Rotten P Jan 3 Jab We Met is a delightful whirlwind of romance, humor, and heartfelt emotion, anchored by the charismatic performances of Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor. The film seamlessly blends comedic timing with moments of genuine vulnerability, creating a story that feels both entertaining and deeply human. Director Imtiaz Ali crafts a narrative that balances playful spontaneity with emotional resonance, making the characters’ journeys engaging and relatable. With vibrant cinematography, memorable music, and a story that captures the charm of serendipitous love, Jab We Met remains a standout in Bollywood romantic cinema, offering audiences laughter, tears, and a truly unforgettable ride.

See more 08/22/2021 First of all let's get my pet peeve over with. Jab We Met, seriously? Like what, you met each other and then gave each other a jab? It should have been Jub We Met. With that said, Jab We Met was one of the first films that I watched after we got our TV. There are many things I like about this film and there are many that I don't. My mom really liked this film and had told us to watch it too. I wasn't really into watching films since I was at the age of watching cartoons (and since the TV had just come, I was more interested in the cartoons). And so I watched it, and it's pretty mediocre. Jab We Met is a character driven, light hearted film. The story moves with the characters. So here we have two characters. Aditya is a software engineer or a singer (I have no idea what he was) who is very depressed and got on a train because he wanted to commit suicide. Geet is a happy go lucky woman who is about to get married in Bhatinda. She is constantly trying to talk to him with many jump cuts from the same camera angle. Finally she misses the train and decides to take Aditya with himself. They both go to Bhatinda, where Manjeet is about to marry Geet. But Geet and Aditya run away from home because Geet loves someone else who basically ignored her. So afterwards their situations exchange. Now Geet is depressed and Aditya is happy. But since she ran from home, her family gets Aditya and tells him to find her so that she comes back home and gets married to Manjeet. But when they are back, Geet asks Aditya if Manjeet is looking at them and when Aditya says he is, she hugs him. And that's why their marriage is called off. Because friends never hug each other, especially not in 2007. The film is funny, though the acting, choreography, story are all terrible. It's one of those films that you would keep your mind away while watching. It's like a Govinda film for an educated audience. The fact that a film like Jab We Met is considered so good and nostalgic clearly shows how bad Bollywood is. In order to create memories we have to compromise on such a mediocre, senseless film. Nowadays we have many films like these, but this is what will live on with us because it was one of the first films to give us a taste of this genre. See more Read all reviews
