jaan-e-mann is all about class and style.. it lives up to its name as the movie itself is a delight to watch .. for those who appreciate quality stuff, this one's a must.. the unique story-telling idea is not the only plus of the movie.. Salman's amazing get-ups, Akshay's geeky gestures and the wonderful backdrop of New York City are some of the major highlights that enhance the viewer's movie-going experience.. If you are a person who critizes every scene of a film, this one might not please your tastes.. but if you're like me who appreciates and understands creativity.. this one's a must because Shrish Kunder leaves you with a memorable movie to cheer about.. a movie that sets itself apart from anything seen before!
Yet again the Salman and Akshay magic has created a DHOOM again. This movie is so simple made and yet so stylish and "Hatke se". Iam not gonna write about the story, that U can read everywhere else or just see the movie.
Salman Khan has done a brilliant job again, he his caring this movie on his wide shoulders and giving the movie a special look and touch with his comedy and emotional role. "Salman Bhai tusi Great Ho"
Akshay Kumar, what can I say he is one of Bollywoods most talented actors and with his personality and acting he has sure made a special place in our hearts, If u read this comment Akki then stick to comedy movies, these roles suits you and U do a brilliant job every single time.
Pretty Zinta is very good too...still looking good and her acting is top notch. Anupam Kher is too funny, all the roles is done to perfectness and no role is forced in the movie.
Hey Movie Viewers go and watch this movie and fall in love again its never over..:)

I was waiting to see another movie at my local theater and as I waited the sound from this movie attracted me. I stuck my head in for a minute and said...WOW! Forget the other movie that I came to see, this one had me from the beginning. To sum it it, its my first Hindi Movie, and after this one I know there will be more to see!! Being that I am MexicanI recommended this film to all of my friends. I especially enjoyed the way the film was set, I had never heard of these actors in my life but I did my research and was surprised that there are a lot of movies out there that have this wonderful cast involved. I am a new fan of these films!
Director Sirish Kunder has made a commendable debut in Hindi cinema as a director. This editor-turned-director has made an impressive attempt to make Jaan-è-mann what it is. Superb editing, exotic locales and a heart warming love story. I had never imagined that special effects could be of such an imperative to a romantic love story. This movie delivers the best in technicality. Scene transitions are superb, dream sequences, going into and out of flashback has its own style and the film is full of jolly and merry instances. But all that does not make a movie great if it lacks its soul, the screenplay. Sirish Kunder, in his first screen writing attempt, has clearly shown his incompetence and inexperience.
Kunder, though has filled the film with lots of one-liners, pretty catchy dialouges and an amazing score, technically the script has pitfalls. Lack of adequate character conflicts, the trait of the film gone missing somewhere and, and most importantly, a novice screenwriter makes the movie lose its charm. Jaan-è-mann could be a thoroughly entertaining if we set the screen writing rules aside, but beyond that, if you're planning to watch a movie by experienced professionals, this one is definitely not your cup of tea.
Lets look at various aspects one by one:
Salman Khan - Good performance. Thank god he's given up laughing like hyena. We see veteran in this movie. A sad an miserable shade of his character makes home in public's heart.
Preity Zinta - After KANK, she's my ultimate favourite. This angelic beauty looks great throughout and she's still watchable as a college girl. And my God, she does great Russian accent.
Akshay Kumar - I like the way he laughs, he..hee..heee. Akshay has come a long way into romantic comedy from action movies and he's good at it. He's in fact good in any character he gets into.
Anupam Kher - This one actor knows the heights of performance, although he plays a person without, um.. much height.
Anu Malik - The track "Humko Maloom" is great. Fabulous. But not all songs are ones we can say "are really great." Worked late night and wrapped up in a haste?
Gulzar - Is he trying to be different or did the producers ask him to do so? Why does he need to use so many English words in songs? I feel bad calling a veteran bad but he fails to live up to the expectations.
Farah Khan - Great. At least this is the best she can give to her newlywed husband Sirish Kunder. She's put her heart and soul into it making choreography one of the strongest aspects of this movie.
Sirish Kunder - Editing - superb! Space sequence - superb! Visual transitions - superb! Should definitely go ahead and make more movies. But before that, I urge him to buy the book "Screenwriting" by Syd Field and read it once.
Apart from this, the production design is laudable. The baby who plays Preity Zinta's daughter is really sweet. Enormous curtains hanging down from the roof look exhilarating. New York, as always is breathtaking. What's even good is the actors' chemistry and the way the entire movie has been set up.
If you're finding it hard to choose between Don and Jaan-è-mann, my choice would definitely be Jaan-è-mann. It's a value for money but not yet the film I can call the best film of the year.

THis movie is a movie that everybody should watch..it is fresh and appealing..it may be a bit dragging at times..but all in all it is a novel concept movie which will appeal to allot of people..
Preity Zinta is fantastic, she breaths fresh air in her role.. Akshay Kumar really surprises you as the geek, he just adds a new dimension of being the funny guy.. And Salman....this guy just took my breath away..I never saw the guy in this kind of role..you can see that he has worked hard on it..when I saw him crying..I knew that this time he was completely serious..
Anumap Kher is funny as the midget
Music is good, Story is novel.
Worth every penny
10/10
