Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Abbas Tyrewala has launched out as a director and the perfectionist Aamir khan has ventured his second project after overwhelming ‘Taare Zameen Par’. So, the movie buffs held their breath as the long awaited Jaane tu Ya Jaane Na hit the screen.

The film starts in a car with a gang of a few kids from the brand new generation buzzing a popular Bollywood number- jaane tu ya jaane na…. Abbas was very clear right from the first shot that he is going to sing an old song that is being chorused for generations.

Yeh raha tera humsafar, kisko dhunde dil ki mehfil me?
Jai (role played by Imraan khan) and Aditi (role played by Genelia D’ Souza ) sharing an amazing friendship for five years in college suddenly drop in an odd situation as their parents move on to tie their knot mistaking that they must be in love. To prove to others that they were only friends and nothing more they decide to find each other a love partner. Subsequently two other characters join the story as Jai’s girlfriend and Aditi’s fiancé. Nevertheless, the problem occurs as they find little time to spend with each other as they did before and realize that their parents were right, they are in love.

Baat to wahi hai, na? bus wohi baat nahi-
Love, romance, jealousy, action, drama and ‘mother’, every single thing, that is important to craft a story for a Hindi film was there. Things went fine weaving the hot and heady compositions by Master Rahman, for whom Abbas himself penned exceptional lyrics.

For the first time Hindi-film-viewers heard that bloody clash albeit ‘filmi mardangi’ is a tag of shame and you have a choice to hate ‘it’ instead of being a man. Genelia D’souza, is obviously a jovial addition to the credit that keeps up your energy till the end. ‘Aditi’ is conceived as a contrast to the ‘white butterflies’. Unlike the other heroines she uses abusive language, jumps in a bash spontaneously and to give a break, she doesn’t have a problem in kissing before marriage.

Pappu must dance-

But as the Hindi proverb goes- latho’ ke bhoot baato’ se nahi mante!, the script compromises a little bit. Imraan just like the other male leads rides a horse and knocks out the bad man to celebrate chivalry on screen. Thus, Janne Tu Ya Jane Na becomes a perfect debut for Imraan khan as a hero in hindi films, who has hundred reasons to be an apple of the eye if he gains a little more confidence. But Abbasian intelligence stays at distance by cracking a joke on screen- we learn such things in mother’s womb.

Maane tu ya mane na….
Nope, nobody out there was expecting a thought provoking narrative. We just went out for a fresh, smart and intelligent love story. We knew it’s just another romance but wisely put together just like ‘Jab We Met. For sure I wasn’t over expecting from Abbas if I wanted him to tell the story in a bit different way from Aziz Mirza or not to declare ‘love’ as just an aftermath of jealousy like the other Hindi films?

I liked it. I would rate it as watchable. It was a lot better than the previous one I watched in PVR - Sarkar Raj.

I must say movie is good. It is able to convey the message, generally we don’t know what “we really like” and we are living in an imaginary world. It’s always good to realize the truth at time.
