This is Aamir Khan's youngistan - hep, happening and yet rooted in love and 
fresh air with no worry in the world.
 
 
If
you are looking for something very spectacular in this launch pad of
yet another Khan, you will be sorely disappointed. But if you want to
soak in the spirit of usual life in a young terrain, you will not only
feel young yourself but will also marvel at the complete denial of any
histrionic hyperactivity in the movie.
 
 
To
put it simply, it ambles along without any pauses. Aamir's nephew
Imran, though unusually bushy eyebrowed, does manages to sprinkle his
boy-next-door charm on the screen, though one must say a lot of peppy
props in the form of friends and their fuchhas cushions the sags in his
maiden appearance.
 
 
Genelia looks adequately young and merges into her hyper character rather well.
 
 
As
a foil to all these sweet nothings who are really something, there is
an older generation in the form of a photo-framed Naseer Shah, his wife
Ratna Pathak Shah and Paresh Rawal besides, out from oblivion, Anuradha
Patel. But it is not about them and they smoothen the edges from where
they are meant to be - on the fringes of their young ones' lives.
 
 
Jaane Tu... is light yet enjoyable, aam yet loving, and just too young to not 
be indulged in.
