Just ain't happening. Now, your review takes "vicarious pleasure" to a whole new level. I'm sure I'm echoing collective sentiments when I say that ever since I started reading your reviews, I can't seem to pinpoint which I enjoy more...my own movie moments or being an avid listener as you relate yours. And for some reason, aspects of "Jab We Met" as you describe it, brought forth buried "Rayil Sneham" memories (so much so I'm willing to take back my rant in your KB post from last week). :-) Maybe it's the effect of: "They meet on a train – she’s running away from her hostel.... he’s escaping a painful past...they begin a conversation that builds into the rest of the film."

Me too was there :D And another friend...who was , a bit later, somewhat apologetic ... you know he went ' it cud be my mood at the time of watching the film' ... but the point is that there are quite a bunch I know who really loved that movie, including, of course, myself. Ditto for Jab We Met ... luved the film... and agree to everything u said, in fact it s uncanny, u almost echo my own thoughts.

Initially, to me Kareena's shrill was annoying. But we have to give it to th girl. She simply suited the role of a loud sikhni girl. She was perfect for the role. Her shrill voice kind of did well for the role. Lovely movie. I just feel if it was release a couple of weeks, it would not have suffered the om shanti om syndrome. Nevertheless, soft and sweet movie. Gurudev: Even I liked Ahista Ahista. :) All this apart, I loved the song mauja hi mauja. What a disco number by very own Mikka. I strongly feel he is a very under utilised singer in Bollywood. Baradwaj: Have you got the time to see Sattam Podathey? Please let me know. I have been trying to grab the DVD here in Delhi, but have not been too successful. Tell me about the movie, if you have watched it. Thanks. To begin with, I agree with Meenakshi.

She screams and when she misses the second train her look of shock is less surprise and frustration and more like she just saw Freddie and Jason getting ready to kill her with a chainsaw and a machete. I couldn't watch the whole thing...Socha Na Tha was definitely a winner in my book, but this, looked more like an ad film, a bad one at that.

The story and screenplay is by Imtiaz Ali and I am sure you would appreciate his ability to sketch heartwarming characters in this movie as well. Though I must warn you about the slow pace of the movie and the music which is quite distasteful. Hi Rangan,

Coupla suggestions
1) Can you put hyperlinks when you refer to what you said in another review so we can get to the pearls dropped earlier without having to google
2) many of us read your old reviews and go DVD hunting, so can’t you write reviews of movies which “came and went before anyone knew” and you caught on DVD
