Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na (2008)

Fantastic!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This movie is not Art or anything neither is it funny enough to hurt your stomach. But this is a very cute movie and it sure delivers entertainmentHindi movies generally tend to be dumb. Weak plots,black and white characters and entire movie depending on unbelievable coincidences happening again and again and again (I advise non Indians to stay away from Akshay kumars' comedies specially)But this This is quite different. It has many many subplots, colorful characters. And most important a genuine script that screams of originality. You can't guess what happens next scene. (broadly speaking yes you know but exact execution tends to be unpredictable, not many cliché's etc) Things fall into place like clockwork in the end and i couldn't hope for something funnier and in line with the story.I would say this has the feeling of big fish, my sassy girl(Korean one) The family stone mostly and in a tiny way reminds me of the Spanish apartmentThere is something about the main group of youngsters that radiates freshness and free spiritedness, I cannot put a finger on it but it feels like you know this group, you've seen people like this what they feel and how they are going to end up. And the mother, well she rocks big time:)I loved every moment she was on screen :)And come to think of it the movie never became ugly for a sec a bit clichéd around the end but never boring or even close to unbearable If you like this i think you may like one of these Pyaar Ka Superhit Formula or(exclusive or :P) Taxi No. 9211 or Dil chahta haiAnd sadly to the non Indian viewer There are'nt many movies like this in bollywood only the recent ones a re similar something with aamir khan and not very mainstream would be a good choice.

What else should we expect? The first promo itself said this is a fun romantic college kinda film This is a Kuch Kuch Hota Hai type film, thankfully there is no much heroic style or fake college scenes here the crowd is real and thankfully the heroes and heroines are not worshiped though the scenes involving the characters at the start(at the airport) and the entire story telling style could be done without every time focus shifted, it got boring The entire cat scene looks too childish while the entire farewell track is nice and then the scenes between Genelia and Imran are cute Even Manjiri's part is good The Sohail- Arbaaz scenes are quite funny first but get repetitive The Prateik Babbar part is the best part, it actually needed more time Towards the end however the film gets boring, with the entire horse part and the airport scene looking too bad and childishDirectorally Abbas shows a flair for light entertainers, after writing lines and screenplay for Munnabhai MBBS and LRMB he shows he can be a good director Music is good and suits the filmPerformances are nice Imran Khan looks the part, performs well in serious, romantic and comic scenes and also reminds of his uncle Genelia is awesome, this is her true heroine role, she does a g8 job even manjiri is good While Prateik babbar is outstanding in his role Ratna and Naseeruddin Shah have a great chemistry and their acting is great Paresh Rawal is funny after a long time, he steals many scenes Arbaaz Khan and Sohail are funny at times irritating at times

Its no surprise that this movie carries u away to a different world of "meon" n "ratz". The producer himself is Mr perfectionist, Aamir Khan and the music by the music maestro Rehman.. And if this wasn't all then the brilliant acting done by Imraan and also by Genelia D'Souza makes this movie to deserve 10/10... i wonder if anybody can point out to any scene and say "this could have been better" I real lyf Pappu(as described in the movie as non dancer) will also not be able to stop his feet on the tunes of the movie. The youth is no doubt liking the movie and so the children and the adults. In the end as everyone knows-The movie ROCKS!!!!

So much has already been written here about this film, in fact, there's nothing new to add for me, yet I'm compelled to write about it. This in itself proves what kind of film this is. You just need to talk about this film...with everyone.What's to like? The music, the direction, the freshness of the characters, the cinematography, the fact that there are no aging Khans & the fact that most of the script is repeated by us while amongst our friends which makes it easy to relate with the characters.What's not to like? Nothing...What could have been better? The acting, but then let's not forget that most of the actors in it as new comers. So it's excusable.If you haven't yet watched the movie stop reading this and get going.
