Jab We Met is a winner at the box office.
Finally a fresh romantic story in weeks in cinemas this year. Jab We Met sparkles with the chemistry of the lead pair, Shahid Kapur and Kareena kapoor as well as a well crafted neatly paced screenplay and slick direction.
The basic plot revolves around perky Punjabi girl meets depressed jilted lover, Yuppie on train journey. They have a number of crazy adventures together where at first the girl tries to cheer up the lad and leads him to her home in Bhatinda which seems embarrassingly lifted out of Dilwale Dulhaniya set. Now girl gets jilted by lover, a terrible turn by Tarun Arora. It’s the turn of the Yuppie to take charge and the movie moves to its conclusion after a series of funny contrived situations after which Girl gets Boy.
The dialogues are crisp and funny and the lead pair Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor has graced the screen with a kaleidoscope of emotions. Kareena is brilliant, chirpy or restrained as the story progresses.. Shahid has put in an impressive performance.
The movie has performed extremely well in the opening weekend netting Rs 12 crore in India and overseas. It is the highest grossing movie ever for the lead pair combination. Director Imtiaz Ali is being feted widely for this clever creation.
Imtiaz Ali dismisses the theory that the movie did well because of the real life story of the break up of the golden couple, the lead pair of Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor . He says people have enough fodder for that in the yellow press.
The songs by Pritam are soft and soothing as well as lively and effervescent. Cinematographer S Natrajan Subramanian’s camera captures the snow-clad peaks of Manali as delightfully as the mad cap,winding train journey..
In all, Jab We Met is fresh, romantic and a package worth savoring at least once.

dont watch a lot of hindi films, but had a go at this film and was pleasently surprised with the overall quality. smart and well written script, brilliant performance by Karina and Shahid was equally upto the task although the role warranted more mature actor, melodious music by pritam and competent direction. rightly said it is a winner and ppl will remember this for a long time. karina be choosy and we appreciate your acting.
