Jaane Tu� Ya Jaane Na, written and directed by Abbas Tyrewala (who scripted the 
fun Munnabhai [Images] series, Main Hoon Na and Maqbool among
others) is a fun-filled, engaging entertainment. Rarely do you feel
bored as four friends narrate the love story of the protagonists -- Jai
and Aditi -- to a bored newcomer, who joins the group by the time the
film ends.
Jai Rathore (Imran Khan [Images],
making his debut) and Aditi Mahant (Genelia D'Souza), are best friends,
who don't realise that they are in love with each other. Their parents,
friends and even you would believe that they are made for each other. But
they are so besotted with each other's friendship that they even
venture out to find a perfect partner for the other one. When Meghna
(Manjari Fadnis) enters Jai's life, Aditi begins to feel the pangs of
love (or is it jealousy?). 
        * Special: All about Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na
So
she goes and gets a man for herself, and gets engaged to Sushant Modi
(Ayaz Khan). But this is one of those typical love stories that makes
its climax at the airport.
Of
the cast, Imran impresses tremendously with his acting skills. Watch
him in the scene when he glares at inspector Waghmare (a brilliant
Paresh Rawal [Images]). He reminds you a lot of his uncle Aamir Khan [Images] 
in the way he handles certain scenes. 
Genelia is spontaneous, like the other friends in the group. Jignes Patel 
(Nirav Mehta) shines with his typical Gujju accent. 
But
the best character that leaves his mark with his hatred and jealousy
for Jai is Aditi's brother, Amit (Smita Patil and Raj Babbar's son
making a brilliant cameo). The
paintings -- when he takes Aditi for the first time into his room --
visually speaks for his loneliness and indifference shown by his sister
after she meets Jai.
Paresh Rawal as inspector Waghmare, Arbaaz and Sohail Khan [Images] as Ballu 
and Bagheera bhaiyya respectively are eminently wasted. But they have their 
moments of glory with their one-liners.
Naseeruddin Shah [Images], as Jai's father, who speaks with his elegant wife, 
Ratna Pathak Shah, from a painting in the wall, has played a perfect cameo.
Jaane Tu will definitely appeal to the young, its target audience.
