After giving us some well loved films like Maqbool, Main Hoon Naa and Munnabhai MBBS as a writer, Abbas Tyrewala has finally made his own debut as a director. And he really turns out to be the star from this movie. He has not made a film on some new subject. Rather there has been scores of movies on the same theme. But it's truly the approach and setting of the story that makes this one so different and so good.The best thing that Abbas did is not to make a hero out of his protagonists. Jaane Tu does not look like a regular launch pad where the story is almost weaved into the film, rather than vice versa. Every character in the movie is real and very much what we are at some part of our lives.

Jaane Tu.. is a story about two friends - Jai (Imran Khan) and Aditi (Genelia). They are so close that even their parents think they love each other. But they apparently don't. When college ends, they decide that they would find each other suitable partners. They do find partners but then realise they love each other.
The story can be said in a line. But the script, as it plays out, adds all the colours that could please the audience. And the screenplay is good.

The film starts with a group of friends telling a story about Jai and Aditi while waiting for them at an airport. The movie keeps on moving from flashbacks to the present as the friends narrate the story.
Jaane Tu... weaves in a lot of emotions right from friendship, love to insecurity. Every character is shown to have a definite backing. Which means a very good job by the writer. The dialogues are superb and there are some scene stealers. For example the scene where Aditi fights a college guy for calling Jai a coward. And the reaction on Jai's face when he comes to know that is marvellous. And then there is this scene when these two walk into Jai's house with Aditi crying after realising her college days are over. And then there is the scene when Aditi's parents talk to Jai about his marriage with Aditi and he answers thinking they are talking about his job. And of course, all the scenes with Naseeruddin Shah, who acts as the onscreen husband of his real life wife.


The film is not free from problems. The second half gets a bit lengthy and the number of cliches gets to us once in a while. Like the airport ending scene. But these can be overlooked.Technically, Jaane Tu.. looks a very bright movie. Cinematography is good and so is the editing. The music, which is extremely youthful, is a highlight of the movie.
Coming to the performance, Jaane Tu gives the industry an actor in Imran Khan. He truly has the capability to work it up from here. Genelia comes up with a fabulous performance. The friends - Karan (as Rotlu), Alishka (as Bombs), Nirav (as Jiggy) and Sugandha (as Shaleen) - are just right and form a wonderful group. Manjari Phadnis and Ayaz Khan leave an impact too. Ratna Pathak Shah and Naseeruddin Shah are their usual self - brilliant. And in between this whole crowd is Prateek Babbar who comes up with a solid debut performance as he plays Genalia's brother.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa is surely one movie that is going to be loved by the audience and specifically the youth. Abbas Tyrewala has arrived with a great directorial debut. Take a bow Abbas. And yes Mansoor Khan's magical touch continues.
