Review of Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na (2008) by Terri H — 28 Apr 2009

Here is an intriguing movie with a great story plot that follows a group of amazing friends telling a love story to a date of one of the pal?s, at an airport. As the group convinces Mala (the outsider) that love is truly a magnificent story, and that friendship is ultimately a wondrous gift that anyone could have.

Mala is highly convinced that love, friendship, and commitment is truly bland and pointless. They decide to tell the story of their closest friends, Jai and Aditi. Jai and Aditi are best friends, and have always been close in college.

As their companionship is mistaken for a love relationship, the two are set on finding a love interest for each other. Jai meets Meghna who is sweet and innocent, and the two are inseparable. This leaves Aditi feeling lonely and abandoned, as she watches her best friend embarking into a close relationship with Meghna.

She begins to realize that she is in love with Jai, and decides to put space between themselves. She meets Sushant, the son of her father?s friend and a guy who is everything that she wanted in a guy.

It is then that she decides to give love and Sushant a chance, and tells the group about her immediate engagement. This leaves Jai feeling all sorts of emotional turmoil, and completely uncertain about Meghna.

It is Aditi?s choice to travel to America when he realizes that he loves Aditi. Directed by Abbas Tyrewala, and Aamir Khan produces. Great cast- Genelia D?Souza, Imran Khan, Manjari Fadnis, Paresh Rawal, Ratna Pathak, Naseeruddin Shah, Arbaaz Khan, and Sohail Khan.

Great musical score by my ultimate favorite composer, A.R. Rahman. Great song: Kabhi Kabhi Aditi. Absolutely love the close friendship ties and dynamics of their small group. Definitely worthy!!
