Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na marks the acting debut of Aamir Khan’s nephew Imraan Khan. Abbas Tyrewala of Munnabhai M.B.B.S and Main Hoon Na fame (as a writer) has scripted and directed this fun flick mainly targetted at the youth. This is also the first movie from Aamir Khan productions to not feature the superstar himself. But any product that Aamir lends his name to, is keenly anticipated and be rest assured, high on quality. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is no exception!
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is about Jai Singh Rathore a.k.a Rats (Imraan Khan), a Rajput who doesnt believe in violence and Aditi Mahant a.k.a Meow (Genelia D’Souza), a cute and violent girl. Aditi feels Jai is a big coward and Jai says her parents should have rinsed her mouth with soap! They fight like crazy but just cant live without each other. They are almost a made for each other couple, their parents know this, friends know it, but they believe they are just great friends, no more, no less. Does friendship turn into love?
Jane Tu Ya Jane Na Review
Whatever Aamir Khan touches seems to be turning into gold. First Lagaan, then Taare Zameen Par and now Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, although not in the same league, is yet another classic from Aamir Khan productions. What works for Jaane Tu is the well etched characters, performed brilliantly by the actors. Its not just the main characters, but even the supporting characters that add a lot of value to Jaane Tu.
Director Abbas Tyrewala has executed the script with brilliance. The first half is almost flawless, a simple tale of friendship and love, that either makes you smile or laugh. The second half, could have been better.. it tends to drag a tad bit at times and gets predictable when Genelia is engaged. The writer should have opted for a different climax and made it slightly more believable. The dialogues are witty, hilarious at times and brilliant. The music by A.R. Rehman is perfect for the movie. “Pappu cant dance saala” and “Kabhi Kabhi” stand out.
Scenes that stand out in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
- Aditi’s parents and Jai’s discussion on the engagement. Funny!
- Aditi wonders how the 5 years passed by. “On the phone beta” says Jai’s mom.
- Scene between Amit and Aditi, his confession. Heart warming and brilliant!
- Aditi begins to realise her love for Jai only when Manjari Phadnis enters the scene. The jealousy, sadness and regret is executed and performed perfectly.
- When Amit takes Aditi into his room.
- Scenes between Jai’s mother and his dead father (he talks from a portrait). Hilarious!
- The chemistry between the gang of 6 friends.
- Honestly I didnt like the climax, but the performance by Genelia and Imraan, when surrounded by the cops, makes an impact.
I can just go on and on, great moments make a great movie and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na has simply fantastic moments in abundance.
Coming to the performances, Imraan Khan reminded me a lot of Aamir Khan, especially the mischievious grin. Imraan overall makes a solid debut, not once does he go over the top. A good restrained performance, this actor will surely go a long way. Genelia D’Souza’s expressions alone are worth the price of the ticket. She oozes cuteness and performs well. Manjari Phadnis looks good, acts well. Ratna Pathak Shah is superb as always. Paresh Rawal makes you laugh a couple of times. Naseeruddin Shah in a short role is just perfect. The director has managed to extract excellent performances from every other character actor.
Overall, Jaane Tu is immensely enjoyable and high on entertainment. If your looking for a movie on friendship and love, that makes you smile and laugh at times. Dont miss it! At the box-office, the lacklustre performance of Love Story 2050 along with good word out mouth should ensure a HIT status atleast!

yad aye muje meri college life after watching that film me.its amazing.the music is very delicious because v can fell it by hearing.Imran n aditi r done great job.
it’s very nice and romantic film. a.r.rahman ‘s music is outstanding. it will definitelly beat all other films market.
To Fathiya,
The movie is a very light hearted entertainer! I watched it with my friends and we all loved it! Everyone is entitled to their opinions. If you did not like this movie, it’s your own choice. You have mentioned it in your review. But why do you expect everyone to agree with you????? If other people are praising this movie, then let it be.. Why can’t you digest this simple fact? what makes you come back again and again stressing your opinion. We have heard you.. now common move on… There are a few ppl who have not liked this movie and written the same here.. I don’t see them coming back ..then why do you consider this space as a field of war!!
Writing your point over and over would not convince us but make us hate you even more! So give some rest to your computer and keyboard or else the keys will pop out due to over-usage :D
Take a chill pill….
o’sum movie, every moment in the film was fabulous. Kabhi Kabhi aditi… songs extremely good n geneliya custome mind blowing. I had been seeing her film since 5 years, but these is fullly entertaining.
