Review of Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na (2008) by J K — 10 Mar 2010
In 1989, Aamir Khan & Juhi Chawla debuted with ''Oayamat Se Qayamat Tak'' which is still referred as the best love story (inspiration of William Shakespeare's ROMEO & JULIET) After many years, ''Jaane Tu Ya...Jaane Na'' arrives which is a love story.
Here there is neither parental opposition nor any caste discrimination, Heroine doesn't were chiffon saree and flirts hero neither hero breaks the petal of rose and say ''she loves me'' ''she loves me not''. The movie is about college buddies, within them Aditi and Jai. Both are best friends and more of a lover.
The story is old-fashioned, no denial in it. But what work is the cuteness and refreshness in it. The screenplay is tight with so many lovely moments like the scenes focusing on the buddies, the sequence where Aditi's parents convince Jai to get married (hilarious) etc etc Believe me there are such great moments which I can't describe in words, also the climax which appears filmy too acts as a coolent.
A.R.Rahman's music is spell-binding!!! ''Kabhi Kabhi Aditi'', ''Pappu can't dance saala'', ''Nazrain Milana'' ,''Kahin To'' all these songs touches your heart instantly (I still hear these songs even after a year of it's release).
IMRAN KHAN & GENELIA D'SOUZA are just fantastic, there is no fakeness or over-acting from their side. They actually add freshness in their role, u emphatize with them because somewhere or the other u find urself in them. It is not only them but also the supporting characters who sparkles like the buddies, They compliment each other so beautifully. KARAN MAKHIJA is cute as ''Rothdu'' whereas his girlfriend ALISHKA VARDE is endearing as ''Bombs'', SUGANDHA GARG makes an undeniable impression as the feisty Shaleen and NIRAV MEHTA as ''Jiggy'' who delivers some genuinely comic moments. Even PRATEIK BABBAR makes his presence feel in a short yet significant role. RATNA PATHAK SHAH & MANJARI PHADNIS (Meghna) are highly competent.
Overall, JAANE TU YA...JAANE NA is a refreshing love-story. Watch it for the fascinating performance, endearing characters and heart-warming moments.
