I watched Jogger's Park when I was in school and loved it. May-November romance which was sensitively depicted and without any frills or dramatic elements. The relationship between 2 people who fell in love despite the odds, and of course there's no quintessential happy ending but the movie had a unique flavour and was drenched in the colours of love.


What I loved the most was that it kept the Indian ethos and sensibilities in mind, and wasn't a rip off any Hollywood movie. An Autumn in New York(2000) had a similar theme but the 2 movies couldn't be more different.


The movie is more like a paean to love and how can it happen in the most unlikely of circumstances, to the most unlikely of people. Poetic and haunting, the music is also worth a hear.


Has anyone watched it??

I watched it too when I was in school and those days I remember had butterfly feelings when I used to watch such movies. Completely different from usual cinema. Thanks for sharing. This will be in my watchlist now. I don't remember the movie scenes at all.

The judge character seems like a hypocrite


I am making this comment without watching the movie, based on the plot I read on Wikipedia

Well, he was conflicted. His family honour came first and that's why he controlled his feelings for Jenny as well. But he did fall in love with her, without the slightest intention to, and that's where the film is trying to teach us that love is something beyond our control. it just happens. The film is taking a morally ambiguous stance.


I am speaking out of my memories which revolve around the film, but honestly I don't remember much about it except the basic storyline. Am planning to watch it again tonight. I believe its there on Zee5
