Very nice.

Funny without being in your face. It makes you think about the good moments you had in college, your friends and then you wonder - where they are now, what they are doing...hmmm.

Just imagine they made Friends into a movie, (Monica and Chandler getting married?), removed the the American show's cheesy style, throw in a nice Indian college type flavour

And you have Jaane tu ya jaaane na - An Aamir , Abbas Tyrewala's direction and a good cast.

The story begins with a group of friends heading off to the airport to greet some friends. And the chatter is filled with references to love lost, love won, mis-understandings and The Group. It does lend itself to a certain 'hot pakora' and chai (Or Beer and Pakora) mood. The movie meanders through a story that at times seems familiar and at times has its surprises. I didnt realise it - but somewhere along the way, I caught myself being interested in the lives of the people in the movie...being empathatic with this one, or angry with that one. Thats a sign of a good movie. The cast is an interesting mix.

Jay (Imran) - He is so much like Aamir - it was almost eerie - but quite tolerable. I think he may grow to be a crowd puller. He is the kind of actor that makes people would him want to succeed.

Aditi (Genelia) - She, well - she's cute - I guess you pull a pretty girl from St.Joseph's and she can most likely do! Hmm - on serious thoughts- she does a fair bit of acting...and the chemistry between the two is quite becoming. (Btw - A UK based girl, now in Hyderabad? What happened to Mumbai?)

As for The Friends - you can find atleast one person in your life who resembles atleast one of the characters...making it easy on 'Acceptability Scale'...an easy-going narrative style.

The Ratna - Naseerudin banter brings that light hearted fun at the right moments. You begin to forward to these as the movie progresses. "You can take the Rathore out of the Ranchod, but you can never take the Ranchod out of the Rathore!!" And of course, not to forget, Aditi's brother - the obnoxious painter genius who reminds his sister what it is to be true to ones heart.

For many of the girls - you will defntly have aasoon in your eyes at certain moments :) or perhaps those thoughts that take you back to yester years - reminding you of 'Him'

:)

And no, it does NOT have many 'Awwww , chooo cute' moments - which make it all the more enjoyable.

Rahman shows that he still hasnt lost his touch - the music complements the mood of the movie very well - light hearted and engaging. As for the dialogue- it has been a long time since I enjoyed a good line in a Hindi movie! There were times I was roaring with laughter (wonder what the neighbours thought) By the way - for all you Wannabe Macho guys - thats a good prescription - Beat someone up, Spend a night in jail...and ride a horse on the city roads!!

What ever happened to Viagra and Veerappan moustaches?

Anywhich ways - a total paisa vasool movie.

Go watch it with your girlfriend, boyfriend, gang...your favourite company. Its a refreshing movie. Check out my friend - Vishal's take [COMMA]on the movie - will make you smile
