The credit of making a good film goes to the director Imitiaz Ali. The editing and the screenplay needed to be more developed a little more, as the story lacks crispness in the second half. Cinematography depicts the maturity in Natarajan’s vision. the film will make up go bonkers with the fantastic visuals and choreography. Ye Ishq Hai, Mauja Hi Mauja, Tumse Hi, Nagada Nagada – all add to a fun filled experience. Pritam's music also enhances the film. Lyricist Irshad Kamil deserves a special mention for the song, Yeh Ishq Hai.

Though Kareena is loud at times, she is a treat to watch -- funny and full of life. Shahid, on other hand, acts composed and provides a perfect foil to the Kareena's bubbly character. Pawan Malhotra is excellent as Kareena's uncle. His diction as also the body language is perfect. Dara Singh is good. Tarun Arora is awkward, but that gels with his role.

On the whole, JAB WE MET is one of the finest [romantic] films to come out of Bollywood in 2007.
