Movie Report
Jaane Tu... Yaa Jaane Na... is a simple love story repackaged with intelligence, but it's more of an Archie-Jughead-Veronica-Betty kind of a plot, set in the current milieu. Jaane Tu...Yaa Jaane Na is not a different film from others. Basically this is simple story about a group of friends and focuses on the couple that is in love.
The group of friends on whom the story rests simply rock. Everyone knows their part and pitch in to compliment the other with their intrinsic characteristic etched out for them by the director. No one goes overboard here. There's Nirav Mehta (Jiggy), Alishka Varde (Bombs), Karan Makhija (Rotlu), and Sugandha Gargh (Shaleen). They together with Imran Khan (Jai Singh Rathore) and Genelia D'Souza (Aditi) form the core group that carries the film through out.
Jai [Imran Khan] and Aditi [Genelia] are buddies. In fact, they hang out with their group of friends, but have eyes for each other only. Their friends know that Jai and Aditi are perfect for each other. Their parents know this as well. Everybody knows this. But the real story begins when the four friends are on their way to the airport to fetch Jai and Aditi who are coming back from the US. They have with them a new member, Mala, Jiggy's girlfriend. Since the flight is delayed and Mala is confused as to why she came to the airport when she does not even know the two, the four decide to tell her a story. She agrees when told that this here is no ordinary love story. So along with Mala, director Abbas Tyrewala begins telling us the story of Jai and Aditi, two inseparable friends all through their college life and whom everyone thinks are serious about each other. When Aditi's parents broach the topic of marriage to Jai, everyone is in shock, because their friendship is truly platonic. Or is it?
Don't expect fireworks or melodrama in this film. It's an extremely simple, uncomplicated tale that never goes over the top. The bonding amongst friends is well established. So is the relationship that Ratna Pathak Shah shares with her deceased husband's portrait [reminds you of Ashok Saraf-Priya Tendulkar relationship in the popular comedy show HUM PAANCH].
On the acting front every member of the cast stands out, but the film belongs to Imran and Genelia. Imran has been presented as the boy-next-door and that works in his favor. He has screen presence and acts very well for a first timer. Genelia adds freshness to her scenes. What makes you take to Genelia is her spontaneity. Also, the mischievous look in her eyes conveys sorrow with equal ease.
Paresh Rawal (Inspector Wagmahare), Rajat Kapoor and Kitu Gidwani as Manjari's parents, Jayant Kriplani and Anuradha Patel (Aditi's parents), Ratna Pathak (Jai's mother) and Prateik Babbar (Amit) stand out in their small roles. Even Naseeruddin Shah, Jai's dead father has his moments from the 'frame' where his image is hung! Rawal is excellent, Sohail and Arbaaz as the cowboys who ride on horseback in the city are hilarious. Rajat and Kitu as the 'always fighting' couple give a telling performance while Jayant and Anuradha express well what every teenager's parents go through. Manjari holds her own in her few scenes as someone who is fiercely in love with her parents. Nirav as the Gujju lad is awesome, so is Sugandha. She has a striking screen presence and is a spontaneous actress. Prateik is a revelation. It shows that acting is indeed in the genes.
On the whole the whole approach is new in this film. It is a complete love story with a few familiar scenes. It creates interest from the very first scene to the last one. The film definitely comes in with an air of freshness with the likes of Genelia and Imran. It's sure to impress at least the youth. As for Genelia and Imran, they have left behind their footprints in Bollywood.

Imran and genelia were so talented with the movie. It was feeling like it was rwal thing going on.
I love the 2 songs from which are the best up to date:
"kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi" (If you like slow songs)
"Pappu can't dance sala" (If you are fond of dancing and fast moves)
Well I like both of them because I am 50-50 of the bracket information.
J'aime ce film!!!!!!!!
