Jaane Tu…is a celebration of cameos. Besides the leads, who are extremely competent, there are so many interesting cameos that can be branched out into separate plots/ movies themselves. Take...

Beyond the facade of its catchy rhythm, Aaja meri soniye has a really stale tune. Dosth bada dosth redeems the soundtrack and has all the signs of being the next...
