Article Updated 26 October, 2007 06:09:37 PM IST   Jab We Met By Our Correspondent ©2007 Bollyvista.com   After 'Socha Na Tha', director Imtiaz Ali comes up with a wonderful breezy entertainer. Two diametrically opposite characters Aditya Kashyap (Shahid Kapoor) and Geet (Kareena Kapoor) come across each other on a train. Aditya is nursing heartbreak, while Geet is returning home to Bhatinda. She is also immensely fascinated by the idea of getting married and has plans of soon eloping with her boyfriend, Anshuman (Tarun Arora). Geet misses her train once too often and Aditya eventually ends up escorting her home. How they are attracted to each other, separate and come together again summarizes the rest of the plot. The plot of the film has been done quiet a few times before in India, as well as internationally. What sets it apart is the excellent writing and direction by Imtiaz Ali. The first half of the film is a thorough entertainer, replete with enjoying and endearing moments. The second half of the film gets emotional and is a tad bit long, but eventually the film culminates in a wonderful climax. This film is definitely Kareena's best performance to date. She essays the fun loving and talkative character of Geet with aplomb and anybody else doing so much justice to the role seems unimaginable! Shahid Kapur shows remarkable maturity in his performance and breathes life into the character. Pawan Malhotra and Dara Singh essay characters, who comprise Geet's family and are very endearing in their small roles. Kiron Juneja and Divya Seth form the rest of the supporting cast. Tarun Arora performs like a wimp, but suits the character to a "T". Music by Pritam is very good, which includes songs like "Hum Jo Chalne Lage", "Ye Ishq Haye", "Nagada, Tumse Hi" and "Mauja Hi Mauja". Cinematography by Nataraja Subramanian is good. The choreography by Ashley Lobo is a big letdown and does not do justice either to the songs or the performers. All in all, the film is a must watch, and most of the credit goes to Director Imtiaz Ali and Kareena Kapoor. **** (Four Stars)   close   Print this Article http://www.bollyvista.com   http://www.bollyvista.com/article/a/29/8242
