Watch Jab We Met For Free

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Wealthy businessman Aditya (Shahid Kapoor), depressed over a broken relationship, walks out of his job and gets on the first train he sees, not caring where he goes. Here he meets feisty Geet (Kareena Kapoor), who tries to chatter with him, despite his brush-off attempts. When he walks off the train, she tries to retrieve him, and in the end the train leaves without them. Aditya helps her return home, and finds himself attracted to Geet's childish enthusiasm. Geet, however, already has a boyfriend with whom she plans to elope.This comedy-drama is a delight. The plot is both lighthearted and serious, and at times the viewer wonders how there will be a happy ending. Kareena excels at her vivacious role, and Shahid is convincing throughout Aditya's gradual changes and emotions. With the exception of the last one, which I actively disliked both song and dance, the music and choreography were good. This romance is one that I would universally recommend.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: This is my most favorite movie written and directed by Imitiaz Ali. The filming locations, the visuals, the other factors everything is worked out well (4/5).Tone: A free spirited girl (Geet) meets depressed business tycoon (Aditya) and shows him the ways to live life a different way. He returns the favor by not only making her remember that but also getting to choose him as his best partner (4/5).Music: Music is very good (4/5).Acting: Everybody has acted well, people in main lead as well as people acting in side lead (4/5).Final Verdict: It is worth adding to your DVD collection [(4/5) (9/10)].

So, I just re-watched this movie after a gap of a decade, which lead to seeing it in a different way. And it's even better than I remember. The casting is on point, the acting is on point and everything is just perfect, from the locations, to the plot. A young man gets his final blow in life when his ex marries someone else. It is revealed that after his father passed away, his mother ran away with someone else, and he discovers his parents never loved each other. Even though he was rich, he was still a human. Then comes a bubbly Punjabi girl, Geet into question. I used to dislike Kareena because I felt she was too 'lewd' in her earlier roles, but she won me over with this movie. I knew this movie was an instant hit as soon as I saw the chemistry between the leads.There's never a boring moment in the movie, and the songs are pretty addictive too. Overall, its a very sweet movie, and we see how Anshuman takes Geet's love and sacrifice for granted. One could argue that Anshuman never asked her to do all that, but I feel that he never really valued her until she took a stand for herself and barraged him with abuses - which is again a classic scene. Even if she never met Aditya, she'd either waste her life away in the girls hostel or regret her marriage with Anshuman, who'd turn out to be an abusive jerk.Aditya's maturity is highlighted when he tells Anshuman how much Geet sacrificed for him. It does take a mature person to empathize, and see what others go through. In my opinion, Bollywood won't be able to produce a movie of this level ever, and the chemistry between the leads is just golden. That's why it gets a 10/10 from me.

A guy dumped by his girlfriend and a lady running away from her home to elope with her boyfriend finding their true love forms the plot of this bubbly, sweet romantic movie. Well, the story isn't new nor does it have any layers or novelty in its story telling. The film presents the glimpses of many successful romantic Bollywood Movies like "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge" or "Pyar To Hona Hi Tha." The film avoids much of its stardom values and offers simplicity which makes it pretty adorable despite a wafer thin story-line and a plain treatment. Shahid Kapoor's performance though not very polished still is tolerable; but Kareena's bubbly image gets pretty hyped in this film. Music and direction gets pretty engaging which supports the often predictability of the story and makes it engaging.Rating: 2 stars out of 4
