Snapshot of the story
“Jaane tu Ya Jane Na” is an outstanding fun flick from many of the first time debutants like Imran Khan (actor) and Abbas Tyrewala (director). A love story blended with a very close friendship due to which both of the lovers deny their love and think themselves as only good friends. The story is based on the same plot like that of ‘Quyamat Se Quyamat Tak” being a teenage love story. But it is the art director who is able to present it differently.

Storyline
“Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na” is a story of a gang of 6 friends where Jai Singh Rathore aka Rats (played by Imran Khan) and Aditi Mahant aka Meow (played by Genelia D’souza) are the close friends. They are almost made for each other, everyone including their parents, friends knows this fact but they deny and say that they are just simply good friends and nothing more, But it is also another fact that both of them feel uneasy being away from each other.
Once Jai is called by Aditi’s parents for a talk about their engagement but both Jai and Aditi act childishly and reject the proposal. As a result of this Aditi’s parents starts searching for another guy who can be her life partner. When they get the perfect one, they engage Aditi with him. Now the pace of movie is slow and it is stretched a bit, but this is the most interesting part of the movie as due to jealousy from Aditi’s fiancé Jai looks for a girlfriend for himself. In the meantime, both Aditi and Jai realized their love for each other and start seeking each other out to find out whether the love is from both ends or not.
Final Thoughts
Debutant director Abbas Tyrewala did an excellent job. “Jane Tu Ya Jaane Na” very simple story and does not have any thing that excites audience but it is the story narration that did the trick and it became a hit. Debutant Imran Khan - nephew of Amir Khan has done an outstanding job along with Genelia D’souza and gave the best performance. A.R. Rahman was up to the task in making the music for a romantic comedy. Naseerudin Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah, being both mature actors justified their presence on the screen.
Rating
“Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na” scores 8 points out of 10 for the outstanding job done by each and every member of the crew. Movie did well in the box office collecting about $20 million which is quite an achievement.
