Aditya is son of a well known industrialist who's died after a family breakup. Having left the world behind, Aditya has nothing to cheer about while Geet has every reason to celebrate. She wants to run away with her boy friend Anshuman (Tarun Arora) against her family elders' decision of wedding her off with her childhood friend. But the events on the train take them away together while Geet's nonstop engine is telling all about her.
The first one hour of the movie travels with Aditya and Geet from Mumbai to Bhatinda while exciting events keep happening one after another. After reaching Bhatinda, you see a perfect Panjabi environment where director Imtiaz Ali has set up three songs one after another. First song Nagada Baja is melodious Bhangda after which the music intensity has went down.
One night Aditya and Geet run away. Aditya leaves Geet to Anshuman and comes back to Mumbai as a new changed businessman who not only stops his business downfall and raises it up high but also solves his family problems, credit to the teachings from Geet. But all of a sudden Geet's family members attack Aditya assuming he has done something with her as she has disappeared since they left Bhatinda nine months back. Aditya leaves Mumbai to find out what happened to Geet and find her sheltered at a Christian school. Don't ask how a Sikh girl meets a Christean missionaries as its a style or side theme of many bollywood movies now a days. This is only scene in the movie which does not fit the overall environment of the movie. Aditya then tries to bring home Anshuman and Geet which leads to the Bollywood style climax.
Music director Pritam has continued his good form of 2007 while Irshad Kamil's lyrics is just average. Choreographers Ahmed Khan & Saroj Khan have also done quite a sensible job. Along with Shahid Kapoor and Karina Kapoor, rest of the supporting cast, specially Dara Singh as Geet's grandfather is wonderful.
Jab We Met is definitely a love story that would steal hearts of those who are in love!
