Na Tum Jaano Naa Hum (meaning "Only God Knows"); is inspired by the Hollywood flick, "You've Got Mail" and the Bollywood movie, "Sirf Tum". This film brings together three much talked about stars in Bollywood today.
We have Saif Ali Khan who gave a flawless performance in Dil Chahta Hai and is now banking for the same in Na Tum Jaano Naa Hum, Hrithik Roshan who is all out to prove that he is still number one in Bollywood after his mega hit Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and Esha Deol who is trying to prove that she is one of the upcoming young actresses on the movie scene.
The story of this film revolves around Rahul, a photographer who grows up in the household of his best friend, Askhay.Rahul who is shy and emotional by nature, strikes up a friendship with Esha via an FM Radio broadcast even though he is unaware of her identity.

Askay, on the other hand, is a womaniser who happens to change girlfriends like there is no tomorrow.

All seems to be going well until Askhay's parents decide to get him married off to none other than Esha.

Totally against the idea of an arranged marriage, Akshay decides to send best friend Rahul to find out more about this girl. Hence Rahul ends up posing as a photographer in the home of Esha.

The twist in the emotional drama comes during Esha and Akshay' s engagement party when Rahul learns that the mysterious girl he has been communicating with via the FM Radio is none other than Esha.

Shocked and totally heartbroken, Rahul manages to hide his true emotions so as not to hurt Akshay.

But Esha could not forget her unknown friend with whom she has now fallen in love.

Which path will Esha take? Will Rahul be able to speak the truth without hurting his best friend's feelings? And what will happen to Akshay?

Answers to these questions and more will be revealed in the climax scenes that have been extremely well executed by director Arjun Sablok.

Debutant Sablok has done a commendable job considering that the screenplay was an inspiration from his own personal life.

Technically the film excels in all departments. Rajesh Roshan's music flows with the story line but one cannot fail to notice the innovative background score by Raju Singh which integrates well with the emotions of the saga on the big screen.

Cinematography by Manoj Soni is breathtaking as he captures the beauty of the European locales with great finesse.

Both Hrithik and Saif give a true to life performance as usual but its Esha Deol who comes up trumps.

She dances with great elegance, emotes naturally and looks more mature since her debut performance in Koi Mere Dil Se Pooche.

All in all Arjun Sablok has given his film a great cast, a commendable story line and excellent technical support. So what are you waiting for? Go and see the movie.
