Jai and Aditi’s friends narrate the story to a newcomer to the group while awaiting their friends’ arrival at the airport. Sounds painfully familiar, does it? The hero rips across the screen astride a horse and clad in a mask-of-zorro costume, waving his sword menacingly. Yawn! You then realize it was but the hero’s dream. A bigger yawn! The hero wakes-up from his reverie and so must you because the story has just begun!
A light-hearted entertainer though it may be, every character in the movie has been etched out definitely. The actors are unbelievably spontaneous going by the standards of a mainstream Bollywood movie. The maturity of the maker is apparent in the way he handles the ever-sidelined relationship of a brother and sister. The possessive love of a brother grudgingly giving way to a deserving man for his sister, you will find yourself smiling unconsciously when you see it. The love-story is, needless to say, the best ever executed in Bollywood. The music is appropriately youthful. There is also a message of “non-violence to the extent possible” if you like morals for every story. Imran Khan and Genelia are worth their weight in gold.
Aur kaise koi soch le everything’s gonna be ok” hums Jai to Aditi but everything’s just perfect! We finally have a producer who makes films for the educated young Indian. First, it was the message conveying Taare Zameen Par and now the refreshingly entertaining Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.
