This transition at a point makes them realize that their frequencies are same and they are for one another.

The story begins at a railway station where a young desolated guy, a successful businessman Aditya Kashyap (Shahid Kapoor) boards a train without knowing the destination. In fact he is in devastated condition after the death of his father. Another factor of his distress was the hastily marriage of his mother with her boyfriend; biggest cause of his shame among his circle of friends. Aditya's girlfriend faithlessness added flavor to his condition and he decided to run away from his life There a girl named Geet Kaur Dhillon (Kareena Kapoor) starts talking to him as a compartment mate to avoid boredom.

As we all know the rule of nature, when two strangers spend some time together they get familiar with each other and some sort of affection develops.

The story turns the table upward down and Geet expresses her love to Aditya. He find immense happiness as he admires her a lot and in love with her as well.
No doubt story is so convincing and appealing that I can't help stop myself to jot down it again. While writing I enjoy it as I am seeing the movie once again. Story is excellent, plot is foolproof and characterization is the most powerful object of this movie. Kareen Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor are in full form and they perform so realistically and naturally that movie becomes a hit. Kareena Kapoor is a talented artist and there are so many movies that make her actress profile very good. "Jab We Met" proves to be her one of the finest works. Noticeably without any intimation scenes and unlike traditional love story this movie provides full amusement.
