When the film was released I was busy packing my stuff to fly. So, i was not able to catch with the reviews of the critics. But, I know the film should be good as Aamir Khan and Abbas Tyrewala are behind it.After Settling down in USA, I catched the film in the net. Intially, I have seen the promos and deducted that it will be about college romance and poor guy rich girl story with twist. Yes, it is a love story no doubt, but, its a love story.
Well, in the past it was parents and zamaana which kept them apart. But that story's kind of been done to death (no pun intended).
With DDLJ we moved to the 'must win parents over', only then.
With Dil Chahta Hai the parents became irrelevant and it was only the two individuals figuring out what they wanted for themselves. The complication being one was already engaged.
Jaane Tu is the next step in the evolution of romance in India: Two best friends who truly believe, "Hey we are NOT in love!"
Everyone knows that they can't live without each other, but still they don't accept and finally in the end the do. OK, I told you it's a love story. So what's the big deal. The big deal is the treatment. Its so contemporary. The group going together for movies, parties, etc. The cool set of parents which you tend to find nowadays. The jealous boyfriend with long list of ex. The lost brother who is an amazing artist.
Everything is so well placed that you feel that you are part of them. But this is a film so there has to be some unreal stuff. :) I am talking about the 'Rathore from Ranjhaur' aspect. Ok, it was comical and fun. But so unreal.
The one liners are great. It has to be with Abbas Tyrewala as script writer.
Overall i enjoyed the film immensely. If i would have been back in India, I would surely would have catched he film in theatres. It's sure must watch film and it has repeat value too.
