Jaane Tu.. Ya Jaane Na... : Old wine in new botle!

Old-age story of friendship<->Love complication presented in a fresh way. A light hearted comedy, will keep you glued to seat. Though some yawning moments, romantic moments will score over them. In short an admirable effort.

Story plot:
As the punch line of this movie says, 'when you know its Love', the story revolves around two friends, (Yes opposite sex friends), claim that they are 'just friends' (Grr...Gimme a break plz!). The feeling of 'just friends' vanishes as soon as they see their friend with some other partner. Probably this is 716th movie made on these lines..!

Debutant Imran Khan makes a promising attempt with his decent acting skills and good chemistry with Genelia. Imran reminds of his uncle Aamir's first movie "QSQT", both with his looks and facial expressions! Genelia... Uhh... I see her an overrated actress (?). The short, Big-teethed cute girl needs to work a lot on Hindi dialogue delivery. There is a distinct difference in being innocent and 'trying to be' one. She is just OK.

Strengths:
1. Refreshing screenplay, good character roles and fresh music.
2. Imran Khan is very impressive. Yes yet another impressive khan!
3. Light hearted comedy, especially Nasiruddin Shah, Paresh rawal and Ratna Pathak makes you laugh your heart out.

Weakness:
1. Pathetic and Boring story line.
2. I repeat, Pathetic and Boring story line.
3. Second half's pace and predictability.

Since its a low budget movie, its paisa vasool for the producer and distributers. In spite of predictable love story, fresh presentation of the plot will make viewers paisa vasool as well. Go with no expectation and you will not regret watching this movie. If not a huge hit, its going to be a movie talked about, and surely will score more points among college students. So don't miss, go and have fun with your friends, a respectful 6/10 for this surprise good movie of this year.
