Jab We Met !!

It was a lazy saturday evening......I was surfing through the channels,hoping that there will be some interesting programme or a good movie on one of the channel......
The clock was ticking and the time was 8 pm.Just then one of friend called up saying that 'lets go for a movie'.Now this is my problem, if anyone asks me to come for a movie....I just cant say 'NO'.
Unfortunately(or fortunately) there were 2 movies released...'No Smoking' and 'Jab We Met'.
After a little discussion we decided to give a look to the Shahid-Kareena starrer(who knows whether we will see them together again :) :) )
Thanks to Bhool Bhulaiyaa, we got tickets to Jab We Met easily.Believe me we didnt had any expectations from this film as there wont be a single Kareena movie which I will like to see again.
But,to our surprise,the film had a fresh look and Kareena had a great screen presence.....
As the story began to unfold, I realised that the story is the one which we have seen in atleast 10 movies (DDLJ,Dhai Akshar Prem Ke,Kunwara to name a few).
Even though the story was not new, the presentation was too good and the sequences between the lead pair with a touch of humour did make a impact :)
Kareena was amazing in a happy-go-lucky kind of girl.Shahid Kapoor was also good as a looser.
The chemistry between the two was great which was missing in their earlier movies.
The first half was just too good and you expect similar impact in the second half.But the second half is pretty slow as compared to the first.
Full marks to the director Imtiaz Ali.His first movie was 'Socha Na Tha' with Abhay Deol and Ayesha Takia in the lead which was also a watchable movie.
But with Jab We Met, the director shows that he is a good story teller and should be given more chances.He has extracted gr8 performances from the lead pair and has presented the movie in a new fresh way :) There are many sequences in the film which brings a smile to your face effortlessly and the credit should go the captain of the ship.
The music is also good...ofcourse there are no chartbusters but still the songs go well with the situations.
The cinematography is amazing and you wonder why we are not planning to go to Manali for a vacation :)
Good performances from Shahid and Kareena , good presentaion from the Director makes this movie a must watch !!
We left the cinema hall with a smile and thought that the movie was worth a watch :)
