The best Hindi Movie I have ever watched (or I should say 'FELT').beautiful Story - a good mixture of Friendship + Love + Family.Those 3 aspects Describes life.And that's what it felt throughout and after watching the movie - Life.Once You start watching, It keeps you from going anywhere before completion.It has the colors of friendship, youth, love.Movie is filmed in a way that it gives you the bitter feel of reality, unlike other love stories or drama where the story just goes anywhere or nowhere.But here, Characters in the movie tastes the harshness of time and situation in a way that it does some damage yet do not destroy the lives of everyone completely.There is a major blow being one of the character's death.But that's where the reality introduces itself properly. A human has some limits of bearing mental stress and hurt.That's it.

For me this film has managed to create a special place near my heart because of its life-like story-line. Firstly, the director has done a decent job in capturing the moments of life that most of us have gone or will go through. Secondly, the lead actors were good but to me the supporting cast was more convincing. Now, talking about the music, Purani Jeans has got a couple of melodious tracks but a few others could have been avoided. We get to see such type of movies once in a while so please enjoy it... Recommended to all... My rating 4.5/5 stars

Purani Jeans is an effervescent tale of youthful exuberance, coming of age and eternal friendships. The story about "friends forever", triggers nostalgia and fond memories of one's wonder years and evokes a sense of déjà-vu. In the quagmire of nonsensical no-brainers copied and rehashed shamelessly from Hollywood/Korea/Tollywood/(and even Bollywood!), Purani Jeans, a completely original script, comes as a breath of fresh air. The director, ad film maker Tanushri Chattrji Bassu, in her first foray into feature films, skilfully handles the eternal and forever fresh theme of first love, teen angst, volatile emotions & misunderstandings and, timeless friendships. Tanushri skillfully weaves the idea that, "real friendship, like an old pair of jeans, allows the wearer to become totally free", into the central plot of the film. The story, moving through the 90's into the present, revolves around a group of five school friends at Kasauli, led by maverick Sam and reticent Sid, who is the protagonist of the film. The group, who call themselves "Kasauli Cowboys", are a happy-go-lucky bunch, who drift apart when first love awakens. What creates the rifts and changes the dynamics of their friendships, the lessons they learn over time, and the new bonds that form, are the essence of Purani Jeans. The songs, composed by Ram Sampath, are melodious, memorable and hummable. Dil aajkal (by both KK and Sona), yaari yaari and ye dosti leave one with pleasant feelings. The scenic locations of Kasauli were beautifully captured on film. Sarika, in a Maharani Gayatri-esque complex role, and debutant Aditya Seal as Sam excel in their roles. Isabel Leite, as a Kashmiri girl, looks stunning. Tanuj Virwani as Sid, appears in his second film. Rati Agnihotri reminds one of thespian Pearl Padamsee. Rajit Kapoor in a cameo is excellent. Sadly, the film has not been publicised in smaller cities. It is a film set in a small town, and should have been well promoted. I got to see this film by chance at Raipur, where I didn't see any hoardings. Debutante director Tanushri Chattrji Bassu needs to tell more such original and thought- provoking stories. My best wishes to her. I strongly recommend Purani Jeans to all those who have tasted the bitter-sweet fruits of first love and yaari-dosti.

I enjoyed 'Purani Jeans' for its freshness in the face of familiarity, and a story that holds all the way to the end.Reminds us about our best friends and the misunderstandings.Denims and Dosti - Wear it, tear it. Colour it, fade it. Use it, abuse it - but it ain't easy giving up on it. Righto! That's the mantra of this famous five, who've outgrown their chaddi-buddy years (in small-town Kasauli) becoming young men who repeatedly swear by their 'denim decree' (Friends forever! Blah!).Anyone who has grown up with a gang of inseparables will instantly connect with these Kasauli Cowboys. The story is fantastic and songs are really good. That song "Dil Aaj Kal" is just fantastic. The acting was really good. the Hill station pictured was beautiful.
