So, Jab We Met would almost be the perfect Bollywood movie if it weren't for the musical numbers being rather dull.  Actually, they felt more like typical Hollywood narrative montages than the usual Bollywood expressionism/surrealism/magical realism?   the weird offhand rape joke.  Which was more "WTF?" than offensive in context, but why must the world still insist on using the word "rape" in jokes?

But mostly, this movie is like someone took a list of every annoying romantic trope and every annoying "heroine learns her lesson to be able to get the man" and completely flips them and removes all the objectionable material and turns them into something that works.

I kind of wish, though, that the subtitles did more to indicate that geet's dialogue/slang was kind of outrageous/hilarious?  Because I could hear that it was different from how other people spoke (aided by numerous other Bollywood movies) but don't know the actual word usage is different.

Also Shahid Kapoor should keep his hair short and wear glasses and white shirts in all his movies.  Just saying.
