Suhaan (Salman Khan) is a wannabe rock star and a suave and polished wordsmith. He is every girl’s dream. Agastya (Akshay Kumar) is the loveable underdog, the tongue-tied nerd who unlike Suhaan can’t seem to get a sentence out. He’s more the dreamer, than the dream. Suhaan and Agastya are polar opposites with only one thing in common…their love for Piya (Preity Zinta). The three are college friends, but neither Suhaan nor Agastya is able to tell Piya how they feel. Ten years pass. Suhaan is now a famous singer, Agastya an astronaut, and Piya a modern woman creating a path all her own. The three are going about their lives…until one sunny afternoon, when fate brings them together. [More]

Leave it to the ever-grating Salman Khan to render anyone's efforts moot.

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.

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

The film's transition from sight gags to tear-stained family drama is especially abrupt, and most of the musical sequences are undistinguished.

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.

Jaan-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.

Why 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.
