Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na Gallery

Story telling can be of so much fun that one converts from a nagging girl friend to a most exciting and loving girl friend after hearing the story of this two young jubilant friends, who did not know about love and finally found that “ Oh ! We are in love Yaar !’....... kind of fantasy. Clean Movie no muscle flexing Hero, no crying or always in distress heroines. No nagging parents neither any social constraints , no showing of flesh or not even a single vulgar scene.......they all are guys and girls come to this earth with silver spoon in their mouth. But they can’t decide whether they are in love or not.......... friends, they can really make life beautiful as they make in this film............ a really fun-filled freak.

The opening scene, when Meaw (Our Heroine) mourns over her cat’s death, took me down the memory lane when as a teen I used to keep three beautiful cats and of course mourn for days together for their death of course on different years and dates...You know three mournings.... Only who has got a pet cat he/she can feel the pain.....

When three Rathod brothers explored that they are long lost chachera brothers...ooofff......Thank god I didn’t fall off my chair...That was really hilarious..

The last scene when Hero fulfils the three doctrines of Rathod Khandan , to beat/hit somebody, to go to jail and to ride a horse and goes riding a horse to the Mumbai airport and his worried Mom happens to see him on her way to police station and says with a sigh in her breath, “ No he is not my son, he is my husband’s son.” was just good enough to split you into laughter...The role of Naseeruddin Shah inside the framed photo and Ratna Shah was too good.....Lovely movie and make you forget your age, problems and tensions for 2 and half hrs and the after effect is that you just keep on laughing remembering the sequences and scenes........

Parting line....... a must see....I even will buy one CD to watch it again....Huh....

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na marks the acting debut of Aamir Khan’s nephew Imraan Khan. Abbas Tyrewala of Munnabhai M.B.B.S and Main Hoon Na fame (as a writer) has scripted and directed this fun flick mainly targetted at the youth. This is also the first movie from Aamir Khan productions to not feature the superstar himself. But any product that Aamir lends his name to, is keenly anticipated and be rest assured, high on quality. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is no exception!

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is about Jai Singh Rathore a.k.a Rats (Imraan Khan), a Rajput who doesnt believe in violence and Aditi Mahant a.k.a Meow (Genelia D’Souza), a cute and violent girl. Aditi feels Jai is a big coward and Jai says her parents should have rinsed her mouth with soap! They fight like crazy but just cant live without each other. They are almost a made for each other couple, their parents know this, friends know it, but they believe they are just great friends, no more, no less. Does friendship turn into love?

Jane Tu Ya Jane Na Review

Whatever Aamir Khan touches seems to be turning into gold. First Lagaan, then Taare Zameen Par and now Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, although not in the same league, is yet another classic from Aamir Khan productions. What works for Jaane Tu is the well etched characters, performed brilliantly by the actors. Its not just the main characters, but even the supporting characters that add a lot of value to Jaane Tu.

Director Abbas Tyrewala has executed the script with brilliance. The first half is almost flawless, a simple tale of friendship and love, that either makes you smile or laugh. The second half, could have been better.. it tends to drag a tad bit at times and gets predictable when Genelia is engaged. The writer should have opted for a different climax and made it slightly more believable. The dialogues are witty, hilarious at times and brilliant. The music by A.R. Rehman is perfect for the movie. “Pappu cant dance saala” and “Kabhi Kabhi” stand out.

Scenes that stand out in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

  • Aditi’s parents and Jai’s discussion on the engagement. Funny!
  • Aditi wonders how the 5 years passed by. “On the phone beta” says Jai’s mom.
  • Scene between Amit and Aditi, his confession. Heart warming and brilliant!
  • Aditi begins to realise her love for Jai only when Manjari Phadnis enters the scene. The jealousy, sadness and regret is executed and performed perfectly.
  • When Amit takes Aditi into his room.
  • Scenes between Jai’s mother and his dead father (he talks from a portrait). Hilarious!
  • The chemistry between the gang of 6 friends.
  • Honestly I didnt like the climax, but the performance by Genelia and Imraan, when surrounded by the cops, makes an impact.

I can just go on and on, great moments make a great movie and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na has simply fantastic moments in abundance.

Coming to the performances, Imraan Khan reminded me a lot of Aamir Khan, especially the mischievious grin. Imraan overall makes a solid debut, not once does he go over the top. A good restrained performance, this actor will surely go a long way. Genelia D’Souza’s expressions alone are worth the price of the ticket. She oozes cuteness and performs well. Manjari Phadnis looks good, acts well. Ratna Pathak Shah is superb as always. Paresh Rawal makes you laugh a couple of times. Naseeruddin Shah in a short role is just perfect. The director has managed to extract excellent performances from every other character actor.

Overall, Jaane Tu is immensely enjoyable and high on entertainment. If your looking for a movie on friendship and love, that makes you smile and laugh at times. Dont miss it! At the box-office, the lacklustre performance of Love Story 2050 along with good word out mouth should ensure a HIT status atleast!
