'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' is directed by Abbas Tyrewala. The debutante director has handled a
several times used story in a deft manner and he has shown that with a good presentation and
narration, even a known subject can be impressive. The whole film was executed with a
different treatment. It is a love story film.
An old story with a new touch, the story begins with a group of friends and leading the boys
is Jai (Imran Khan) who is a soft spoken, cool as a cucumber guy while the girls are headed by
Aditi (Genelia) who is an absolute opposite, she is aggressive, fiery, does not hesitate to
pick up a fight and very dynamic. Both Jai and Aditi are contrasts but then they sure have the
eye for each other and though love is not expressed at all, the romance is already sensed by
Jai's parents (Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Shah) and Aditi's parents (Jayant Kripalani and
Anuradha Patel).
Also sensing it is the group of friends Jiggy (Nirav), Sugandha (Shaleen), Rotlu (Karan),
Bombs (Alishka) who share some real camaraderie and friendship. However, the question is when
do Jai and Aditi get to realize that they are in love? Things do take a sharp turn with the
arrival of love from a different angle in the form of a pretty girl (Manjari Phadnis) Do they
get to confess it to each other? What happens in the end hereafter is to be seen on the
screen.
Performances:
However, he needs to tune up his narration bit since that played the spoilsport at some valid
junctions. The dialogues are breezy, the screenplay is sensible, the script is fine but has
few loopholes. The music is outstanding while the camera has been top notch. The costumes are
trendy and the art director came up with a good job from his end. Imran Khan has come across
with an impressive performance given his debut attempt and with a low profile character, he
has surely marched into the hearts of many. On the other hand Genelia was the life and soul of
the movie and one needs to commend this pretty girl for her spontaneity in humorous and
sentimental situations with such brilliance. Naseeruddin Shah is matchless while Ratna is
interesting. Jayant and Anuradha looked graceful as the couple while Rajat Kapoor and Kitu
Gidwani looked elegant. Ayaz Khan and Prateik were revelations. Manjari is a show stealer and
she is one extraordinary beauty. The others did their bits with the required professionalism
and added value to the film.
