Jab We Met

Inspite of some frivolous mistakes the movie is worth watching once... Shahid has a decent look n more over the spectacle he wears throughout the movie suits him perfectly... coming to the story... Its an ordinary love story scripted differently... Aditya(Shahid kapoor) son of a successful industrialist is dumped by his girlfriend. Depressed aditya attempt suicide by jumping fro train... but Gita(kareena kapoor) stops him... later a series of events occurs resulting in landing of Aditya at Gita's house... Durin this period Aditya learns to take things easily n Gita teaches him to listen to his heart more often n do rather than what has to be done n not to think much bout result... Gita's marriage is fixed with her childhood friend... But Gita is hell bent upon not marrying him,so she tells aditya abt her plans of running away from the house uninformed.aditya initially opposes but later helps her in doing the act. .. Aditya leaves Gita at Manali where her Boyfriend lives... Aditya returning to his normal life achieves thunderous success having learnt the "art of living" from gita... ... But what happens to Gita? Is she happy with whatever decision she took?? watch the movie for answer... Climax is as expected... Music is wonderful... Cinematography is good... Shahid and Kareen are wonderful...

If a director has courage and the guts to take an outdated story line and execute it to a perfection that is altogether to a new height; new level, the director seriously has got some talent. If you ask me a good/talented director is all you need to get the best out of everything; be it a story line, situation or performers. Same situation same actors has brought such a new , absolute fresh piece of cinema, which probably would have been another needle in the hack had it been directed by any run of the mill director. The store line is the usual girl meets boy on a journey moving towards their own destinations and eventually fall in love but again the execution is so damn superb and realistic that no situation in the movie looks out of place. The dialogs are sparkling despite being mature. The funny moments are truly funny and emotions look absolute real. U immediately relate to them. Over all the chemistry Imtiaz Ali (who directed soocha na tha) manages to built between the lead characters is stunning, absolute real, natural and believable, I have not seen (and I am sure people would agree) such a sweet and heart warming chemistry in any romantic couple for a loooong time. Music is good as well with 2 absolutely amazing romantic songs........"Tum he se" and "Aaoge jab tum". People specially couples whose heart throb with a universal feeling called love go and watch the movie, you would come out mesmerized by the romantic extravaganza.......trust me.

I have grown up watching so many Hindi flicks, which invariably are love stories by the way. However, there is something different about this movie which sets it apart from the usual stuff. It is fresh and young - something which is missing these days. The songs too keep playing in your head long after you've listened to them. In short, it is not a drag.

Both Shahid Kapur and Kareena seem to be at their peak in this movie. I don't know how to compare their roles in this movie to ones in their previous flicks, but I must admit that they make a good pair. Kareena's excessively talkative personality matches very nicely with Shahid's reserved character. There are no villains too.

It is a pity that Shahid and Kareena will not be starring together in the foreseeable future...Enjoy! (8/10)

Imtiaz Ali's 'Jab We Met' is cinema at its best! One of the finest Romanctic love stories to come out of Indian Cinema. A simple story told in the most interesting and enjoyable manner. The film's first hour is enjoyable, the second is exactly the same. 'Jab We Met' holds your attention from almost start to end, leaving the viewer completely satisfied. The film was a success at the box office, and has remained to be a fan favorite. Thumbs up!

Songs: The sound-track is a brownie point. Tum Se Hi and Mauja Hi Mauja are superb songs.

Performances: Kareena Kapoor is outstanding. She got all the awards in the best actress category and she, without a doubt deserved them. Shahid Kapur is fantastic. He's natural from start to end. Pawan Malhotra and Dara Singh are good in supporting role. Samuya Tandon looks cute. Tarun Arora is adequate.

On the whole, 'Jab We Met' is a pure example of entertaining cinema. As said before, its one the finest romantic films to come out of Indian Cinema in years.

I am new to Indian movies. But I think I have just fallen in love with Kareena Kapoor. Honestly, I think this actress is more charismatic than any of the big Hollywood or European names I know right now. Wouldn't be surprised if the whole world will soon know about her. Tell me if you know any American or European actress who can even start to level with her in terms of style and beauty - and most of all - charm. None! Because of her, this movie is one of the most endearing love stories I have ever seen. It just makes you fall in love - what better can you say about a romance? And I am not usually interested in these kinds of movies, plus this is only about the 5th bollywood movie I have ever seen.
