Jane tu...ya jane na......

Grow old with me…..the best is yet to be!!

Touching the so very old theme of friends not knowing they are in love and further unable to express the same when they actually realize it. Friends whom you keep teasing with someone else's name, though at the bottom of your heart you would not want him/her to be away from you. A friend who you feel is absolutely no match for you, but later realize that no one understands you as much as him/ her. That being who has been so much a part of the hedonism, your pranks, your problems that he/ she cannot remain “just a friend”. That being who has an existential map having ‘you are here’ written all over it."

The movie is full of some good college bakwaas, some real catchy tunes, cute faces, dumb looks, a Naseeruddin Shah talking through Photo frames and aapdo Gujju bhai Jiggy organizing his own surprise Birthday party, albeit some irritating scenes at times (it actually starts with a funeral for a cat). But every frivolous scene is ‘maaf ’ for the way the movie gets built up. For in spite of everything being so predictable you keep yourself telling just one single word till the end “Cute”.

Kitne ajeeb rishte hai yaha pe
Do pal milte hai sath sath chalte hai
Ek mod aye to yuhi chale jate hai

And the special friend doesn’t meet to just walk away from your life someday. Thankfully Jai realizes this Just in Time.
Wisdom too often does not come and one ought not to reject it merely because it came late!!!
