It sure is old wine. There are surely some cringe-worthy corny moments. It sure is 'inspired', and from multiple sources. It ain't Lagaan, and it sure ain't 'TZP'. But it wasn't meant to be. But should one care?
I say No. Btw, the audience also doesn't care (look at the business it has garnered).
Peppy music, amazing cameos, the return of Paresh Rawal (think 'Mohra'....a little), excellent leads (Genelia though, to be fair, is overdoing it a bit, if one cares to watch Bommarrillu and its tamil remake, plus most of the other stuff she's been in - though she sure is easy on the eyes, and a good actress, perhaps its time to stretch for range). And yes, it was good to see Jayant Kripalani back in the movies after a while (can't forget that smile from his Vicks Vaporub ad). Finally, here's to hoping Kitu Gidwani gets lengthier roles.
RE:It IIISSS a remake!

atleast not like bollywood...coz nowadays all malayalam movies are remaked into hindi and all are success at BO...You do an R&D and you will get to know that 90% of malayalam movies are original stories.
Old story. college buddies in love but never realizes. people around them know well. I was totally astonished when Aamir khan selected this movie to invest on. But the direction and young Ho!group adds a peppy touch and cuteness to the movie. Each character have been given utmost importance in the film. nobody was a waste throughout. The elder and the younger lot was utilised to the best of ability. Hats off to the Sugandha Garg, Nirav Mehta, Karan Makhija and Alishka Varde, the way they carried their role with poise and confidence. Excellent movie, no vulgarity, no romance but still its a love story. Real fun and u cud watch it again.
Watchable movie,Family entertainer,AR Rehman Magic...Its like movie you may have seen 5 years ago...Try to remember..Yes its..."Tujhe Meri kasam". Yes..you can say its remake of this movie with tremondas efforts as per new young generation. Superb acting by Genelia D'Souza[Good Acting realy..],Naseeruddin Shah, Prateik Babbar[Aditi Brother],Ratna Pathak Shah [Jai's mother],Nirav Mehta[Jignesh] and Girl Friend playing his girlfriend,Manjari Phadnis[Meghana] and definately Paresh Rawal.. Their acting made movie tough.....

ohhhh... for you Lagaan and Tare Zamin Par...are like old wine with new bottle... be a man yaar nt like a baby...
I notice that for once the critics and the audience are sort of in agreement about the merits of this film. I think it should be this years official entry to the Oscars....well why not. At least there won't be as many people complaining as in previous years.

Yha. The Academy jury is sitting there to mark a bollywood commercial crap. Think before telling something.
Genelia has acted for the second time in a movie with the same story. The story of JTYJN is very similar to Genelia's launch movie Tujhe Meri Kasam with Ritesh Deshmukh.
