A story about selfless love, passion and living your life
to the fullest, Jab We Met mesmerized viewers when the film first released in
2007 to packed theatres. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the film stormed the box
office and emerged as a blockbuster within a couple of days. And it wasn’t long
before this Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor starrer achieved cult status. Now,
as the film celebrates the 10 year milestone following its release,
&pictures, Naye India Ka Blockbuster Movie Channel, gives viewers the opportunity
to relive the Jab We Met experience through Geet (Kareena Kapoor Khan) and
Aditya’s (Shahid Kapoor) story on 26th October 2017 at 10:30 AM.
Along with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shahid Kapoor, the film also saw memorable
characters like Anshuman (Tarun Arora), Roop (Saumya Tandon), Dada ji (Dara
Singh), and many more.
Director Imtiaz Ali says, “When making a movie you try
to do your best, you write your best, you try to make it as natural and fun.
But one thing I have realized is that if you put artificiality in a film and
try to make it spicy, for that moment, those things start looking very
redundant very soon. Keeping it pure is very essential in order for it to be
remembered. The movie is about positivity; it gives you hope, makes you smile,
especially that part when Kareena Kapoor, on the terrace of her building, tells
Shahid, “Life is a game. Let’s enjoy it. Getting stressed about it doesn’t make
it easier”. I think that was the icing on the cake in the film. I feel elated
that people love the simplicity of the movie. It is not the usual love story
where the boy meets girl and they fall in love. You can relive the magic of Jab
We Met on 26th October on &pictures SD at 10:30AM and &pictures HD at
8PM.”
Actor Saumya Tandon who essayed the role of Geet’s
sister, Roop, recollects, “Jab We Met was my first film. I remember I was
called to the Ashtavinayak office and I met director Imtiaz Ali. I was not sure
about doing a small role in Jab We Met. Imtiaz gave me the film script and
asked me to read Geet’s dialogues and he read Aditya’s lines. We were reading
aloud and, as I read along, I almost got swept into the scenes. The dialogues
were so endearing the script was so fresh that I fell in love with it. By the
end of the reading session totally charmed by Imtiaz and the script of ‘Jab We
Met’. I’d decided in my head I will be a part of this.”
The story of a miserable business tycoon, Aditya, Jab We
Met follows his life when he chances upon a chirpy and overly enthusiastic Geet
during a train ride. Their paths continue to cross, to the extent that Aditya
finds himself in charge of ensuring that Geet reaches her family in Bhatinda
safely. Along the way, Geet showcases the happy-go-lucky side to her
personality which teaches Aditya many life lessons which help him to build a
strong future. But life, for Geet, comes to a stumbling halt when after eloping
to Manali to meet the love of her life Anshuman (Tarun Arora), she finds
herself lonely and heartbroken.
What went wrong in Geet’s fun-filled life? Will Aditya be
able to rescue her?
