Jab We Met

Jab We Met is definitely one of the best movies I've seen so far. Everything is very nice about this movie, totally perfect.

My Reviews: Kareena Kapoor - She really impressed me with this movie. I love how the way she portrayed the lovable & talkative Geet to the sensitive & sad Geet on the second half. She is the life of the movie, no doubt.

Shahid Kapoor - We all know that Shahid is a good actor, but in this movie, we saw something different. We are used to see Shahid in chocolate, college stories, but Jab We Met proved that he can do serious roles without any problems.

Music: Mauja Hi Mauja would definitely my favorite. They saved the best for the last. Mauja Hi Mauja is the best song for the film. But for some reason, it reminded me of "Macarena" (a popular Spanglish song) and "Simarik" (a famous Turkish song).

Story: It's really a very predictable story, but I can say it's refreshing. Why? Most Bollywood movies have heroines that are very "damsel-in-distress" and have no relevance in the story. Jab We Met, on the other hand, has a female for a lead. You can see a woman's pain when she's heartbroken, which I can say is very realistic and I can totally relate to it.

Overall, 9/10 is my rating. Good movie, good actors, good story, good music. Very good. :)

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 love everything about Indian movies. Even if they sometimes come as unrealistic, but this movie is something different. I've had the misfortune of watching many movies that were either too unrealistic or too westernised which made them lose that special magical Indian touch.

This movie had that touch. Kareena proved that she can indeed act without over-acting and the chemistry between her and Shaheed was incredible. Shaheed also proved that he can be taken as a serious actor.

I loved the songs and the simplicity of the sets. there were no over-budgeted scenes of Indians living abroad. This movie was all in all Indian in its essence and that's what made it a big hit.

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.
