Kya Jaane Tu??

at 3:11 pm

"Jaane tu ya Jaane na" turned out to be this year's biggest hit. After all this publicity, this movie was one I have been looking forward to.

Aamir Khan's (read: Perfectionist Khan) production turned out to be good actually and this movie has made its way into my all time favorites list.

All those reviews I ve read and came across, I dont feel like writing one of my own, but I am jotting down some things I liked about the movie.

Prateik Babbar has made his presence felt even though he was not publicised being his commercial debut (arrey bai mommy se kuch to inherit kiya hi hoga).
All the characters have been justified of their roles, be it Meghna's dreamy, sloppiness or Aditi's brother's recklessness, not forgetting Khan brothers' un-uselessness turning out to be Jai's cousins.
Music by my personal fave Rehman, 'Kabhi Kabhi Aditi' and not to dis remember "Dil kabhi ganda, kabhi hai nek banda".
The use of "tu- tadak" in the movie gives it stature of being associated with ourselves.
The movie doesnt revolve around the protagonists only, but it gives the feel of the whole gang being involved in the script (though the start and the climax of the movie were both typical bolly and reminded of 'Shahrukh Khan's Chalte Chalte').
Naseer- ud- din Shah's character was simply awesome, though Paresh Rawal was wasted.

Jaane Aditi ya Jaane na ye to intermission ke pehle hi pata chal jata hai, movie ki story line me kuch naya nahi tha, but thi beautifully presented. Main to ye jaanu ki Imtiaz Ali ke baad Abbas Tyrewala is the next big thing in Bollywood.
