In Jaaneman, Suhan (Salman Khan) and Piya (Preity Zinta) play a divorced couple trying to cope up with life after separation. When Piya demands alimony from Suhan, to avoid the situation, he tries to hook her up with Augustya (Akshay Kumar) who’s been Piya’s secret admirer for years. Suhan even helps Augustya in wooing Piya and win her heart. But when the mission is successful, Suhan realizes that he’s still in love with Piya and cannot let her go. That’s the twist.
Salman Khan is simply fabulous and perhaps this would be considered one of the best performances of his career. Akshay Kumar plays to the gallery and is amazingly restrained. This is definitely an award-winning portrayal. Preity Zinta looks good but adds nothing much to her character. Debut-making director Shirish Kunder handles the proceedings extremely well and despite some flaws in the script, he maintains a firm grip on the narrative. Music by Anu Malik is above average.
