bhejafry.net seems to be my best friend in UK. This is where I watch the latest hindi flicks. I got to watch Jane tu..ya jane na. BBC radio and few other friends gave good reviews of the film and so the excitement was obvious. The print wasn't very good but I have learnt to compromise on that front.
I think the film is just a onetime watch and thats really not expected from an Aamir Khan Production. The story has nothing new to offer, it probably is the most predictable story I have seen in the recent past. But few elements are excellent. The concept of being a 'Mard' has been redefined in a way which is impossible to achieve. Imraan Khan, Aamir Khan's nephew happens to be the hero of the film. He is cute but his chocolaty looks get a bit uninteresting after a while and so is the case with Genelia. Genelia needs serious acting classes as I also saw her in Mere Baap Pehle Aap and she was awful.
The fun of the film is in the characters that are set with the main actors. Parents, friends, police inspector, brother , cousin brothers even girl friend. These characters were given due importance and they added a different flavour to the film. The best of all was Genelia’s brother.
The film has been used very well for Aamir's endorsements i.e. Toyota Innova and Coke. In instances like when one of the character asks for Coke on the rocks, Jaane tu... gives a look of a commercial advertisement. This film has more of such cliches. The biggest one being Imraan Khan running to stop Genelia on the International Airport. Running on International Airport looks like a very cool thing to do in films and most films make this look like a joke. I am sure Imraan is a good, smart and lucky runner. Lucky because he ran for a film shoot, in real life the police would have shot him down for being a terrorist.

You know... after seeing Jaane Tu and reading back your post I can say that Vidhi was really right. You've practically given away everything about the film. :p
I agree that the story is old and even the idea of a bunch of friends narrating the kahani is borrowed from Chalte Chalte. But despite that I ended up liking it. :-)
Enjoying a bollywood flick requires childlike faith and no logic.
Tried and tested. What say?
All best,
