Jab We Met Dvd

Jab We Met (English: When We Met) is a 2007 Indian romantic comedy film written and directed by Imtiaz Ali. The film, produced by Dhillin Mehta under Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd, stars Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor in their fourth film together with Dara Singh, Pavan Malhotra and Saumya Tandon in supporting roles.

Primarily based in Mumbai, Bathinda, and Shimla, Jab We Met tells the story of a feisty Punjabi girl, Geet Dhillon, who is sent off track when she bumps into a depressed Mumbai businessman, Aditya Kashyap, on an overnight train to Delhi. While attempting to get him back on board when he alights at a station stop, both are left stranded in the middle of nowhere. Having walked out of his corporate business after being dumped by his girlfriend, Aditya has no destination in mind, until Geet forces him to accompany her back home to her family, and then on to elope with her secret boyfriend, Anshuman.

Released in the United Kingdom a day before its worldwide release of 26 October 2007, the film became a hit at the Indian box office as well as overseas. The distributors of the film, Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd, announced that Jab We Met would be remade by corporate entity Moser Baer in four other Indian languages: Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. However, eventually, it was remade only in Tamil as Kanden Kadhalai.

The film fetched several awards, among which was a National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer awarded to Shreya Ghoshal for the song Yeh Ishq Haaye, which remained a chartbuster for many weeks.

Plot

Aditya Kashyap, heir to a wealthy family of industrialists, is depressed and suicidal, and walks out of a major company meeting. He wanders aimlessly until he boards a train where he meets another passenger, Geet Dhillon, an excessively jovial and talkative young girl. Aditya is initially irritated by Geet and exits the train, but she follows him, leaving both of them behind as the train departs. They chase down the train to the next stop, only for Geet to again miss the train while distracted.

Geet wanders the station and is accosted by men who believe her to be a prostitute, but Aditya saves her from trouble and the two book a room at a nearby hotel for the night, where Aditya becomes more comfortable talking to her. Geet is on her way to elope with her boyfriend Anshuman, who her family is unaware of, and she and Aditya depart the next morning for her family home in Bathinda. The two of them grow closer over the journey, and when Geet recognizes Aditya as a public figure, Aditya confides in her that he is depressed because of his company’s financial struggles and his former girlfriend’s marriage to another man.

At Geet’s family home, her relatives are exceedingly grateful to Aditya for keeping Geet safe and ask him to stay with them for the week. Geet’s family attempts to arrange her wedding with her childhood friend Manjeet, but an uninterested Geet pretends to be in love with Aditya to derail their plans. She decides to run away from home in order to elope with Anshuman, and Aditya assists her escape that night, leading Geet’s family to assume she in fact eloped with Aditya. The two of them arrive in Manali, where Anshuman resides; Geet tries to get Aditya to accompany her in meeting Anshuman, but Aditya, who has fallen in love with her, bids her farewell.

Nine months later, Aditya has revived his company’s success and enjoys a renewed optimism owing to the time he spent with Geet. He launches a new product named after her, alerting her family to her possible whereabouts, as she has not contacted them in the preceding nine months. Geet’s uncle comes to Aditya’s office to confront him; Aditya does not know where Geet is, but promises to bring her back in nine days. He returns to Manali to meet Anshuman, but learns that Anshuman rebuffed Geet the moment she arrived.

Aditya tracks Geet down to Shimla, where she leads a quiet, sullen life as a schoolteacher. He takes her to a hotel and offers her the catharsis of berating Anshuman over the phone, but Anshuman becomes ridden with guilt and attempts to reconcile with Geet. Aditya encourages her to marry Anshuman, and the three of them return to Bhatinda. To their surprise, Geet’s family warmly welcomes her home, believing her to have eloped with Aditya. For the rest of the day, Geet repeatedly fails to find an opportunity to tell her family the truth.

The next day, Anshuman devises a plan for he and Geet to announce their marriage to her family, but Geet comes to realize that she is in love with Aditya. She abandons Anshuman and reunites with Aditya as he spends his last day at her family home, and the two of them passionately kiss. Their planned wedding, now genuine, successfully occurs, and Geet and Aditya go on to have two children together. The film ends with Geet’s grandfather giving his dying blessings to the couple in front of their children.
