Jaane Tu? Not really...

Saw the mega-hit and much appreciated Jaane Tu yesterday. And came away with mixed opinions. The movie is overall ok, though only because of 3 positives. The negatives, per me, are 2 (but really big ones!).
Ironically, 2 out of the 3 positives are probably the shortest parts of the movie. And they are: 1) Naseeruddin Shah's character 2) Bhaloo and Bagheera and 3) the hero himself

The negatives are 1) The heroine: all she does in the entire movie is sport a very supercilious expression. The lady tries to be "sweet" but ends up looking like a class A candidate for punishment. Her accent is also pretty thick and should have been worked upon.
The 2nd negative is the story itself - somehow it does not seem feasible in the least (not least the rigmarole and hurry-scurry during the climax). What are mobile phones for, if I may ask?? And how about PCO booths?

All in all, I think the problem was that I went in with expectations that were higher than warranted.
