Fantasy, wit and biting humour combine, breathing life into the otherwise staid 'love triangle' formula.

Reviews for Jaan-E-Mann
1 - 8 (sorted by fresh rating; UK critics are listed first)
Top CriticJaan-E-Mann (the title means 'beloved') has many of its genre's shortcomings, including a shaky hold on the line between farce and stupidity and a soapy, melodramatic denouement. But it also has personable stars.

Top CriticWhy every New Yorker has a British accent is a mystery, but the musical number built around Piya and Agastya's engagement is worth its weight in rupees.
10/19/06
The film has some minor flaws which do not fully deter from one's enjoyment. Kunder, who also wrote the screenplay, stages some spectacular musical numbers -- some of the best seen in recent years. The musical score by Anu Malik is lovely and enjoyable.

Viewers who are not already Bolly-heads are likely to be appalled.
10/26/06
The film's transition from sight gags to tear-stained family drama is especially abrupt, and most of the musical sequences are undistinguished.
10/20/06
Leave it to the ever-grating Salman Khan to render anyone's efforts moot.
08/19/07
We keep waiting for one of those outlandish musical treats to bring some life to the clichéd script. Kunder throws in a few breaks, but they're tepid and brief.
