Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na - Story Line

Our story beings at the airport. With a story.

When Rotlu, Jiggy, Bombs & Shaleen offer to tell Mala the tale of Jai & 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 & sorrows, happiness & heartbreak, laughter & songs, fights and a climax at the airport.

And indeed Jaane Tu....Ya Jaane Na is all 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 in to 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 parents should have rinsed her mouth when she was a child. Aditi thinks that Jai is the biggest coward she has ever encountered. Heaven, it seems, has mixed its apples & 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 its 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 faithful 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, atleast of the last few years.

Ok, maybe this year.

Fine, the coolest, warmest...etc to release on Friday 4th July, 2008.
