Jaane tu…..:|
Well, after much hype about the newcomers in the movie – Aamir Khan’s nephew Imran Khan, Genelia Dsouza the bubbling actress from the south, AR Rahman’s music, and production by Aamir Khan himself, the dynamic combination finally did release. With interviews, guest appearences, and all sorts of promotions flying around, for around 3 days, all one could hear, was “Jaane Tu.. ya jaane na”!
An old story (niram) with a modern touch, the story begins with a group of friends and leading the boys is Jai aka “rats” (Imran Khan), a rajput prince by birth, whose mother has made him swear not to ever resort to violence, while the girls are headed by Aditi aka “meow”(Genelia) who is an absolute opposite!She is aggressive, fiery, does not hesitate to pick up a fight and is very dynamic. Both Jai and Aditi are contrasts but then they sure have the eye for each other and though love is not expressed at all, the romance is already sensed by Jai’s parents and Aditi’s parents. Also sensing it is the group of friends Jiggy , Sugandha , Rotlu , Bombs who share some real brotherliness and friendship. However, the question is when do Jai and Aditi get to realize that they are in love?? Things do take a sharp turn with the arrival of love from a different angle in the form of a pretty girl Meghna, resulting in a series of episodes of jealousy, anger and hidden yet beautifully shown love.. Do they get to confess it to each other????
There are 4 songs back to back – Kabhi Kbahi Aditi, Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na, Pappu can’t dance, and Nazre milana. Really giving one a sense of being a musical, the story was told very well.
How the story progresses, what promises are broken, and what relationships made are for you to see! A special mention of the songs would be that AR Rahman has, as always outshone himself yet again with music ranging from a soppy ballad, to a peppy dance track and right down to the brilliantly popular “Kabhi Kabhi Aditi”.
All in all it is a very weak effort by the first time director Abbas Tyrewala, and the story line was nothing out of the ordinary.Not to mention, the acting performances put up by Imran Khan and Genelia, were horrendous!!! This movie however, is not for all to dislike. The ones who had been waiting for it to release will be disappointed, as the movie is neither a stunner nor a directorial marvel. Trust me, I never saw it the day it released. But some of my friends did, and to tell u the truth, they were utterly disappointed! I saw the movie today…and to be frank..i was….:|.
Maane Tu ya Maane Na……the film is a sheer waste of time and money!!

verum!..but I beg to differ my monochromatic friend..the movie was kinda okay…..
compared to tashan, love story 2050, and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna….this debutant cast movie is a blockbuster yaar!!!!
My rating is a 3.5/5 which means its watchable….it just didnt live upto the hype thats why the dissapointment…thats all…..

Hmm…actually, I think the movie deserves more credit than you are giving it. I mean, compared to the other shitty movies that have released in recent times like Tashan. Thoda Crap Thoda Shit, Sarkar Raj, et cetera, Jaane Tu was a breath of fresh air. And I laughed quite a lot.

@Merlz
I disagree….Yes.., Tashan , kismat and the thoda crap movie were shit…but sarkar raj was way better than jaane tu….at least that was what i felt…:)

Sarkar Raj was full of unnecessary whispering. Long soliloquies It was too serious. I can handle seriousness, but when you think of the movie right now, you wonder what the story actually was. After the movie got over, it didn’t stay in mind. Whereas, I was quite satisfied with my 40 bucks spent on Jaane Tu. Simple and sensible. With more than a couple of hours of laughter.
But then again, everyone has their own taste and opinion

Hmm..yes…ellarkkum oro taste unde…but jaane tu il entha itra chirikkaan ennenikku manasilaavunnilla…nasir-ud-deen shah was given a role he wud wish to forget. as soon as possible..and the guys playin the leading roles dont even kno the abc of acting…the only good part in the movie was that small scene featurin paaresh rawal……pinne korey kuthirakalum and the unnecessary inclusion of arbaz and sohail khan…ellaam makes the film a sheer waste..
As for Sarkar Raj..the actors did a commendable job…the lead actor here ,which was Amitabh Bachhan was truly amazing…and Imran khan Big B de vaalil ketti adikkaan polum kollilla…the guy had absolutely no expression…
The Only thing that ws better in jaane tu was the music..as it was done by the maestro himself… But sarkarile music otum moshamalla…
btw i am not arguing with u…..i just cudnt help it as u compared sarkar raj with tshan and the other flops…:)
