Purani Jeans is a Hindi romantic drama film directed by Tanushri Chattrji Bassu and produced by Manju Lulla. The film was released on May 2, 2014, and stars Tanuj Virwani, Izabelle Leite, and Aditya Seal in the leading roles. The film is set in the beautiful backdrop of Kasauli, a small hill station near Shimla in Himachal Pradesh. It is a story that revolves around the life of two friends- Sid (Tanuj Virwani) and Sam (Aditya Seal) who grow up together in the small town of Kasauli. They are inseparable and share a bond that is unbreakable. Music is a significant part of their friendship, and they form a music band called 'Magik' with a few more friends.

The film begins with Sid, who is now settled in Mumbai, receiving a call from Sam's mother, informing him about Sam's accident. Sid rushes back to Kasauli, where he meets the rest of their gang. He is shocked to see how life has changed for them, and they have moved on. He is reminded of the good old days, and the film takes us on a nostalgic ride back to their youth when everything was simple.

The story then goes back to the past when they were young and carefree. Sid is an introverted, shy and a reserved person, while Sam is outgoing, flamboyant and has a carefree attitude towards life. Enter Aisha (Izabelle Leite), a beautiful NRI girl who comes to Kasauli to spend her summer vacation with her grandparents. Aisha's presence turns their lives upside down.

Sid develops feelings for Aisha, but she falls for Sam, who is unaware of her feelings. Sam, on the other hand, is in love with Nayantara (played by Rati Agnihotri's daughter, Tanisha Mukherjee), a doctor, who is several years older than him. The film depicts the journey of how their friendship is tested when love comes into the picture. It is a story of love, friendship, heartbreak, and reconciliation.

One of the strong points of the film is its music, which is used effectively to enhance the emotions and moods of the characters. The film's soundtrack, composed by Ram Sampath, has a mix of soulful melodies, peppy numbers, and rock songs. The use of '70s and '80s Bollywood music in the background score is a nice touch.

Another highlight of the film is its brilliant cast, especially Tanuj Virwani, who gives a commendable performance as Sid. His portrayal of a boy next door, who is struggling to come out of his shell and express his feelings, is convincing. Aditya Seal, who plays Sam, is charming and has a natural flair for comedy. His chemistry with Izabelle Leite is sweet and endearing. Izabelle Leite, who makes her Bollywood debut with the film, looks stunning and exudes confidence in her performance.

The film's screenplay is well-written, and the dialogues are impressive, especially the ones between Sid and Sam. The film's director, Tanushri Chattrji Bassu, successfully captures the essence of small-town life, the beauty of Kasauli, and the emotions of the characters.

Overall, Purani Jeans is an entertaining and heartwarming film that will take the audience on a nostalgic journey back to their youth. It celebrates friendship, love, and the memories that we cherish forever. It is a must-watch for anyone who has experienced the joys and pains of growing up and been a part of a close-knit group of friends.
