i did not expect too much from movie as i thought it will be just another mainstream boring love story and also i don't like acting of kareena and shahid as they always do overacting and always believe in dancing and being pretty as if they are not actors but some models who are advertising for a cheap product.but this time they surprised me,imtiaz Ali wrote a very nice script full of adventure,fun and romance.this is the only movie of kareena and shahid together that did good business at box office and also it was their last movie,as they breakup during shooting.this is the first movie of kareena in which she did a good acting and shahid did not show his style but did a mature performance.kareena did a good job in a role Punjabi girl who don't care about anything,funny and daring.shahid also show some maturity in his acting in a role of,serious,very rich ,depressed businessman runaway from home.this movie is not like mainstream cinema Rom-com but have good script,with good performances and above all good direction from imtiaz Ali in his first movie. his presen- tation is very new and refreshing.comedy in the movie is very new and path breaking for Indian cinema.songs are very good and melodious.if you love bollywood movies and bored of traditional mainstream cinema,watch this,totally refreshing,adventurous ,funny movie which will not disappoint you.

Like his first movie, Imtiaz Ali's 'Jab We Met' is also a romantic comedy about two people meeting in unusual circumstances where one of them is already 'taken'. This film has a slightly larger budget and the scenic locations are breathtaking. It's a pity you don't see much of India's beauty in more movies these days. 'Jab We Met' starts off with a heartbroken Aditya (Shahid Kapur) who wanders his way to a train where he has an encounter with a chatterbox runaway bride-to-be (Kareena Kapoor). From there on begins a journey that heads for a destination neither one of them expected to reach. The best part is the first part of the movie, right up till the point when Geet and Aditya reach her parent's house in Bhatinda, is very enjoyable. The innovative humour and situations are refreshing. The special effects are very poor but once you're passed that, it's easy to overlook this flaw. However, after Bhatinda, things take a turn towards clichés and the intense moments thereafter don't have much of an effect and they drag on for a while. The pace picks up again after Aditya finds Geet and takes her to her parents. Most of the songs are nothing memorable except 'Yeh Ishq' sung wonderfully by the vivacious Sunidhi Chauhan. Shahid Kapur turns in a decent performance while Kareena Kapoor is okay in the comedic scenes and average in the intense sequences. 'Jab We Met' may not be Imtiaz Ali's best but it is an amusing watch and way more entertaining than his latest, 'Love Aaj Kal'.

Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met is one of the most refreshing love stories made in recent times. It is a very simple, interesting and charming film about a heart-broken and serious guy who meets an extremely vivacious and talkative girl who gradually manages to change his perception of life and love. And then, the story turns over in a rather interesting way. The film works better in the first half, as it is more alluring and funny. It later turns into a mini-drama but still in a natural way with a lot of comedy and fun. The music is great and each song contributes to the film's mood in its own way. The film stars Shahid Kapoor in a greatly restrained and impressive act as Aditya, but it is Kareena Kapoor's film all the way. Her comic timing is top-notch, and she is charming, convincing and full of life as the unforgettable Geet. Later on she also provides some superbly acted dramatic scenes, which she plays with unusual restraint and depth. Jab We Met is a very memorable picture, extremely entertaining and uplifting, and definitely a must-see for those who enjoy pleasant, comic and romantic flicks.
