Let's be realistic.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

The film starts briskly in the first half and the viewers are left rejoicing. It embodies comedy, songs neatly interwoven in the first half. As the film progresses, the comic elements take a backseat and serious issues like relationships take over it.The story in the film exists just for the sake of it. One can clearly predict the ending midway in the film.Not to take anything away from the film, it is filled with energy(at least in the first half) and is light hearted. The acting is good by the 2 leads of Imran and Genelia. The other actors are fairly amateurish in their depiction, which actually somehow works for this youthful film. Coming to the music score, some of the songs are listenable, no doubt. But it would have been better to cut down on them and bring the length of the movie down.Overall, a movie that loses its track in the middle just to make a come back towards the last.

The movie lives up to the name of aamir khan production's.Its a simple story with a new face. A must watch for the youngsters. It has its share of good humorous comedy. The peppy dialogs steal the show. The casting is great, everyone plays there respective character to the T.The songs are rocking and at the same time soothing to the ears. Hats off to A.R.Rahman.The story is about two people jai singh rathore (Imran) and aaditi mahant (Genelia). They are the best of friends and they cannot imagine living without each other. But they don't know that they are actually in love.The movie ends showing how they finally realizes that they are actually in love.The story never drags at any point.final rating 9/10.Must see. At least once.

Perhaps I was expecting TOO much.See, I watched this movie really late, almost when the theaters were empty. I saw SPARKLING promos, amazing songs and heard really good things about this movie.I was expecting a movie like Kal Ho Na Ho. One I would love instantly.I was disappointed.It started off weird. The airport scene was indeed very boring and overused. The friends very robot-like.And then we FINALLY see him and her. The stars. The one we know will win all the best debut awards this year. Imran Khan and Genelia D'Souza.Imran Khan surprised me. I was expecting another mediocre, here in the industry because of relations but he is indeed good. Genelia is decent but needs to work on her accent. She also looks very similar to Sonai Kulkarni, who is a much better actress than she.The story was average. It had its moments. There were times when you were laughing very hard and times when you wanted to go hide under the seat because of the syrupy sweet, totally unrealistic lives and dialogs and story.It tried to teach parents some things as well. The situation with Imran's girlfriend's parents was a very good example and a bit believable as well. I hope parents learn from it.Had I not heard so much about it, I would not have been so disappointed. It was that I was expecting so much, so, so much, that I was so sorely disappointed. It could have done so much better. There were times when it could have shined. But it failed.I think that it is watchable, but only if you have no expectations.A cute romantic comedy, masala movie.5/10.

Obviously after seeing hundreds of films (and reviewing over 150), i should be knowing a lot about movies, not the technical factors but simple things like originality, entertainment, music etc etc.But do i??!!! Expert No 1 - This is a fresh (original) film.Me- Is it ?? 6 friends 3 girls 3 guys 2 that are seeing each other 2 that are confused and 2 that are asexual (has anyone seen friends?), 2 people that love each other but don't know yet (lets not even talk about how FRESH THAT IS).Pleasing as watching end of college romantic comedies may be (hell even one of the American pies was one), ITS AS OLD AS MOVIES ITSELF.Expert No 2 - Mature and Subtle Portrayal of relationships and people.Me - Did we see the same movie. A villain whos probably as evil as gabbar given the context of the film. The other girl who had to be dumped. A talking portrait, EXTRA CHILL PARENTS (i wish each and every parent was really that chill in real life).This movie did have some special moments though, but most were anything but subtle, like the Khan Brothers, meeting the parents etc etc.Expert No 3 - All the actors did a superb job.Me- Did they Genelia still has difficulty in handling emotional scenes, and her dubbing/voice is at least 5 movies away from being even good, Imran Khan was actually quite good, but as the joker says "WHY SO SERIOUS", even in the comedy scenes there was an air of aloofness or seriousness about it, as if to say im here to do a serious job, and if the scene require comedy then i will processionally handle it.ALSO WHAT NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE POINTED OUT IS THE SLOWISH PACE OF THE FILM, really there is only one story in the entire film and for that movie is quite long, its not like alternate tracks have been given much importance.The placement of songs and the fact that we feel compelled to play the whole song once we start it, is still annoying.ON MOST OF THE REST I AGREE WITH.Yes the acting is very good but lets not push it to superb.Yes the movie is funny most of the times when it wants to be.Yes some of the emotional scenes are actually tolerable for a drama hater like me.Yes this is one of the best movies this year (more from the lack of good movies i might add).Yes you must watch this movie (hell if you like movies (especially Hindi) what other choices do you have, and you will enjoy yourself).In all a very good if not great movie that should be watched if you like some good fun with the odd emotional moments.-s sluggish pace, bad use of songs, not fresh or original.+/-s acting superb???? maybe maybe not.+s mostly fun, concept still appeals after all this time, Genelia looks really nice (acting has nothing to do with the fact that i have semi- crush on her).total 7/10 (this movie actually met my expectations but im not factoring that so that others expectations are not to high, this movie once again gos to prove that if enough people tell you that a movie is superb you will believe it, QUITE FRANKLY I ENJOYED JAB WE MET MORE).BUT HELL, WHAT THE HELL DO I KNOW??.
