Review: Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na?




The highly anticipated debut for Imran Khan released last Friday and I got to catch it with my friends on my B'day (9th). The movie had gone down well with the critics and I was hoping it lived up to the hype. It sure did.
The story of the extremely non-violent Jai (Imran) and his cool gang, consisting of his college friends including Aditi (Genelia) may not pop your eyes out with the storyline, but sure will make you laugh a thousand times till your jaws hurt. The story begins each of the friends getting introduced and moves on as Aditi and Jai are 'good friends'. There's a portrait of the late Amar Rathore (Naseeruddin Shah), who was Jai's father and a true Rajput and a great warrior, who speaks through the portrait and express his disgust at his son's Gandhi-ist values. Soon, Aditi finds Jai a girlfriend and when they start bonding, she gets jealous. That's when she knows its love. But what about Jai?
With huge amounts of comedy, great songs (Mr. Rehman knows his work, as usual) and portrayal of the college youth in a prefect manner, this movie wins your heart over. The movie just looks so fresh that you get stuck to it from the first second onwards. And the climax, a perfect Bolly-style ending at an Airport.
Well, that's all for the spoils at the moment, incase you haven't seen it yet. But it would rate as one of the few good hindi movies this year so far.
I'll give it a healthy 7/10. A must watch.
