Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

In case you still haven't seen the movie *Spoiler Warning*

It's been ages since I went to a movie and laughed so hard!
There is nothing special about the story, it's the normal boy meets girl and they don't know they're in love till the end thing.
But the dialogues were hilarious and the way the scenes unfolded were so normal and casual-like. It's like my friend said... even the most serious bits were not taken too seriously. Very real. Not like a movie.

Everyone I know either loved Imran Khan or Genelia D'souza.
They were good, yes. But my favourite character was Shaleen. She is so cool! So sorted!
I've never wanted to be so like any character before! And I like that she's single. There's no pressure on her to get a guy cos everyone else in the group is hitting on each other. No tension! Just calm, logical and so cool!
I've not been able to find any pics of just her character, but here's one with them all (she's the one on the extreme right).

I actually don't like Imran Khan's character so much. I don't like the idea of someone who is so into the girl he's seeing that he ignores his friends. That's not a very nice friend, if you ask me.

But the movie itself, if you don't try to psychoanalyze the characters, is hilarious!

Tintin: That's so sweet of you! My laptop's conked off for some weird reason, so until that's fixed, I doubt I can write much.

Apoo: Ah yes! The Gujju connection speaketh! :P

Until now I was wondering whether to watch it or not..I heard mixed reviews and extreme versions!

Now am pretty sure I wanna catch a show before it goes off all theatres :)

Sonia said...

Zombie: Oh, it's DEFINITELY worth watching! You'll fall off your seats laughing! and it's the first time i heard of mixed reviews. it's doing so phenomenally well here that even a month after it's release it was full house, on WEEKDAYS!

I've heard good things about that movie too. Glad to see you are still blogging strong. Hope everything is good.

I also loved Jaane Tu.. and it felt like I was back in School again (it resembled my group from school more that my college gang)

And more than anyone else even I was rooting for Shaleen, she seemed to be the most sorted out and I loved the red highlights!!

Hope you don't wither away from the heat.

Mez: I wanted to as well, but couldn't, was too busy! but i know a lot of people who watched it twice!

AB: LOL! oh yeah! That was hilarious!
