Waiting for Godot scene in the movie Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na




Jaane Tu  ya Jaane Na is a movie  about love, friendship, college life and many more things. It revolves around the relationship between Jai (Rats) starring Imran Khan and Aditi (Meow) starring Genelia D'Souza. Both are best friends who in the end realise they are in love. The title 'Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na' is apt as who doesn't know about the importance of that one song between a couple? All couples have that one song which has a great value and emotion related to them. There are some funny elements too. Naseeruddin Shah (Jai's father) who is shown dead in the movie talks through the portrait with Jai's mother who are constantly arguing about Jai. The two other comic characters are Baloo and Bagheera who play the role of Jai's cousins (act as cowboys) but in the end help Jai in coming out of the jail.
     
In the final scene of the movie, when all the friends are leaving the airport the person with a board for Mr. Godot is seen. The reference here is to the play 'Waiting for Godot' by Samuel Beckett. In the play Estragon and Vladimir are waiting for someone called Godot.  They are constantly waiting for Godot doing nothing but just by talking about different things. At some point of time, a little boy  comes and informs them that Godot will come the following day still they don't leave that place. The funniest part is they don't know how he looks and even they admit that they may not realise if he appears before them. If we try to connect the movie with the play, we can say that the two lead characters don't know that they love each other and are waiting for the right person to come in their life. They would have just waited if the situations did not change at all. So, the allusion is probably to people waiting for a special somebody or someone or something, never sure of what they are on a quest for.
