Jane tu... ya Jane na


First things first, I would give the movie a rating of 4.5 / 5. I would say that there is nothing new to the story, just an old formula, retold, re crafted. But Aabbas Tyrewala's style of narration is superb. I would say that the movie is a tamed down version of Dil Chahta hai, no not a masterpiece as DCH, but yes you will identify wioth the crowd somewhere. Be it the crush amonst the friends, be it the indecisive nature of Aditi and Jai, be it the foolishness of Jignesh Patel, or a very closely knit relationships between friends.

The movie starts with a group of people waiting for somebody at the airport, and in them is a girl who actually is an air hostess, and she hated the idea of waiting at the airport for a delayed flight, she is pissed off, snapping everybody. And then the remaining four guys starts narrating a story, a unique Love story, Jai and Aditi's love story. The director with the help of these people explained every aspect of their relationship. Some aspects which were not very obvious, some which were underlying aspects in their relationship, is beautifully explained / highlighted with these friends! I loved the side story about the "ranjhaud ke rathore" and the cameo by Naseer.

What I liked about the movie was the fact that Jai (Imran) and Aditi (Genelia) are always with each other, the best friends ever existed on this earth, but still they are not in love, OK, at least they don't think about love. But they cant live without each other. The way Jai cares about Aditi, the way Aditi fights for Jai, everybody except them know that they are in love, but good thing is nobody in the group interferes this love / friendship relationship of theirs. They just leave it on time, or rather Jai and Aditi!

Acting wise Imran and Genelia has done a good job, yes he is the new Chocolate boy, and believe me he is good at it, I was just amazed to see the reaction of the girls in the movie theater :-). I think Genelia needs to work on her Hindi accent, but somehow I found that cute, the cute Goan Hindi accent! AR Rahman's music is fresh and amazing!

Overall a must watch.

And yes Harman Baweja: Dont compare yourself with this dude, he is here to stay!
