Synopsis
Once upon a time there was a dude...
There was a geek...
& there was a beauty...
The dude and geek both loved the beauty...
But who did the beauty love...
Ten years pass...
The dude lives in his dream world...
The geek lives in space...
The beauty lives alone...
& then they meet...
to fall in love...
Again...
This fairytale story tells of three friends, a beautiful girl, a rock-n-roll dude and a geek. Both guys fall in love with the girl, making it a love triangle until only one can have her love in the end.
Salman Khan plays the long-haired rocker dude Suhaan Kapoor. Described as being immature and totally into only himself and his dreams for the most part, he fails to really see what matters in his life.
Akshay Kumar takes on the role of the perm-haired and glasses-wearing geek Agastya Rao. Although simple, and sweet, he gets all flustered around the woman he loves and the words just don't come out right. Yet, he perseveres as he believes in the power of love.
Preity Zinta is the beauty Piya Goyal, who appears to have everything, looks, brains and money. What most don't see is that she is very lonely; plagued with a heartache that won't leave her no matter what she does to quell it.
It's not until ten years later that the three met up again and find that the love still grows strong between them. Only this time a choice must be made, who will become the ultimate love of Piya's life? It's a wake up call, as now is the time to decide what really matters in life.
Will the song Sau Dard give it all away or is there still a chance for the one who sings the words (in Sonu Nigam voice) "A hundred pains, a hundred cures for the pain. I got it all my love, I just didn't get you. Feels like the wind has stopped blowing and like a dried up leaf on the streets of the city, I am flying around all alone. A hundred roads, but yours is missing. Let the water flow. Let time stand still. If the river has made a turn, let the shore bear it. A hundred yearnings, but am not sad over you. Alone, alone, he is alone. He is alone. Walk alone, walk alone."
Be at the theaters this Diwali/Eid to know for sure.

| About Music of JAAN-E-MANN |
The music world was waiting with eagerness for an Anu Malik score. But the veteran composer, waking up from his brief slumber, fails to impress in "Jaan-e-mann" despite having someone like Gulzar writing the lyrics.
The opening track "Humko maaloom hai" starts with Salman Khan narrating a couple of lines before Sonu Nigam and Sadhna Sargam take over. Malik uses a lot of instruments in this number. It is listen-able though not an extraordinary number.
One can see the use of instruments, specially the flute in the next number as well - "Ajnabi shehar", a soulful melody by Nigam.
"Udh jaana... bro!", a fast dance number is sung by Kunal Ganjawalla, Adnan Sami, Sunidhi Chauhan and Earl.
"Kubool kar le" is a boy-wooing-girl-type situational number sung by Udit Narayan, "Indian Idol" participants Rahul Vaidya, Amit Sana and Prajakta Shukre, Monali Thakur and Suzanne. Malik was a judge at "Indian Idol", a talent show.
"Sau dard" is an average sad number with Nigam and Suzanne lending their voices.
"Jaane ke jaane na" by Nigam, Sukhwinder Singh and Krishna is a qawwali where Gulzar uses an occasional English word or two!
Malik misses a golden opportunity to silence his critics. He deviates from his usual melodious stuff - original or inspired - and tries to give an A.R. Rahman touch - orchestra, instruments and choruses - only to fail. Perhaps he really needs some "inspiration".
This album may interest only those who are die-hard Anu Malik fans.
