spoiler alert - you have been warned...
i don't see what the fuss is about. everyone's raving about it. a friend whose taste in movies i most humbly respect told me it's better than dil chahta hai! PSHAW!!!!!!!!!!!! like hell! nothing can ever be better than dil chahta hai!!!!! i'm a die-hard fan, don't ever mess with that hehe... and no, i do NOT think this was better than taare zameen par, which was so moving, so nice, apart from one song... i thought JTYJN was a cute movie, but that's just about it. i seriously did not understand the deal with the girl's bro - sensitive is one thing, but resenting ur sis making friends is just crazy. i did not get that! get a life, dude, make ur own friends! and many things were overdone - which we do not expect from the A folk - Aamir, Apple... :P sohail and arbaaz were overdone (but they always are) (but good to see mainstream people in aamir's movie!). the evil fiance totally wrong for her was soooo totally overdone and unnatural!!! c'mon, somebody can be wrong for u just cos u love somebody else, they don't have to be mean evil bastard for u to see that. give a smart gal some credit yaar, and not punches in the eye! and the naseer-in-a-photu angle was so monumentally stupid i could not believe i was seeing that kinda lame-ass bullshit in an aamir movie! will somebody please give that super-talented actor some decent work??????? aamir, did u make this one from the heart???
that said, the first part with the lead pair's camaraderie totally rocked, Imran and Genelia are soooo cute and it was a lovely feel-good movie at the end of it all, even if it was a no-brainer! and the stylistic element of telling the story and converting the non-believer also added a nice touch, i thought... and the ever-delightful ratna pathak shah ahhhh!!!
there, i said it! phew! i am so sick of trying to smile as people rave about this movie! i don't get it! are people now praising movies just because aamir is making them? have they forgotten why he was so great after all? subtlety! content! this one is definitely below par... :( i guess that's part of the problem - super-high expectations based on past performance... looking forward to the next one, aamir, i love your work!
