Now what if that character, usually more fun to watch than to actually tolerate, actually got permanently stuck in a 45-year-old man’s body? That’s the premise of Jawaani Jaaneman, a mostly watchable coming-of-middle-age comedy where Khan’s London-residing, party-loving Jazz must reconcile with the sudden fact that he has a 21-year-old daughter, Tia, as a result of a one-night-stand from over two decades ago. It was a character that appeared to be a natural fit for the actor born into privilege and Khan played it with an easy charm and endearing self-awareness. Jawaani Jaaneman show children being born out of wedlock pretty casually and matter-of-factly. In that sense, Jawaani Jaaneman is his homecoming, a role he’s always known how to play.
