Jab We Met was a childhood favorite and aged quite well, with Ali's mature treatment of a generic rom-com. Shahid and Kareena never looked better together on-screen (as this is their last film before their infamous break-up!) Pritam's music is iconic in this film, as with his other collaborations with Ali. Anshuman, played by Tarun Arora, is one of the most memorable rom-com antagonists of Hindi cinema — infuriating and simultaneously ridiculous.
On the one hand, we have the tormented and dejected Aditya, while on the other is the bubbly and fun-loving Geet - if opposites attract, then it is no wonder that the two of them are one of the most loved Bollywood couples on-screen. A stellar performance by the two of them makes their romance believable, and the accompanying soundtrack only adds to the emotions. A rom-com worth watching.
