Jaane tu..Ya Jaane na

This is all about the new release Jaane Tu.. Ya Jaane na !!
The movie is well hyped, so much so that when we were going for the movie next week of its release we were considered late. All our friends (and even their parents) have enjoyed this movie before us.
So with much enthusiasm we went for the movie, reaching 15 min before time (my wife because she don't want to miss a single minute of movie or trailers and me because i don't want to miss national anthem)
Movie started with some cracking voices and it came out that there is some tech fault and whole theatre stood up and shouting, creating an amazing scene. It was like first time I have seen so many people dared to stand together for a single cause. And this was the end of the interesting events in the whole movie.
Good points first: Music is quite good, it surely gives me smile whenever I tune into radio and this songs comes. Title song is amazingly sung by AR Rehman holding the notes. And he makes all his songs so difficult to hum. Pappu is just some random noise, but it gives fun definitely. Kabhi Kabhi is definitely a very sweet and best song of the movie. Kahin Toh, hogi woh is a lovely romantic song I heard after a long time. Last time I enjoyed such song was - Aaj meine dil se from movie Mein Meri Patni aur Woh!!
Acting wise Naseeruddin Shah was 'The Best' and he lived upto his status. Ratna Pathak has played the role of Imraan's mother quite well. Arbaaz and Sohail are irritatingly funny :-) Rest all (in a nutshell): Genelia's dialogue delivery is poor (just better than Kangana Ranaut), Imraan is cute and probably he can act well but nothing much for this poor guy to do here. supporting friends were hopeless....
Now here comes the story. Who says Aamir was slow ? JTYJN is slow because there is very less story in it. And who says that story is 'very next door'. This is typical bolly-movie. Hero dreaming of some warrior, finally comes out that he is a prince of Ranjhor. some weird conditions to become prince of Ranjhor. And whats the mistake of poor girl whom Aamir dumps because of heroine. End was like we were watching some 90s masala movie where hero is doing everything to get heroine. Crazy or what to like it ?
Overall this was a light movie (if we remove the pathetic ending), and good camera work has saved it from getting worse. Overall it will get 2+1/2 * from me. 2 because of all the reviews above and 1/2 because ---

My wife liked Imraan a lot, just to make me comfortable she says Imraan looks like me :-). So for her I am giving additional half star more.
