After all those recos, I finally got down to watching Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, and I must say that there no regrets. It’s lovely little film, and an example of how great cinema is made.
I don’t really want to rewrite all the great reviews on the film that have already gone before. But, I’d just like to make a little note on why this film worked so well for me:
- A great script
- Sincerity, freshness, originality… Another way of saying this would be that it’s a story about everyday people told from the heart.
- Every little bit of the film is there for a reason.
- Great dialogues
- Whacky humour.
- Music that makes you want to dance, think, travel.
- In conclusion, a nice, clean film… And the greatest past about it was that it worked… Every little bit of it:)
It’s also true that Imran Khan has great screen presence. Here’s to the “next big thing” Khan.
Abbas Tyrewala… Hats off to you… You’ve added another little gem to your repertoire. Of course, we expect no less from the master craftsman who created the screenplay for Maqbool and penned the dialogues of Munnabhai MBBS.
Aamir Khan… Take a deep bow… This film has the simple understated conviction that the more overrated Taare Zameen Par (also from Aamir Khan productions) always lacked.
Each generation has a film that captures the essence of being young. Thank you for adding Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na to that list.
