Its ‘Jaane Tu…Ya jaane na’,which means ‘You know or you don’t’. I have heard good reviews of this movie from friends before I went to watch it. Everyone said the movie was a good one. So I decided to venture it on the last show on 10th July ,Thursday.
I have often believed that a movie is all about direction accompanied by acting. And ‘Jaane Tu’ is more about direction than anything else. It’s a run of the mill story, with a debutant actor with limited acting capabilities accompanied by pretty ordinary music score by a music maestro and yet it’s a wonderful movie to watch.
Right from the casting to the way the movie is presented everything makes it a refreshing experience. Along the movie you would imagine the movie was written keeping Imran in mind and not the other way around. His acting in-capabilities actually becomes the USP for this movie. Amazing yet so true. Genelia has a perfect role to suit her kind of character and the other characters in the movie are as believable as it can get.
The story is ordinary considering the fact that two college friends who does not know that there lives have become so close that they are actually in love(The others surrounding their lives actually believes so). Eventually they decide to help each other finding life partner. When the guy finally finds a gal the other gal realizes she is in love with him. Subsequently ego clashes leads to a final airport scene where the hero breaks all security and expresses his love for the leading lady. Yaaawwwn. So boring .
But believe me this story is so wonderfully told in the movie that you will fall in love with it. Firstly the guy is a ‘cowardly Rajput’ sounds like an oxymoron. That’s where the movie scores. Its goes beyond the convention of celluloid cinema. The hero is like one of us. The other characters actually blends so well with the movie that one can relate to them instantly. The imagery of the hero’s dad communicating to his mom through his wall painting is an innovative and amazing concept that adds that ‘zing’ to the movie. The humor is very subtle and stands beyond the normal run of the mill slap stick comedy. The portrayal of the ‘Meao’ and ‘Rats’ with there uninhabited friendship actually breathes in fresh life into otherwise boring movies releasing every now and then. Ratna Pathak,Paresh Rawal, Sohail and Arbaaz Khan have wonderful cameos to themselves. Naseeruddin Shah who is exceptional as ‘The Wallpainting’ Dad actually adds the extra comic flavour to the movie. The 3 hours movie will keep you engrossed with its story telling and refreshing brilliance. Not to mention the climax which ends in an Airport scene. You must have watched lots of this airport scene climax. But this one is just a bit different and wonderfully enjoying.
The movie actually raises a question when do you think you are in love? And off course makes it a point to answer it. At times we search of paradise without knowing that it’s at our arms length. The movie actually defines a thin line that separates friendship and love. The truth that always prevails is the person you love is actually your best friend ‘Jaane Tu …ya Jaane na’.
