Cast: Imran Khan, Genelia D?souza, Ratna Pathak Shah
Director: Abbas Tyrewala
Even before I?m ready to share my views with you on Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, I have A question to ask: Is it unfair to go into a film with a certain level of expectation, especially when the film?s been made by someone whose work you have always admired? If it is indeed unfair, then forgive me Abbas, for I have sinned.
But if I?m allowed to expect clever writing, an original screenplay, fleshed-out characters and a fresh plot from the writer of such gems as Maqbool, Munnabhai MBBS and Main Hoon Na, then perhaps you will understand why Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na was a letdown for me.
Don?t get me wrong; I wasn?t expecting another Maqbool or a Munnabhai from Jaane Tu. It promised to be a light-hearted romance and that?s exactly what I went in to see. But a light-hearted romance from Abbas Tyrewala ? the original, imaginative, inspired writer of those afore-mentioned films.
Tired of everyone misunderstanding their strictly platonic friendship for love, 20-year-olds Jai and Aditi (that?s Imran Khan and Genelia D?souza) decide they must find each other suitable romantic partners who aren?t threatened by the closeness the two of them share. Little do they realise however, that what they feel for each other is indeed love ? it?s a reality that dawns upon them later when they?re with other partners.
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na plays out as a predictable Bollywood love story, sticking faithfully to old formulas, even culminating in that now obligatory airport climax. As far as the film?s plot is concerned, there?s very little that?s original. Jaane Tu is not your traditional plot-driven film.
It is, in fact, a film propelled by its characters and their motivations, much like Dil Chahta Hai in a sense, but without the emotional depth of that film.
The characters in Jaane Tu are all cool, light and easy. So cool in fact, that they sometimes come off looking silly. Am I really being unreasonable if I can?t understand why Abbas would give us such stereotypes as the gujju in the group ? Jignes(h), or the fat sulky one who can?t stop whining? Is it really my fault if I?m surprised a writer of Abbas? calibre wrote that ridiculous opening scene in which a group of 20-year-olds sit around in white and deliver sentimental soliloquies for their friend?s dead cat? Is it really my fault if I expected a fresh take on love, if I was hoping Jai and Aditi would realise their love for each other, but not because they realized their previous partners were such idiots? Did it have to be so simplistic; did it have to be so clichéd? Indeed it?s the silliness in the writing that is my biggest grouse against this film.
Silliness aside, at its heart, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is a refreshing film. Refreshing because of its spectacular performances. Refreshing because of A R Rahman?s outstanding soundtrack. Refreshing because the film?s actors look like they actually enjoyed making this film. And refreshing because sitting there watching the film, you can?t help feeling very old.
For every Jayant Kriplani, Anooradha Patel, Rajat Kapur and Kitu Gidwani that Abbas has wasted in this film as mere caricatures, he?s given us the spirited and feisty Ratna Pathak-Shah, the brooding and brilliant Prateik Babbar, the luminous Manjari Phadnis, and then those three cameos.
The dead parent in the photo-frame may be an old plot-device (as old as Hum Paanch on TV), but it?s a stroke of genius on Abbas? part how he ties it up so smartly in this film. Also the horsemen ? at first such a harebrained and pointless idea, but so cleverly incorporated in the narrative.
So there, that?s the Abbas I was looking for from the start of the film, but truth is, these masterstrokes are few and far between. The film battles between cutesy and clever. And cutesy wins over clever.
The only good thing that comes out of that is the electrifying chemistry we get between Imran and Genelia who literally bounce off each other and keep you spellbound when they?re on screen, even in the film?s dullest scenes.
Genelia is what I?d call a pathaka ? she?s spontaneous and sparkling. And Imran is the best young actor we?ve seen on screen for months. He?s unconventional and vulnerable and he knows how to use both to make a lasting impression.
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is not one of my favourite films this year, far from it. But it?s a respectable first film for any director. Even if one expects more from this one. It is, then, at best an above-average film, but since you won?t find any half-stars from me, I?m going to go with an average rating ? that?s two out of five for Abbas Tyrewala?s Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.
But make sure you watch it. Watch it for some sparkling dialogue, some fantastic music, but most of all, watch it for Imran and Genelia who conceal the film?s many flaws.
Rating: 2 / 5 (Average) |

