Directed by Abbas Tyrewala (writer of Maqbool, Lage Raho Munnabhai, Main Hoon Na etc)
Starring: Imran Khan, Genelia
Just came back from the movie. I enjoyed every minute of it. Its sweet, mushy and acting is top notch. Imran Khan, Genelia and Prateik Babbar (Yes, the son of Raj Babbar and Smita Patil) are really impressive. The supporting cast is good with familiar television faces like Ratna Pathak Shah, Jayant Kripalani and Kitu Gidwani.
The narration of their friends' friendship-to-love story by a group of friends to their disinterested new joinee friend forms the crux of the film. All the mush, masala and deviation from reality might turn the switch off to well a lot of people. But if you like movies in the lines of Big Fish where reality and imagination often go hand in hand, you would enjoy this.
So be warned that Jaane Tu is a bit unconventional and it is not to be taken seriously. Watch this one with the mindset of a kid reading a fairy tale. You might just love this. :)
The music is really good but most of the songs in the album end up as background scores with just a couple of lines here and there.
I would like to see more of this stuff than seeing products with wasted talent, money and time like Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic. So a good debut Mr. Abbas Tyrewala in the directors seat. Way to go!!

Good job with the review! You think you could put any pics of the movies you review on? And maybe add a director, main cast list at the beginning?
