In this romantic comedy/drama, Suhan (Salman Khan) and Piya (Preity Zinta) are divorced, and she is asking for alimony which the out-of- work actor can't provide. When a former college classmate (Agastya played by Akshay Kumar) confesses to being in love with her still, Suhan decides the best thing to do is to help Agastya win Piya, to avoid alimony. The only trouble is that Suhan still loves her, too.Despite a few too-silly parts, this movie is truly funny with many laugh-out-loud moments. Khan and Kumar play well together, and Kumar makes an excellent straight man. Zinta is convincing as both college student and adult. All three portray their emotions well. Anupam Kher, was surprisingly convincing as a little person. The songs are good, with two particularly so, and there is some nice choreography. This is a thoroughly enjoyable film, with a good mix of comedy and drama, that shows all three stars to advantage.

Jaan-e-Mann is a visual treat. the way the director has told the story is quite awesome..it feels like that director shrewish has finally come up with a great romantic comedy direct from his heart....The story is the same old stuff but the way he has presented it he should be awarded full points for it........along with great music by Anu malik..and also great background music by the playback singers...The chemistry between Salmon khan and akshay kumar is quite innovative...they both look sleek, smart and stylish on the screen.... and akshay has a new look in this film{not a khiladi this time} Preity zinta also as always look awesome in her acting.....there is also anupam Ker and Amman verma who have performed their given roles quite well and were able to put a smile on the audience......Salman and akshay r both looking young and handsome in this film.....and there r few dance steps as well......the story is that suhan{Salmon}is married to preity but gets divorced soon due to problems in her acting career and he has to pay a huge sum amount to preity according to the divorce statement....so he expects an angel who would come in his life and fall in love with preity so he don't have to pay the money......Piya's{Preity} old college friend agastya{akshay} had fallen in love with preity and Salmon finds an angel in him and tries his best to get him married to preity so he don't have to pay the money...they both go to USA in search of pi ya and from this point real story begins.............I've watched this film three times....the emotional scenes surely bring tears in one's eyes.....so this film is a must see for all romantic comedy lovers.........and lovers of Salmon and akshay........

I cannot understand why i wasted my precious 50 quid for this movie. Its a typical bolly cheapo, two stupid actors with some really retarded jokes which I'm not sure even 90 year old would laugh at. The only reason(or reasons) to see this movie is its innovative style to tell the story. It shows you from POV's, which is very new and pretty dynamic. The songs are also very soothing, but has a repetitive theme. Its a standard Bollywood movie, nothing much. Salman Khan ugggh. Priety Zinta is hot, cute and sexy throughout, be it a college girl, a newly married woman or a single mom. Akshay Kumar plays a dumb bloke and he is mostly unwanted but the last 30 minutes. Its terribly stupid idea to release it in such a critical part of the year as well.The box office threw it out of the window just like it should. A really terrible effort which deserves nothing more than a 4...

JAANEMANN.... 1 Leave your mind at home when you go to watch this film 2 direction is great in the beginning (as it apes musicals such as Chicago and moulin rouge) but fails miserably towards the end 3 Screenplay starts off well, then falls apart. 4 script is weak, dialogues are weaker. 5 acting is standard though nothing great - akshay has a gr8 character though salman's is the meatier role. priety could have done the role in her sleep, nothing new for her. aman vermas character and relation was left undefined for a long time- bad role, well acted. 6 the music is tuneful and enjoyable. but would have been better just as instrumental 7 Lyrics are PATHETIC (lyrics would have been better if they were written by a nursery school child) 8 editing was surprisingly patchy in parts. odd, as the film's director used to be an editortrivia: a character is named preity zintakova. aman verma's characters name is zubin HORNIBOI (hahahah)best: Akshay's Laughter. THE CUTE KID worst: SALMAN'S COSTUMES!! The annoying kids and family members towards the end!
