Review:
A nephew wins over a son. The nephew of star Aamir Khan, Imraan Khan, mesmerizes his audience with his debut 'Jaane Tu Jaane Naa' with his sexy looks and histrionic skills. The female star Genelia D'Souza looks very cute & bubbly and performs excellently well. 
Imraan Khan has followed in the footsteps of his father Mansoor Khan who launched Aamir Khan in his 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' (QSQT) though Imraan's movie falls far short in respect of script, music and the treatment.
Still, Genelia D'Souza looks good as long as she doesn't speak a dialogue. No sooner she delivers a dialogue than she is exposed. Though it has some comic sequences, but suffers from inconsistency. This flaw in the movie's story is somewhat taken care of by the deftness of debutante director Abbas
Tyrewala.
Let's analyze the story that revolves around the central character of Jai Singh Rathod played by 
Imraan Khan. While Jai aka 'Rats' is by far the most non-violent Rajput (unusua
l though) hates to pick up fights, bubbly Aditi Mahan aka 'Meow' is quite a violent person. She screams, shouts and brings the whole house down. However, Jai is capable of calming her. Though belonging to two opposite directions, they attract each other.
In spite of their chemistry being the same, they are too good friends to think on such lines. But, soon they realize that this chemistry is nothing but love. In the story, Jai (Karan known as Rotlu) is accompanied by a bunch of three friends -- Alishka (as Bombs), Nirav (as Jiggy) and Sughanda (as Shaleen). All of them play their roles well but disappear later leaving no trace.
While Ratna Pathak Shah and her husband (in real life) Naseerudin Shah are at their best, Jayant Kripalani and Anuradha Patel (as Genelia's parents) are sweet and Ayaz Khan (as Genelia's fiance) leaves an impression. Paresh Rawal is fantastic (his usual) in a comic role. Alas, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan hardly have a role to play and therefore disappoint the audience. Hence, everyone in the cast has justified his or her role. The director though a newcomer has fared very well.
The film is good for the young ones who would like to relive their past breezy
college times. Besides, its two songs - "Kabhi Kabhi" and "Pappu Can't Dance" are worth remembering. We wish the director had made the second part of the movie as interesting as the first one. Thus, the movie would have ended with a proper climax and will not be a loser as it is likely to meet its low cost.
