Jab we met- Where the boring meet some the cheerful

You're depressed and suicidal thoughts loom around your mind. You've given up on life and just as you think of spending the last few hours of your life in peace, probably having a senti flashback, a ray of hope (or should I say nuisance) comes your way. Bubbly and energetic like crazy, she makes you realise that such people actually exist in this world and there you are, thinking of killing yourself as the tension and irritation rises.

Aditya Kashyap, son of the late industrialist, gets tired of his life and takes a bold decision of committing suicide. He boards a train and decides to jump off once it picks up speed. As he's sitting in the train, a girl comes along and starts talking to him. She goes on, not realising that she's being a nuisance, giving every small, insignificant detail about her entire existence! Finally, Aditya can't hold it in anymore and shouts at her explaining how he is least bothered about knowing her life. She then quietens down for while, to an extent.

Aditya then decides to get off at some random station and as the train starts to move, the girl runs out to call him and ends up missing her train. She storms back to him and gives a lecture about what his actions have caused. Aditya tries running away from her but she is a force to reckon with. Relentlessly following him, he gives up and promises to get her back home safely.

After walking for a while the girl introduces herself as Geet and unbelievably starts asking questions about his favourite movie, actor and other random questions which leave Aditya bewildered, seeing the sheer energy and excitement contained in this person. They then travel in a bus to Geet's place, Bhatinda and Geet insists Aditya to stay the week.

Soon, the family starts liking Aditya and Geet reveals her one big secret and asks for his advice. She was in love with this man, Anshuman but her family always planned her to get married to Manjeet. Since she refused to handle emotional blackmail, the only solution she saw was to run away and get married!

As reluctant as he is, Aditya is forced to leave on this unexpected journey with unexpected perils and dangers ahead (not to mention the danger he's travelling with!). And so starts their journey to the hills where they reveal more secrets of each other and understand each other more deeply. The question is, will Geet be able to marry Anshuman and get back home? Will Aditya ever be given a chance to get away from her? Answers to these lie in this movie.

A fun, peppy and cheerful movie right from the first frame, Jab we met is what it is because of the amazing acting skills of Kareena Kapoor. How she manages to go on and on for minutes without a pause is mind-boggling! Personally, I feel the humour in the story reaches its peak halfway through the movie and drastically comes down in the other half. Yet it is a very entertaining film with the usual Bollywood masala, maybe just a dash more. A must watch from my side!
