Our story begins at the airport. With a story.
 When Rotlu. Jiggy, Bombs and Shaleen offer to tell
Mala the tale of Jai and Aditi - a match made in the
pastry shop of heaven - Mala is convinced that she
is in for yet another clichéd love story with joys
and sorrows, happiness and heartbreak, laughter and
songs, fights... and a climax at the airport.
And indeed, Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na is all of that.
And more!
Meet Jai Singh Rathore ('Rats'), the most
non-violent Rajput either side of the Aravallis. And
meet, if you dare, the violent and passionate Aditi
Mahant ('Meow'). Whatever you do, do not pick a
fight with her. She scratches. And abuses. If you do
get into a scrap, take cover till Jai arrives, as he
alone can calm our snarling wildcat.
Never was there a less likely couple. Jai thinks
Aditi's [arents should have rinsed her mouth with
soap when she was a child. Aditi thinks that Jai is
the biggest coward she has ever encountered. Heaven,
it seems, has mixed up its apples and oranges.
More nuts in this fruitcake scenario: Rotlu weeps
secretly for Aditi. Bombs' heart explodes for Jai.
Jiggy applies golden mascara to his hair. Shaleen...
Well, she's probably the only one who doesn't seem a
few notes short of a concerto.
So, to come back to our story: Jai and Aditi are
perfect for each other (in some odd, distorted way,
impossible to understand). Friends know this.
Parents know this. Everybody knows this. But do Rats
and Meow know?
Can two people ever, truly, know the secrets of
their hearts? And how do you know it's the real
thing?
When do you know it's love?
 Add to this quandary a quarrelling portrait, strange
dreams of a desert warrior, a dope-head brother and
his pet mouse, two Rajput 'cowboys', three ancestral
conditions, a fateful night in jail, a climactic
ride to the airport...
... And there, you have it! Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na.
The coolest, warmest, hippest, funniest
musical-romantic-comedy of the decade.
Well, at least of the last few years.
Ok, maybe this year.
Fine, the coolest, warmest... etc. to release on
Friday 4th July, 2008.
For Sure!
