EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI

So what if the treatment of Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane isn’t new? So what if the film is stretched like a chewing gum in the second half? So what if the airport climax is seen over a hundred times? Jaane Tu… still manages to pull off its flaws and come out as a relief amidst the drought of hits in Bollywood.

After penning classic stories in films like Munnabhai MBBS and Maqbool, Abbas Tyrewala has chosen a simple subject to direct his debut film. The story uses the tried and tested formula of college campus which makes you feel what you missed at your college days, if not remind.

The story of Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na is not new. It revolves around a group of college friends including the coward Jai (Imran Khan) and the outspoken Aditi (Genelia D’Souza). The third angle in the love story is Meghna (Manjari Phadnis) who loves Jai.
At a junction, Jai and Aditi decide that they should look for suitable partners for the other, innocent of the fact that they are already partners.

The first four of Jaane Tu… is top rate. Everything is smooth with the show till the show begins post interval. Its here that the film starts getting dragged and elongated. The second hour also brings in a lot of forced in emotions where the audiences just wait for appearance of Jai and Aditi, who lighten up the screen in any screen.
