'Jab we met' is one of the typical Bollywood entertainer, where first half is full of comedy while second half full of drama. But the good thing is that the movie makes the audience tickles. And it's really unfortunate that now when Karina and Shaheed chemistry looking good, they are separated.
The movie starts with the character of Aditya Kashyap (Shaheed Kapur) running away from his responsibilities giving away hopes in life. And the in the journey he met with Geet (Kareen Kapur), whose destination is Matinda. Geet is a jolly young girl who leaves in her own dream world, and follows her heart everywhere. The things happen in such a way that Aditya gives company to Geet to her house, and also helps her to run away from her house and to find her true love Anshuman (Tarun Arora). All these situations changes the perception of Aditya to see the world, and he too started to follow his heart and face the challenges rather than avoiding those. He finds out that there is more to see in the world than just meet the eyes. But on other side, Anshuman refuses Geet and Geet gets shattered. Now it is for Aditya to bring back Geet in her life.
The second attempt of the director Imtiaz Ali 'Jab we met' in first half hour puts some expectation and at the end succeeds in meeting those. The scenes in first half are impressive, funny and achieve the desired effects. The second half though predictable and not so excite at least put the audience on chair. Even though some scenes are a bit stretched far from reality they do not break the speed of the movie. E.g. the second time Geet miss the train due to her stupidity, makes us think whether the girls are really these stupid? Music without any doubt has scored points in this movie. The songs are not only good to hear and see but also occurs at proper points in the movie, and do not give the feeling that they are bombarded on us. Acting wise, the lead actors Shaheed and Kareena had done a very good and admirable job. Shaheed looks good in serious roles than in jolly roles. And he now days he is improving fast. Kareena I guess by now is enough mature to understand the depth of the characters she does.
Over and all 'jab we met' is a good experience. Though the concept and theme is not new, the execution is sweet and cute. You won't regret watching this one.