SUPER STAR AAMIR KHAN
Aamir ne dikha diya ki wo ek acche hero ke sath sath ek acha dirctor bhi hai .
overall i would like to say is genelia’s acting is superb …….
her bubbly character is simply different from all other past heroines……
in her acting we can see rich but down to earth kind of girl, sensitive, etc…….
this mixer of qualities in her acting is really superb……..
at a time she can give expressions of rich but down to earth kind of girl, sensitive…..etc………
and over all his smile i like the mostttttttttt
and i even like imran smile a lottttttttttt
imran is soooooooooooooooooo cute and coming to acting nice……..in this movie he didn’t have a challenging role…its a normal boy role…and no scope to explore his acting also….so i would suggest imran to select the movies where he can exhibit his acting skills
after a very long time really a very good movie is there to watch, really a different heart touching story with very very good characters to show their potential and capabilities. each and everyone in the movie has done a briliant job. really a big round of applause to all of them and ofcourse aamir khan and his entire team.
it is a great movie i like it very much & i hope we will see more good films of IMRAN and one more thing A R RAHMAN did a great music
This is my favourite movie after Hum Aapke Hain Kaun long time back, so this is an awesome movie i love both the actor and the actress aditi and mostly the song Kabhi Kabhi Aditi………
@fathya n co.:

i too loved this movie .every body rocked.wanna watch it again
Mini: U r trying to tease me so take this one:
Maybe I’m an alien ( thanks.. u described me this way) ’cause aliens r more developed than humen being! They have a brain to judge movies correctly. And as Kunal Koli said during an interview: we make movies to satisfy indian people’s taste.. so u said.. it’s good only for your people!
And to you who called yourself: GET OUT FATHIYA: firstly that’s not your home or your website to say this, if Indicine team want to stop me.. let them do.. I don’t care.. I can express my opinion in some other websites, but u don’t have any rights to say this.
AND TO THE REST OF YOU – SPECIALLY TO MY FRIEND WHO IS INDIAN – SORRY.. IF I HAD TO REPLY TO SOME WHO NEVER ACCEPT OTHER PEOPLE’S OPINIONS. YES.. AGE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH OUR TASTE AND THE WAY WE THINK, AND I ASSUME THAT 95% OF THE AUDIENCES FOR THIS CRAP ARE BETWEEN THE AGE OF 12-20 ONLY, AND THE YOUNGSTERS CAN’T JUDGE ANY MOVIE CORRECTLY.
I’VE VISITED A WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT 95% OF THE AUDIENCES WERE FLIRTING EITHER WITH GENELIA (the heroine) OR IMRAN ( the hero) EXPRESSING THEIR FEELINGS FOR THEM AND NOT FOR THE MOVIE!!!
GENELIA WAS SUPERB..I WANT HER TO BE MY FRIEND… CAN SOMEBODY TELL HER….PLEASE!!!PLEASE IF THE INDICINE TEAM CAN DO SOMETHING….
please can somebody tell genelia that i wanted to be her friend….
its an awesome movie
i gonna watch it thousand and billions times more wat a movie guyyyssss
both actors are very good. i like the caracter of her brother “amit” in the film very much
and also her parents i can say they are the copy of my parents
in a sense its a mind blasting movie dialoges are well written and touches heart
every body in the city please watch this films
and “amir khan” is growing and can be the best director in future
awesome movie
just shut up my dear fathiya i think u dont have any work beyond going to cinema and writing stupid,silly and crazy things in this blog if this movie is very good then only public will say good hai na!
its just matter of their choice u cant blame them as u dont like the movie
may be u watch this type of films in ur dreams everyday but people watched this type of film for very long time so they loved it
and one thing u liked the movie ls2050 na so every one can imagine that wat type of person u r
ok so stop commenting bad about a film
wow fathiya you really need help. I think u should have some one backin u up . But i am not the one Cuz i loved this movie and hated LS2050 (IF U REALLY want to watch sci fi then watch hollywood) ,Watch indian films for wat it is good(indian melodrama ) come on it is made for india .(so watch them takin in Indian perspective) otherwise watch your own regional movies(if they r made (r they made???). By the way i am not an indian i am a foreigner like you>>>>>>>>>>>
chill out have fun put your brain in entertainment mode
hahahahaha.. u guys.. on the last 2 comments made me laugh.. really.. what u have mentioned was funny. Who r the public Mr. Manoj?! And What type of person I am Mr. Manoj?!! Am I an “alien”?!! Someone on You Tube described me so.. said that: u might be an alien that u didn’t like JT!! hahahah.. crazy people.. And my answer for her was: I’m happy that u described me so ’cause aliens, as everyone know, r more developed creaters!!
And u who called yourself: Somebody help Fathiya?! hahahahaha. why?! Do I need help ’cause I didn’t like JT?!! I think u people need help ’cause this movie made u completely insane & blind! I didn’t want to insult u but i keep quiet then someone comes with a new comment, pointing at me.. so I’ve to reply.
