There is a girl and there is a boy. Both are extremely different yet are extremely close to each other. Girl is rich,Jaane Tu … Ya Jaane Na Articles tongue-in-check, dominant and aggressive while the  boy has a middle-class upbringing and is submissive, soft-spoken and calm. Opposites attract and so do they but not as lovers, as friend! So when do they realize its love?

Jai (Imran) and Aditi (Genelia) are best friends and are extremely possessive of each other but are definitely not in love. They long for each other’s company and still wonder why close friends and believe that they re in love! After giving a deep thought, both realize its high time they find themselves a special someone too since one can’t spend lifetime with best friend! However, when they do find their respective ‘special someone’ they realize love is not about finding a perfect some-one; it’s about feeling perfectly happy with an imperfect partner.

The film is definitely not flawless. There are rough cuts here and there, especially in terms of editing Imran gets a tailor-made role for him, as his petite personality and casual attitude makes him fit the bill of Jai perfectly. He struggles with his expressions initially as he gets stuck with one ‘surprised raised eyebrows’ expression but gets better later on. Genelia over shadow Imran big time. She looks extremely fresh and lights up the screen with her presence.

Prateik Babar, Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak come up with brilliant performances and provide you with all the light moments in the film. Sohail and Arbaaz Khan too tickle your funny bone with their cameos.

Imran’s girlfriend Avanitika too makes a special appearance in the film. JTYJN definitely deserves a watch … and not just for Imran.
