Yes, there's no story to speak of....and yet the film says a lot in those 2.5 hrs...
Yes, the characters are caricaturish at times...and yet they are straight out of ur and my life...
Yes, the guy and girl take quite some time to realise thr feelings for each other...and yet, it seems so perfectly natural on thr part...
Yes, the parents shown in the film are nothing like real-life parents...and yet you can find a lot of similarities in your own parents...
Yes, the basic premise of telling a story seems very very familiar...and yet it works big time...u feel just lik the newcomer in the grp who feels lik she's known Ratz and Meow since ages...
Yes, A R Rehman's work is very different frm his recent releases...and yet its so so refreshing and rocking!!!All the songs are just A-Ma-Zing...esp Aditi,Pappu,Kahin To,Nazrein Milana,Jaane Tu Meri and the jazzy title track (heck! dint i just list the entire album?! :) )
Yes, Genelia sounds like a cross between Tara Sharma and Kim Sharma at times...and yet her spontaneity and sincerity are so heart-warming,u start liking Aditi for wat she is!
Yes, Imran may not be our generation's answer to Aamir....and yet, he comes up with such a natural,underplayed and adorable performance tht u cant help thinking here's a lad who'll sneak up the ladder silently b4 othrs begin to realise tht he hs actually surpassed thm all in terms of quality...
Yes, Prateik Babber's debut (Smita Patil and Raj Babber's son) may hv been sidelined by the more illustrious newcomer in the movie....and yet, he comes up with an absolutely brilliant performance tht clearly shows the gene pool he belongs to (i'm of course referring to Smita Patil here :) )
Yes, the cameos by Paresh Rawal and Khan bros look forced in the screenplay just to up the slapstick quotient....and yet you find urself thoroughly enjoying thr scenes....esp the 'Aidus :D' scene and 'Ranjhore ka Rathore' bit...
Yes,Naseeruddin Shah plays yet another bit-role...and yet, i cant remember the last time when he actually did justice to his talent and made me laugh so much with his poker-faced humor...
Yes, the climax is a 'beaten-to-death' airport scene abound with cliches...and yet it manages to bring a wide smile on ur face...and touches ur heart when Imran sings the evergreen Shashi Kapoor number...
Yes, the culmination to the story and especially the means to it are silly...and yet u find urself willing to suspend disbelief and believe it all...
Yes, the film, in retrospect, offers nothing new...and yet you can relate so much to everything that u end up loving it!Yes, it may not be considered a patch on the Director's earlier scriptwork (Munnabhai MBBS,Maqbool)...and yet,its a triumph in itself, not just for him but for the entire young,bubbly team...
Yes, i generally dont like silly love stories which hv nothing new to offer...and yet, i enjoyd this film so much tht in all probability, i'll shell out 200 bucks more to watch it again :)
As refreshing as a breeze of fresh air which lightly grazes ur face when standing on the edge of a steep cliff...JTYJN is an immensely enjoyable slice of life!
To quote a couple of lines frm the film....
"Mana kabhi kabhi saare jahaan mein andhera hota hai,
Lekin raat ke baad hi to sawera hota hai!"
JTYJN pierces the pitch dark 1st half of 2008 just like a refreshing ray of sunlight ! :)
