Jaane tu....

Aamir Khan must be upset with me. I did not watch his movie in the first week !

However, after reading my review he surely would be at ease. I've got to be honest with my readers. The movie lacked stars, the music was bad, the performances were not award winning, there was no great comedy, action, etc. Inspite of this Jaanu tu...ya jaane na connected with me. The innocence in the performances of all actors was refreshing. All characters were someone you could relate to. While there was no great comedy, the entire movie was fun filled, simple and light hearted. I certainly liked Imran Khan and expect him to take over the reigns from his mamu over the years. Genelia was good but seemed uneasy with her Hindi. The supporting cast was very good as well. Paresh Rawal was wasted, which was a let down for me. The other let down was Mr.A.R Rehman - I actually doubt this was his music.

All in all a nice film certainly worth a watch. No wonder that the AMC 30 theatre at Barrington, Illinois, USA which screened this flick was crowded. Just to mention the screens with Will Smith's Hancock (supposedly a block buster) were greeted with empty chairs as against an almost full upper house for Jaane tu....Way to go Indian film industry (Mr.Amitabh Bachchan and I do not like to use the term 'Bollywood') !

I would give the film 7.5/10 !

You did not like the music?!

Mr. PDS, the music is one of the strong points of the movie. It might interest you to know that it has become a rage with many people.

A visit to the ENT clinic is in order, maybe?

Well....thank you for the comments. However I think I am entitled to my opinion. Maybe, I expect too much from AR.
