to death. Why would a young man on the threshold of life commit such a heinous crime? What is the real motive behind it? Only Jimmy knows the truth, and if he is not the murderer, then he knows who is. In a sudden twist of fate, Jimmy realizes in jail that he has been drawn into a vicious conspiracy. But it is too late... or is it? What follows is a spine-chilling suspense that unfolds in this fast-paced saga of crime, deceit and murder.
In the climax, the real killer is revealed and surprisingly it's Zulfi Sayed.
