Jab We Met is  typical Bollywood romantic film : 5-6 songs poured in , designer clothes, one big Punjabi family, boy – girl have fights then live happily ever after. On the story front, Jab We Met is as predictable as it gets. Now it’s up to the actors to lift this film up. Shahid Kapur gets into the skin of his character perfectly and does a commendable job. But it’s Kareena Kapoor who steals the show with her non stop jabbering vivacious performance . The fact that Kareena looks simply fabulous in the film, is simply icing on the cake. Though both Kareena and Shahid give good individualistic performances, the chemistry is seriously missing. There is no romance in the air and that’s a big minus point for Jab We Met. Imtiaz Ali’s movie Jab We Met has all the trappings of a romantic entertainer.

The film doesn’t boast of a very unique story. What makes it interesting is the way it has been presented by Imtiaz Ali . ‘Jab We Met&rs
