Jab we met - Exceeds expectation

I have never been a fan of Kareena Kapoor. I thought she was overly dramatic (K3G). She was on top of my worst actresses list. Shahid Kapoor, I never took him as a serious actor. Jab We Met definitely changed all of these. Before sunrise, Serendipity, Sleepless in Seatle kind of movie.

Positive aspects of the movie
1. Punjabi mixed hindi is so sweet to hear. Surprisingly both were able to pull the stint. Not that I am any expert (I can barely follow Punjabi), I was able to appreciate the dialogues.
2. This movie can easily be their best performances in their respective careers.
3. Songs are a definite plus. Wonder why they are not played on cable that often. I have to definitely download some of them to my phone.
4. Shahid dances really well. Kareena can barely live up to it. Especially the closing song sequence.
5. Good comedy.. good dialogue delivery by both.
6. Good screenplay for a not so original story line.

If you have to choose between Om shanti om and Jab We Met, you can definitely pick the second and you would leave the hall without regret.
