Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na or YJHD: The better rom-com? - Page 3

JTYJN....the love story just felt more convincing in this one. The characters were more real and endearing. One of those BW romcoms where you genuinely root from the bottom of the heart for the pair to get together. And feel an emotional high when they finally do.❤️

YJHD is popcorn entertainment. One of those films that you can let it play in the background every Saturday while you go around doing your everyday chores in the house. I personally was never that convinced with Bunny and Naina's love story. I still think they are a bad match as life partners. Also given that YJHD is a dharma film everything is too extra glitzy for me to completely immerse and invest my emotions into the journey of the characters.

Yaaay ! It's so hard to find people who actually watched the show. It was so such a breath of fresh air. Both the pairs were adorable. Love them ♥️

Great question. Love both films and very difficult to choose so excuse the long essay.

I would say JTYJN is by far the more authentic film as the characters are less filmy and more girl/boy next door. The characters seem extremely rooted in reality and you actually believe their chemistry as old friends who go way back. Even side character like Imran's mother and the villainous police officer are well written and add to the film. The romance is incredibly sweet and it's a very, very well plotted and tight story which is narrated to hilarious effect by Jai and Aditi's friends.

By contrast, YJHD is more filmy, Bunny and Naina are the millennial versions of the Raj and Simran archetypes. Although the characters are likable, they are not like real people at all. The story is also looser- the first half set in Manali almost has no structure and the second half has a lot packed in- we cover the wedding, Bunny's career highs and lows, Kalki's side story, ARK's story and Bunny and Naina falling in love. The film in the absence of a tight plot however still works because it conveys that certain feeling of youth exceedingly well- the restlessness, the pain and the inevitable growing up that both characters eventually go through.

However I am ashamed to say that while JTYJN is imo the more youthful and technically superior film- (it's also endlessly watchable, I watch it atleast once every year)- I do prefer YJHD. I cant explain it but I think it's down to RK and Deepika's really superior and charismatic performances which Jaane Tuu does not have in Imran and Genelia's patchy acting. Yeh Jawaani also has a strong'feeling' or nostalgia that it evokes, which leaves a bigger impact once you're done.

But that's what I think. Dont come at me lol 😂

Word to your post👏

Jaan Tu Ya Jaan Na by far, for me. I still to this day haven't enjoyed YJHD as much as most people seemed to have. It was so basic to me, although the soundtrack and the costumes-hair-make-up-cinematography-choreography were delicious.

Even the acting was better than Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, which was far more patchy and erratic. Genelia was good, but Imran didn't impress me. Ranbir and Deepika were both good.

Well Ranbir and Deepika are 2 all-time greats and were really coming into their own during 2012, Imran and Genelia aren't on that level as much as I found their respective rawness and edge thoroughly appealing...

But I think I just realised my biggest issue: Ranbir's character = cringeFEST, way too filmy, heroic, f*ckboy for my liking 😴 DP of course was dreamy throughout ❤️ okay stop talking about it, I don't wanna watch it again(!!)

Jt was migraine inducing to me🤢
