   Movie is surely an excellent example for other directors giving a hind what actually audience and youngsters want and expect. So please make sensible movie all you directors out there

   JTYJN is an extremely good movie
   I personally would give it a 4 on 5 rating
   Imran Khan makes an impressive debut of which mamu jaan should be glad
   On the other hand Genelia is chirpy bubbly and a big bully
   Nirav Mehta as Jiggy(Jignesh) makes us laugh at times
   Rotlu is an extremely well written character
   Naseeruddin Shah stands out
   What more..AR Rehman’s score is at bull’s eye
   So at the end of day ………………
   Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Naaaa??

   the movie is really fresh, even though it is a repeated story line we have seen so many times but i think what makes it different is the way it has been presented. very natural not hyped and something people could relate to.. well done.

   Totally loved the movie, a fantastic example of how the most trite storyline can be injected with genuine spirit and gusto by some good performances and smart scripting.

   While Imran and Genelia did their requisite jobs as the lead pair (I still think Genelia has to do something about her diction though), some of the supporting cast and their corresponding characters contributed largely to make the film interesting for me. Amit’s character was beautifully conceived and portrayed magnificently by Prateik Babbar. At the first instance of Meghna’s “What’s this?” game I thought she would turn out to be an annoying Madeline Bassett (”Don’t you think the stars are God’s daisy chain? ) type character, but I liked the way she shaped up eventually - definitely flawed, but still just trying to find a way to cope with a painful situation. It’s these kind of things that make the film fresh and entertaining.

   Oh, and to my considerable embarrassment, I was the only one to get the “Waiting for Godot” reference in the last scene, laughing out loud in an otherwise grimly silent theater :D

It’s these kind of things that make the film fresh and entertaining.

   It was also a nice touch, making Mala a sort of metaphor for the audience, and the story converts even the most die-hard cynic and naysayer into a fan by the end of the film. Smart, that.
