Rewatched Jab We Met in 2025: Honest Thoughts On Every Character From Most Memorable To Meh
I re-watched Jab We Met in 2025 and shared my honest review of every character from Geet and Aditya to Manjeet and Anshuman, highlighting iconic dialogues, performances, and memorable moments from this Bollywood classic.
Aditya Kashyap - 10/10
Aditya is the brooding businessman who seems lost until Geet bursts into his life like a whirlwind. Shahid Kapoor perfectly balances Aditya's quiet sadness and gradual rediscovery of joy. His iconic line “Tumhare jaise logon se milke hi lagta hai ki zindagi abhi khatam nahi hui” captures how he begins to see life differently through Geet.
Taxi Driver - 7/10
The taxi driver provides humor and a touch of realism. His line “Driver hoon, philosopher nahi, par life ka track samajh aata hai” shows his grounded, amusing perspective.
Station Master - 8.5/10
The station master grounds the journey in realism. His subtle performance makes the train sequences memorable. His iconic line “Ek akeli ladki ek khuli hui tijori ki tarah hoti hai” perfectly captures his humorous, observational wisdom and adds charm to the travel scenes.
Dadaji - 8/10
Dadaji is the wise and warm grandfather who grounds the story in family values. His dialogue “Beta, zindagi mein har kisi ka saath zaruri nahi, par sachai zaruri hai” perfectly sums up his gentle guidance and adds emotional depth to the narrative.
Ayesha Khanna - 6.5/10
Aditya’s mother appears briefly but adds context to his past. Her line “Beta, samay ke saath sab kuch theek ho jaata hai” is heartfelt and highlights her nurturing role in his life.
Anshuman - 6/10
Anshuman sets the story in motion but ultimately fails to take responsibility when needed. Tarun Arora’s portrayal makes him memorable for all the wrong reasons. His line “Main samajhta hoon, main samajhta hoon, par kabhi kuch nahi karta” perfectly captures his inability to stand up when it mattered.
Station Vendor - 9/10
The station vendor may only appear briefly, but his presence adds an extra layer of charm and realism to the train station scenes. Asif Basra brings a subtle humor and sly wit that makes every interaction memorable. His dialogue “Time ka pata nahi, par paisa ka hamesha pata hota hai” perfectly encapsulates his shrewd, street-smart personality while keeping the moment light and amusing. He’s one of those minor characters who stays in your memory long after the scene ends, proving that even small roles can leave a big impact.
Hotel Receptionist - 9.5/10
The hotel receptionist at hotel decent adds charm and humor to the hotel scenes. Teddy Maurya delivers this iconic line: “Hum room ghante ke hisaab se lenge, baaki panchayat mat karo”, which perfectly adds levity to the story.
Manjeet - 8/10
Manjeet is the arranged marriage suitor who comes across as sweet and genuine. His line “Shadi sirf do logo ka faisla nahi, family ka bharosa bhi chahiye” shows his good-hearted nature.
Prem Dhillon - 7/10
Prem is Geet’s supportive uncle who adds stability to the family narrative. His calm presence and quiet guidance are essential. “Family ka saath hai to zindagi ki har problem chhoti lagti hai” shows his grounded wisdom.
Roop Kaur Dhillon - 2/10
Roop is Geet’s sister, but her character is frustratingly one-dimensional and, at times, borderline annoying. She spends more time nagging or meddling than actually supporting her sister, and her decision to tell on Geet when she runs away makes her hard to root for. Saumya Tandon’s performance doesn’t quite salvage the lack of depth in her role. Her dialogue “Geet ko sambhal ke rakhna hoga, woh hamari family ka sabse bada masala hai” highlights her meddlesome nature rather than genuine concern.
And, Finally GEET - 10/10
Geet is the beating heart of Jab We Met and arguably one of Bollywood’s most unforgettable female characters. From the moment she bursts onto the train, her energy, spontaneity, and unapologetic attitude light up the screen. Kareena Kapoor’s portrayal is pitch-perfect, balancing humor, vulnerability, and boundless charisma. Every scene with Geet feels alive, and she effortlessly steals the spotlight without ever feeling overbearing.
Her iconic lines are as memorable as her personality. “Main apni favorite hoon” perfectly captures her self-confidence. “Tumhe lagta hai tumhare jaise logon se milke hi lagta hai ki zindagi abhi khatam nahi hui” (said to Aditya) shows her ability to see the light in others. Her spirited “Mujhe chhod ke mat jao” is heart-wrenching yet sincere, and “Agar main kahin chaloon, tumhare saath hi chalungi” highlights her loyalty and fearlessness in love. Even the comedic “Main train ke saath saath dilli se pahunchegi, chahe kuch bhi ho” and “Tumhara phone nahi lag raha hai, phir bhi tumhe dhoondungi” underline her persistence and quirky charm.
Geet’s ability to be both utterly relatable and larger-than-life makes her a 10/10 character. She is fun, feisty, flawed, and fiercely lovable, leaving an indelible mark on anyone who watches her journey. Her dialogues, personality, and sheer screen presence are why Jab We Met remains a timeless classic.