More to add: A girl on You Tube said: I think u r idiot.. ’cause a sister calls her brother : Son of a bitch is kids language which u don’t understand!! Wow.. kids language!! so I replied and said: Well if that’s what Indian people teach their kids and they find it normal, I’m sorry, ’cause in our country, we teach our kids to respect each other and never allow them to say any bad language, and u r all influenced by western peope which they find it’s normal a son calls his mom: hey bitch!!
So people.. if u want me really to (shtu up) u shut up first and accept that one in a million of audience didn’t like JTYJN but loved the other one which u didn’t like Love Story 2050.
A.R.RAHMAN HAS DONE A SPLENDID JOB AND MUSIC LIFTS THE FILM TO A GREAT Height.
I think JOAMON who wrote the review on July 6th, 2008 at 10:58 am is a very old person.
Joamon, u please watch Mahabharath serial in tv.
hello fathiya behan
actually u said right u r not public u r an alien its only u
coz
hello!! its a film a “bollywood masala film” it were the dialoges they are not real brother and sister
i think u don’t realise wats real and wats ficticous so my dear sister JT is a film its totally a script and also LS2050 is ok !!!
just in simple JT is more realistic than LS2050 .LS2050 is totally ficticious but in JT there are some part are ficticious so if u like the theory of time machine then i m sure u r a alien coz in 2008 talking of time machine is worthless and
helllooo aliens are not developed creature they are just a big pain in an ass
and thank u if u laughted at my previous comments coz its worth thousands and billions to see an ALIEN laughing
so just take a chill pill i loved this movie.
ohho oho oho!!!!!!!!!!aliens dont watch movies!!!!!!!!coz dey dont hav dat much brains to undrstand emotions……..JT rocks!!!!!!!
n fathya aunty plz…..stop watchin movies n start takin care of ur kids!!!!!!dey r starving!!!!!
u no wat i dont understand is
ppl who dont lyk the movie
why do dey watch it and den make negative comments
if u dont lyk it dont watch it
let the ppl who lyk it have fun watching it!!!!! so let it b n njoi.who dont like it go n sit in loo!!!!!!1
Mini: Did u ever meet an alien?!! U know nothing about aliens ’cause we never met them.. I’m from a wealthy family, my kids r grown up, and I loved this.. to be an alien ( if what we imagine about them is true) I loved E.T.who was so cute, drinking coke, and make the flowers blossom again, and fly on the bike in the air, have extraordinary power as well as emotions!
I wish if I was an alien and left this terrible world to a better place, to live among aliens who have brain!
And dear Manoj:
LS2050 is a fiction, a beautiful fiction ( I never loved any Hollywood science fictions) but I loved this creativity of bollywood. What I assume that ppl didn’t understand it. Lots of pple on You Tube said: the movie is a copy of Time Machine, Robots, etc. and what I want to say here is the following: Those hollywood movies were boring, but LS2050 was an interesting one. What I loved about LS2050 is the conception of the future. We – as we have a terrible traffic jam in our country – always wished if one day, in future could see traffic in the air, if cars could fly, that’s (1) and If we could easily buy our stuff by pressing some buttens and we get what we want, that’s (2) and if we could change our room colours in seconds, that’s (3) and if we could hire some robots to work for us with no headache with housemaids and that’s (4) including other imaginaries in the movie, with beautiful Priyanka in her future costumes, hair styles, etc. ( I think u all have to see the movie again then u will understand why I loved it)
In addition, I understood why b.wood is copying from h.wood ’cause almost 70% of Indians never watch h.wood movies, so that’s reasonable, to take some ideas and create something new, with different flavour. And, if u all didn’t know yet, Hollywood also copying from foreign language horror movies e.g. The Ring, The Grudge, The Eye ( not only copying but they use the same names as well! movie names) And they do it ’cause also most american people never watch Japanese, Chinese or Korean movies.
So.. everyone does, and u all have to be (proud) of what some Indian directors were capable of, not to attack him and kill him with your bad reviews and comments!! U all need to watch this movie again then u will find out that there’s no comparison between LS2050 & JTYJN. I understood why all of u loved JT, a simple and a fresh movie, a simple script, fine.. I do understand but the 2 movies r completely different, so why u pple don’t enjoy anything different?! Why don’t u accept any new script?!
kitna wehla time hai tumhare pass!!!!1!!!!
a very nice movie , u want 2 watch it again its a very nice movie for teenager
wow a crusader against jtyjn go fathiya(alone and so much detesters)
amir khan ………my salam to you
never b4 in ma life i have seen a movie like jaane tu…
imran & genelia were looking awsum just like amir & ayesha in qayamat se qayamat tak.in
