Well, jaane tu ya Jaane na why, but this movie rocks, at least for the time that you are watching it. Only when the movie gets over, and you are back home or probably the next day morning while having tea, you understand that there was nothing new in the movie, no storyline, the theme was very predictable and you have seen it all a thousand times before in other movies.
But frankly speaking, all that's besides the point. The bottom line is the movie is a must watch, if not for the story, then for the performances. The friend circle of the lead actors makes the picture lively and fun to watch. All of them have been well cast and play their part to the best. The flash back story telling thing has never been such fun to watch before. The lead actor Imran Khan as Jai Singh Rathore is extremely impressive and his dialogue delivery and expressions are perfect to suit the movie demands. His dancing skills are limited as can be viewed in steps for the song "Pappu can't dance, saala" but then who cares as long as he acts well. Genelia D'Souza as Aditi also gives a stellar performance and it is actually she who keeps you hooked onto the movie. Her voice is just lovely and facial expressions cute. You really do know what's going to happen next as the story line is predictable, but the way it comes out on screen, makes you feel good about it.
The storyline is pretty straight. Boy and girl are good friends and not good lovers, until the boy gets a girlfriend and the girl gets a boyfriend, and then the realization dawns that "pyaar dosti hai, rahul!" . We have seen it all in so many movies like dil to pagal hai, kooch kooch hota hai, and several more, but the way the movie unfolds, it's still good enough to watch.
It's probably the first movie where I liked the duo of Sohail and Arbaaz khan, their on-screen time, although very limited, adds to the fun factor and Ratna Pathak with Naseeruddin Shah give another good performance. The director has to be credited for bringing the best out of each actor and making the repeated formula line of "pyaar dosti hai, rahul" an enjoyable experience to watch. A R Rahman's music and back ground score is just another of the reasons as to why you need to watch this movie at least once .
