There are only a handful of movies which get the distinction of being cut-above-the-rest. "Jab We Met" is an ordinary story which is given extra-ordinary treatment by Imtiaz Ali which makes the entire proceedings an interesting watch. Every scene shines in brilliance as if they were cherry-picked and delivered on the screen.
Kareena Kapoor:: The bubbling and bursting with verbal diarrhoea "Geet" I am sure you and I have met somebody of the likes at least once. Tailor- made for Kareena Kapoor and she delivers with utmost perfection at ease. It reminds me the Jekyll & Hyde which was earlier attempted in "Chandni" and that role did wonders to Sridevi's career. No wonder Kareena catapulted to the big league subsequently.
Shahid Kapoor:: Easily manages to don the hats of a heart-broken lover to enthusiastic and a suave technocrat brimming with fresh ideas.
The supporting cast is good namely Dara Singh, Pavan Malhotra and Kiran Juneja. You can't help but pity for Tarun Malhotra (such is the characterisation of Anshuman).
There is not a single dull moment in the movie. The screenplay sails like a breeze. Every time the movie is aired on telly, I can't resist to watch it. The music had a slow-start but later on went to become a must have in the collection.
"Jab We Met" turned corners for three people namely Imtiaz Ali, Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor.
