Just realised..Jab We Met was such a milestone for our generation!! Every bit discussed just flashed and reinforced the liking we have for these wonderful characters and the story !!
30:00 It is ironic that the movie "Jab We Met" draws influences from "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge," while "Chennai Express" shares similarities with "Jab We Met."
27:36 my stupid theory behind the name Aditya Kashyap is that it was also the name of MD of TATA steel at that time & a very prominent name in TATA group & Jamshedpur which is Imtiaz's hometown. He might've taken the name of this businessman. Plus the actual Aditya Kashyap was in news in 2007 bcos of his death that year.
Instantly liked the video when Shreeja quoted "idhar udhar dekho". The delivery of that dialogue by Pawan Malhotra remains one of the highlights of the movie for me.
That prostitute gag is a comment on the patriarchal society where ek "akeli ladki" is more likely to be a prostitute, or many men are going to presume she is a prostitute. Aditya relaxes implying, that its not the worst thing for someone to assume this. duniya sochti hai to sochne do...geet doesn't need to really change. Edit: Urijita does mention this towards the end of the podcast
Suggestion for next movie: CHACHI 420!! CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED MOVIE in terms of pop culture. Each and every actor has KILLED IT in their roles and it's a shame that even though the movie has several top notch comedic and meme worthy moments, it still doesn't get the attention it deserves!! Do consider it, pretty please? ❤️
With fadeouts, and that weird saxxy music. The music was the problem i think and maybe what he wanted to show is them suddenly feeling turned on or them making out by mistake couldn’t so instead it’s this weird music and excessive cuts
Having been surrounded for years by Sardar uncles since birth this is a spot-on old Sardar uncle portrayal. Do realise one is speaking about one of India's most phenomenal actors Pawan Malhotra. Find and watch Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro. Khud ke paas koi extant references and contexts nahi aur karna hai analyse.
Aditya Kashyap's character in the movie closely resembles Shahid Kapoor's real-life background as both his parents remarried after his birth, leading to him having half-siblings from both sides
In 2007, Shahid Kapoor played the role of a businessman who falls in love with an ordinary girl. A year later, Aamir Khan played the CEO of a telecommunications company who also falls in love with an ordinary girl. Unfortunately, the girl dies without knowing his actual name
Hotel receptionist asking "Kahan se mili" to Shahid is very understandable. Hotels in small towns are infamous for this and you see police raid at the end because it is that kind of a hotel.
Jab We Met is the only film where I can remember almost all the dialogues........ I have seen this movie countless times and still can watch and dialogues play a huge role in its rewatchability
Hey, i just heard this podcast & like Shreeja & Urjita, i got super annoyed when Abbas named that hug as soft porn. Infact, i feel the best hugs that i have seen are in Imtiaz movies. Special mention to the hug in "Socha na tha" Please do that movie, it's my favourite Imtiaz movie
Never found myself vehemently disagreeing to a lot of things Urjita was saying like today.. Despite that the all three of them are so likeable and articulate that I had a great time
11:47 Lol story of my life.. The girl started crying and threaten to get me beaten up and then I started crying coz I felt I hurt her feelings but the difference is that we were in Uni at that time, which makes it all the more sad and ironic 😀
Urjita and Abbas , mere “India Pod Day 2023” ke comments ke liye maafi. This is the 6th episode I have listened. Back when we all saw the movie we felt Jeet’s was a lovable character but the way you guys dissected and did a post mortem, that was a bit heavy. Well i enjoyed this show. Also agree on the kind of roles that Shahid Kapoor is doing these days.
Aditya talking to hotel guy is not that problematic coz we can justify that aditya just met geet some hrs before that scene & he must not have fallen in love or cared for her coz she is stranger for him up until them , Jab We Met is Near Flawless 🤌🏻
Oh god what? So you're saying, because he doesn't know her long enough, he can say that she's a sex worker? I'm a huge fan of JWM regardless of these small scenes which were problematic, but doesn't excuse that some scenes were a bit iffy.
