Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na or YJHD: The better rom-com? - Page 2

Both films were about growing up and had great songs. But JTYJN gave a fresh new quirky approach to the same tired trope of friends suddenly discovering that they were in love all along. Ratna Pathak's conversations with Naseer's portrait was hilarious. So were the cousins from the country. All the characters were relatable and had an arc of their own. Even the exes weren't one note. The humor was used to tide over a lot of sad things. Ratna Pathak's loneliness without her husband, Imran's ex-gf's refusal to accept the reality of her dysfunctional family, Aditi's brother's feeling of abandonment when she turned more to her friends etc. It was also about growing up and realising that your parents aren't the people that you thought to be. They are both more and less. YJHD on the otherhand was a candy coated superficial,escape-from-reality-I-refuse-to-grow-up romance worth only a single watch.

Jaane tu ya jaane na.. and I remember really liking the realistic approach and the novelty of it.. (the Rajput father angel or something was fun 😆) And I haven’t actually seen the other one.. and have never felt like watching it either.. ayan for me is just an overrated Akhtar-copycat at best. Esp after that wake up, kid movie.

both are good but JTYJN❤️

This a 100%. JTYJN had such a fresh and young appeal to it.

And yet I still prefer YJHD. Weird right? Maybe it's just nostalgia.

I loved both but end up repeat watching yjhd only

Post interval both the movies sucked but JTYJN had an endearing vibe & lead characters worth about, cant say the same about cringey Bunny & bicchi hui Naina😆

JTYJN was collage teen kind of love story . While YJHD was after college mature love story . I like both the movies

Absolutely. Nostalgia has a lot to answer for a lot of questionable movie choices. I understand your choice to adore YJHD to your last breath.But I'll admit Ranbir and Deepika has sizzling chemistry. Chemistry between the leads of JTYJN was a lot more of the cuddles and cute puppies variety.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.

Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani was a big time crap, an overrated piece of shit

Definitely YJHD , had a lasting impact.
