Caught Jaane Tu…. On Thursday night, but I have been swamped with work and never got a chance to write down my stuff on it. Also needed the time to digest what I had just watched. Finally, here we are – an actor has arrived. In the times wherein ‘want-to-be’ and backed up by ‘powerful names’, there are those who come into our celluloid lives with pumped up muscles, dancing skills and that is all they bring on screen, and expect us (which we foolishly do) to elevate them to super-stardom based on just that. Finally here is a lad, who comes with no showing-off, of his muscles, no showing off his dancing skills – instead he acts. He pulls off scenes of weakness, of humour, of romance and of anger based purely on something called ‘acting’. Take a bow Imran Khan.
Reel Life – the film to me itself was not a story in itself, it was an idea which got made into a film. The treatment wasn’t a novelty either, and on these two fronts, I was slightly disappointed. I mean, this was an Aamir Khan production, so I expected some novelty (die-hard fan of the man, aren’t I?) BUT, the film works. The teenage girls in the cinema go totally weak in the knees and the parents wish of having their daughters finally marry a lad like that. Ha ha. Perhaps not that dramatic. Well the film is about a bunch of friends, two in particular who are the best of friends and never realize that they are actually soul mates. Not something new eh? I agree, but the film pulls this off very convincingly. The climax at the airport (cliché – I know), but you cannot help but forgive the makers, simply because something works for this film. Perhaps the fact that it’s a clean, pure and a simple film. Very youthful in every sense. Very urban Indian in many ways. Real characters in today’s India.
Real Life – I love this film, because it takes you back to an era when you are in college. You will relate to some of the incidents and /or characters for sure. I found the treatment very realistic. There’s so much of love around us, and we never realize it sometimes, so the ‘real life’ message here would be to look around you and realize the love that is around you.
Cinematically – I did feel that the film stretched a bit at times. Also as mentioned earlier, I feel that this was an idea and not a complete story. There was something missing, perhaps that’s how it should be. Nothing dramatic or unexpected happened, but it merely takes you on a ‘cute’ ride. Abbass does a good job as a first-time director. The music is good – Thank you A R Rehman-ji. I love the last scene, when they all were walking out of the airport and there is this guy sitting on the floor holding a message in his hand. I don’t think many people got it, but that was cool.
Finally – Yeah go watch it, 100%. Watch it over again. Not the greatest of films, but a good watch, time and again. Imran will make it. Hunch is that he will follow his uncle’s footsteps. Start of with this teeny love story kinda stuff and will move on to do a ‘Ghulam’ one day. Yeah, I reckon. In the past we have been subjected to star sons who don’t really have talent, but are getting big banners (shamefully the state of Bollywood), BUT here is someone who will be worth watching.

I loved the movie and genelia was a like a fresh air in the middle of all des plastic faces dat r der in bollywood today. I throughly enjoyed the movie and its music.Sign up on Planet Radio City to get all the latest info about ur fav music and singer/composer. Also get lyrics and meet others who like your kinda music.

of course he does not have to depend on dancing or muscles , as he can depend on a very famous mamu jaan. We should stop comparing actors once and for all. Imraan is cute and might become very famous but like many he is not an great actor, he is super cute though. Maybe with years his actingwill improve and I am sure he is here to stay.
But by saying that he does not need dancing or muscles in the guise of dancing, that is a very cheap way to compare actors. Everyone creates theor own space and Imraan is doing it so far by looking super cute and adorable and of course with a little help from Aamir Khan but I guess why not when you have a famous family why not use it. But the subtle indication of comparing with a certain star who is a good dancer and then trying to undermine the star who is a great dancer is just cheap cheap cheap….
Lets just talk about Imraan and how good he is without comparing him with someone else.
Jaane tu is a very fresh movie with a very fresh cast.