Genelia is what I?d call a pathaka ? she?s spontaneous and sparkling. And Imran is the best young actor we?ve seen on screen for months. He?s unconventional and vulnerable and he knows how to use both to make a lasting impression.
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is not one of my favourite films this year, far from it. But it?s a respectable first film for any director. Even if one expects more from this one. It is, then, at best an above-average film, but since you won?t find any half-stars from me, I?m going to go with an average rating ? that?s two out of five for Abbas Tyrewala?s Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.
But make sure you watch it. Watch it for some sparkling dialogue, some fantastic music, but most of all, watch it for Imran and Genelia who conceal the film?s many flaws.
Rating: 3 / 5 (Average) |

What fun yaar . I don’t remember the last time I laughed in a movie so much . & none of it is forced or over the top , but we are made to laugh through superb natural acting , funny –everyday one-liners & funny situations . thanku abbas tyrewala for giving us this movie . Story of two friends who r in love – everybody knows it from their friends to families the only person who doesn’t are they . only when somebody else comes into their life do they realie the love for each other . nothing novel in the story something that I did not expect from one of the countrys top writers but what makes the movie a funn watch is the resentation from writer & director abbas tyrewaala . add to that 3 of the best cameos by Paresh Rawal ( a wasted actor in other movies, whatb a talent) , arbaaz- Sohail Khan , Naseeruddin shah . the film is so well written & presented that even the most clichéd climax scene in the airport is sure to bring the house down .add to that lines like – when Genelia comes crying to the brilliant Ratna Pathak Shah wondering how did college end so quickly , the answer she get is ‘phone pai beta ‘ . it is these relatable one liners that make u laugh at once . Then there are the performances just abt everybody is so natural from the four friends who are brilliant to smita patils son who has just 3 scenes but leaves a impact to even the gaurds at te airport . genelia Dzousa is outstanding . she does have a diction problem but her expression are outstanding . Imraan is a natural he is stiff in some places butis confident & hardly seems to act . Music is in sync with hip feel of the m0vie , outstanding. Cinematography is efficient . At the end of the day this movie belong to Abbas Tyrewaala what a first film .; I m definitely going to watch it again . its a great film where u will forget ur problems & would yearn to go back to ur school or college days where u will number Aditis & the group having a blast in their life . |

I liked the movie. There is nothing speical about it. No strong storyline. No big starcast. No mesmerizing moments. No earth shattering background score. And yet, I liked the movie. And this is why... First, it takes you back memory lane to good ol' college days. When everyone went to college to hang out with friends, to have fun and just chill. It reminds you of the strong friendships that we make in college. The "gang" that we take for granted and assume will last forever. The innocence, ambitions, and charm of the age, are special to one and all. Second, the lead pair are very convincing,as two college friends, who think they are the best pals, and do not believe in the love angle till it becomes a triangle. Very true and pure emotions. Imran is good,as the chocolate boy,who every girl in college has a cruch on. The simple guy,who loves mom and his friends. A job well done. Genelia is a refreshing face. The no make-up gives her a genuine brat look that the character is going for. Nice couple, good scripting of the lead pairs scenes and dialogue, makes one smile at their ignorance of their feelings towards each other and yet, the innocence of their beliefs. Third, each and every relationship either big or small has been brought out very well. Be it the friends, or the mother and son, or the mom-dad and daughter, or the brother-sister. Very real and loving. Yet, all of them have been potrayed with a humourous angle, thus not making it heavy for the audience. In the end I would say, it is a simple movie about how two college friends realize they are in love with each other. It is woven with a fine set of indian values in families and modern thinking in friends. It is a movie that makes you smile and think back to your own college days. Beautifully done! Bravo! |

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! |

I liked only NaseeruddinShaw, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan in this movie. I liked the part where Imraan rides a horse to fetch Genelia. The music of the movie is perfect. A. R. Rehman has proved himself again in this movie. So overall the movie can be watched only once.
UR BOTH R SUPERB
