Imran - ‘Ek baar fir se Bolo’.
Paresh - ‘Kya Bola?’
Imran - ‘Maine kaha Ek baar fir se bolo yeh baat’.
Till this part of the movie ‘Jaane Tu…’, Imran khan had come across as the guy next door. The same guy, who had played Aamir’s childhood role in Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander. The cute little disappointed face with a single cup in his hand (while his father Kulbhusan showers all his love on his elder son, Mamik, who had won loads of trophies) suggested this child definitely has some future. In the first half of the movie, he portrays the ole of a very humble & normal guy, who is scared of confrontations & uses some smart excuses to avoid them. Little does he know that he is the Ranjhor ka Rathor, a synonym of bravery and strength? But one insult inflicted on his mother by a police inspector, changes the color of his eyes. You can actually see the transformation of his face from being cute to angry, much like the way with Aamir. If one looks closely, he will find some similarity between Imran and Aamir too, I think it’s because Imran has modeled himself after Aamir. Well if you really want to follow somebody, Aamir is definitely not a bad choice and Imran should be congratulated for doing it successfully.
Coming to Genelia, well, she is a natural and that’s her strong point. She never seems to overdo it. During the ‘Kabhi kabhi Aditi’ song, she looks genuinely sad and still gives a feeling of how comic the situation is. I can imagine how a Kareena in that situation would have ruined the whole scene and that is where the genuineness of Genelia wins her some well earned praise.
There are several other characters in the movie, who are so close to reality, which makes the narration believable (though some scenes are just clichéd filmy, like the airport scene). There are innumerable phattus and gujratis around us, that they seem part of our lives. I loved the scene where phattu kisses his girlfriend with such a loser’s line. Prateek babbar has done a tremendous job as Genelia’s brother. Even though he is a star son, he doesn’t quite have the looks for a hero. He might just be the next parallel cinema sensation. At least this much can be expected of Smita Patil’s son. Paresh rawal in a non comic role after so many days was refreshing too. Khan bros had interesting characters and I guess overacted a bit.
The best part was the conversation between Ratna pathak and Naseeruddin. Just fabulous comic scenes and the dance from Naseer in the end had me in splits.
Overall I think it’s a young generation light hearted movie and should be treated that. Terming it as a cult or path breaking movie as DDLJ or Dil Chahta hai would be highly unfair.
My Rating – 3.25/5 (.25 cut due to some clichéd scenes)
