Jaane Tu .. Ya Jaane Na: A great movie

When me and the spouse were debating which movie to watch, I was thinking of Kismet Connection, and the spouse was thinking of 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'; of course we watched the movie that the spouse wanted to watch. Well, I don't regret it one bit. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and I was still laughing 10 minutes after the movie even though it was already 1 AM in the morning when I came out of the movie hall. I was very impressed after watching this movie, and will recommend it to anyone wanting to watch a nice movie, full of comedy, with some great acting.
The movie was made under the banner of Aamir Khan, produced by Aamir and Mansoor Khan, and directed by Abbas Tyrewala; lyrics were also by Abbas, and the great music was by A R Rehman. The film introduced Aamir's nephew Imran Khan (Jai Singh Rathore) and also starred the pretty new Genelia D'Souza (Aditi Mahant) in lead roles. However, it was not only these, there were a host of other actors who played small and large roles, and were fairly significant in these roles: Karan Makhija (playing Rotlu), Nirav Mehta (Jiggy), Alishka Varde (Bombs), Pratik Babbar (brother of Genelia, Amit Mahant), Manjari Phadnis (Meghna, girlfriend of Imran for some time); and then you had the senior artists - Anuradha Patel, Jayant Kripalani (Aditi's parents), Ratna Pathak Shah (playing Jai's mother), Naseeruddin Shah (playing the deceased Amar Singh Rathore, Jai's father), Kitu Gidwani, Rajat Kapoor (Meghna's father), Arbaaz Khan (Bhaloo), Sohail Khan (Baghera), and Paresh Rawal as Inspector Waghmare.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008)

This is a pretty huge cast, but the thing is, you got to feel that almost everybody got a role to play in making the movie what it was. Imraan and Genelia were playing the lead roles, but the entire supporting cast also had some good parts to play. Probably the least utilized were Kitu Gidwani and Rajat Kapoor, since they got maybe 5 minutes, but an artist like Ratna Pathak Shah got a great role.
The movie rolls around the story of Jai and Aditi, very good friends in college and their gang. It is told in the form of a flashback. Their college life is about to end, and everybody assumes that such good friends will want to spend their life together, being in love and all that. However, they vehemently deny all this, and decide that they will get each other a mate so that such impressions are shelved. Jai is a total non-fighting character, since his mother has raised him that way, telling him that his father was a total peace-loving person and that is how he must always be like (in reality, his father was a hard core aggressive person who died in a battle with a rival clan).
Aditi finds a person for Jai; finding Meghna in a bar where he saves her from 2 hooligans in the shape of Arbaaz and Sohail Khan. Meghna and Jai start becoming close to each other, and the inevitable had to happen. Aditi finds out that she did indeed love Jai, and starts feeling extremely jealous. Soon, Aditi is also introduced to her father's friend Sushant Modi, and they get engaged; Sushant is a much more impressive personality, and also very aggressive. He also has a whole line of old conquests. What happens to the relationship between Aditi and Jai, given that they are now involved with other people, and yet love each other.

Lyrics from the movie:

Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai (sung by Runa Rizvi)

Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai, Jaane Tu Mera Kya Tha
Tu Hi Mera Har Pal, Tu Hi Har Lamha Tha
Jaane Kaisi Kashish Hai, Jaane Kaisi Khalish Hai
Kyun Yeh Saans Thami Hai, Aankhon Mein Kyun Nami Hai
Hai Dosthi Humko Yakeen Tha, Hai Yeh Dosti Aur Kuch Bhi Nahin Tha
Hai Kaisa Dard Naya Sa Kyun Dil Lagtha Toota Toota Sa
Jaana Dil Jaana Kaise To Meine Na Jaana
Yeh Pyar Yahin Hai, Yeh Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Jaana Dil Jaana Kaise To Meine Na Jaana
Yeh Pyar Yahin Hai, Yeh Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai, Jaane Tu Mera Kya Tha
Tu Hi Mera Har Pal, Tu Hi Har Lamha Tha

Oooo Hothi Thi Tujh Se Saka Har Din Ki
Teri Dopehar Se Shyam Ki Dhun Thi
Hothi Thi Raathein Teri Baathon Mein Khoye
Tere Khayalon Mein Jaage Aur Soye
Tu Jo Nahin To Kya Raha

Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai, Jaane Tu Mera Kya Tha
Tu Hi Mera Har Pal, Tu Hi Har Lamha Tha
Jaane Kaisi Kashish Hai, Jaane Kaisi Khalish Hai
Kyun Yeh Saans Thami Hai, Aankhon Mein Kyun Nami Hai
Jaana Dil Jaana Kaise To Meine Na Jaana
Yeh Pyar Yahin Hai, Yeh Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Jaana Dil Jaana Kaise To Meine Na Jaana
Yeh Pyar Yahin Hai, Yeh Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi (Sung by Rashid Ali)

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi Me Yun Hi Koi Apna Lagta Hai
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Woh Bichad Jaaye Toh Ek Sapna Lagta Hai

Aise Me Koi Kaise Apne Aansuon Ko Behnay Se Roke
Aur Kaise Koi Sochle Ki Everything'S Gonna Be Okay

Kabhi Kabhi Toh Lage Zindagi Me Rahi Na Khushi Aur Na Maza
Kabhi Kabhi Toh Lage Har Din Mushkil Aur Har Pal Ek Saza

Aise Me Koi Kaise Muskuraaye, Kaise Has De Khush Hoke
Aur Kaise Koi Sochle Ki Everything'S Gonna Be Okay

Soch Zara Jan-E-Jaan Tujh Ko Hum Kitna Chahte Hain
Rotay Hain Hum Bhi Agar Tere Aankhon Me Aansun Aate Hain

Gaana Toh Aata Nahi Hai Magar Phir Bhi Hum Gaate Hain
Hey Aditi Maan Kabhi--Kabhi Saare Jahan Me Andhera Hota Hai

Lekin Raat Ke Baad Hi Toh Savera Hota Hai

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi Me Yun Hi Koi Apna Lagta Hai
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Woh Bichar Jaye Toh Ek Sapna Lagta Hai

Hey Aditi Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Tu Zara
Nahi Toh Bas Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Muskura

Tu Khush Hai Toh Lage Kay Jahan Main Chaiyi Hai Khushi
Sooraj Nikle Baadalon Se Aur Bantay Zindagi

Sun Toh Zara Madhosh Hawa--Tujhse Kehne Lagi
Ki Aditi Woh Jo Bichadte Hain Ik Na Ik Din Phir Mil Jate

Yeh Aditi Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na Phool Phir Khil Jate Hain
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi Me Yun Hi Koi Apna Lagta Hai

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Who Bichad Jaye Toh Ek Sapna Lagta Hai
Hey Aditi Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Tu Zara -- 5X

Nahi Toh Bas Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Muskura -- 5X

Nazren Milana Nazren Churana (Sung by Anupama Deshp,Naresh Iyer,)

Dil Kabhi Gandha, Kabhi Hai Nek Bandha
Dil Ka Bharosa Kaise Koi Karen
Dil Kabhi Tanda Kabhi Hai Atom Bomb Sa
Yeh Dhamaka Kaise Koi Sahe

Dil Ki Yahin Khatha Hai, Dil Ko Nahin Patha Hai
Dil Ki Yahin Khatha Hai, Dil Ko Nahin Patha Hai

Ki Woh Chaahtha Hai Kya
Nazren Milana, Nazren Chua Na,
Kahi Pe Nigaahen, Kahi Pe Nishaana
Nazren Milana, Nazren Chua Na,
Kahi Pe Nigaahen, Kahi Pe Nishaana

Niyyath To Dil Ki Hamesha Hi Sahi Thi
Dil Ka Iradha Bhi Samjo Nek Tha
Kudrath Awaara To Kya Kare Bechaara
Uska Ho Jaaye Dil Jisko Dekhtha

Din Mein To Woh Sathaayein,
Raathon Mein Gul Jagaayein
Din Mein To Woh Sathaayein,
Raathon Mein Gul Jagaayein
Are Chaahtha Hai Kya

Nazren Milana, Nazren Chua Na,
Kahi Pe Nigaahen, Kahi Pe Nishaana
Nazren Milana, Nazren Chua Na,
Kahi Pe Nigaahen, Kahi Pe Nishaana

Aankhon Mein Koi Hai Basa Jaane Kyun Lage Yeh Dil Khaali
Jaan Lo Yeh Dil Bajaa Raha Kyun Ek Haath Se Taali
Hoton Se Jaane Kya Kaha Phir Bhi Dil Ki Baathein Hai Dil Mein
Yeh Raha Tera Humsafar Kis Ko Doonde Dil Ke Mehfhil Mein
Jaan Hai Phasi Ke Bina Hasin Aaye Hal Dil Pe

Nazren Milana, Nazren Chua Na, Kahi Pe Nigaahen, Kahi Pe Nishaana
Nazren Milana, Nazren Chua Na, Kahi Pe Nigaahen, Kahi Pe Nishaana
