Trivia:

This is Imran Khan's first movie. In the song Pappu Can't Dance Sala, the line "Papa Kehte Hain Bada Naam Kare Ga" is sung. "'Papa Kehte Hain" was a song in Aamir Khan's (Imran's uncle) first movie "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak". Just as "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak" was made by Aamir's uncle, Imran's movie is made by his two uncles (Mansoor Khan and Aamir Khan).

Feel good - all the way

Its been a long time since we've had a good bollywood movie. Well, JTYJN did a good job breaking the bad spell. I could go on about how good the movie is and how well it handles the tricky subjects of love and friendship and their wild interactions. But its not just about these, the film touches various other subjects with amazing expertise. We rarely have films which have the masala for the masses as well as being well made without too many clichés. JTYJN is one of those rare wonders. Imraan does a fair job for a debutant. Jenelia settles in as Aditi with total comfort, its almost as if she were really Aditi. The supporting "friends and co." do a decent job as well. I'd say, go for it - twice. Take along your friends, lovers, neighbors, and whoever you meet on the way to the theaters. Two thumbs up to this one!
