You can make movies with love stories in different ways or stick to the same boy-meets-girl routine. To come with up an innovative story is a challenging task. You need to break out of the rut. JAB WE MET is one such movie.

It comes across as refreshing mainly due to its strong script and the acting skills of its protagonists Aditya (Shahid Kapoor) and Geet (Kareena Kapoor). Their earlier movies might have been duds and their off screen romance didn't exactly ignite the romance on-screen. However this time around they do manage to scorch the screen with their intense chemistry. It's just a coincidence that they have delivered a hit just when they split up :)

The movie is well sustained by the songs and Pritam's melodious music. My favourites "Hum jo chalne lage", "Na Khona bhi hain" (slow one) and the foot tapping "Mauja".
