There is no storyline, bad and very cheap sequences. Don't go to this movie unless you just want watch Katrina. I went to this movie looking at the TOI rating. I don't understand how come they rated such a bad movie at 3.5. I am not sure if TOI rating is unbiased anymore. Have they started taking money from the producer? I met few of my friends and who also felt the same. Everyone is fooled by TOI this time. I would recommend stop following TOI rating any more. I don't really want to get fooled again. Is there any way we could get unbiased rating of the movie?There is no storyline, bad and very cheap sequences. Don't go to this movie unless you just want watch Katrina.

... View MoreHaving known that this was a romantic comedy, it was a bit of a let down. A no good for nothing son, who operates a club from his father's business premises, accidentally falls in love, while trying to help his friend.Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Upen Patel, Darshan Jariwala, Smita Jakar, Zakir Hussein and Mithilesh Chaturvedi, while Salman Khan does make a special appearance. This is directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi and is produced by Ramesh S Taurani while Pritam provides the music score.Ranbir Kapoor has, again, definitely shown that he is talented by attempting a good performance in romantic / comedy movie genre. He is like a likable rogue. Katrina Kaif, has made a good attempt in such a genre movie. But it is a bit hard not to imagine her from her previous roles. But never the less, she has made a good attempt at this. Salman Khan's appearance, though brief does create impact regarding the comic situation but I felt that there was no need for that as the director and the producer could have taken it from another angle.Many of the comic situations are predictable and therefore a bit of a let down there. But Pritam's music score is worth listening to as are some of the songs. This is a film that can be viewed with family members and is worth watching at least once.
... View MoreGo and watch this film if you are supposed to see a fresh comedy film of this year... Rajkumar Santoshi has really made a film watchable with family in the time when comedy meant adult comedy only!!!He again showed that he is full of talent after giving flop films. He worked really well. The heart of the film is the chemistry between Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. They both are just outstanding in the film. It doesn't seen in the film that Ranbir is a new comer in the industry. It was said for Kat that she is beautiful but not a good actress. She got chances and again she proved herself in this film that she is a good actess also. Both Ranbir and Katrina are youth icons. If you are crazy and young then don't miss this film.
... View MoreIt would be exactly two years for Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor on November 9, 2009, when they were launched in Saawariya - hated by many, loved by few.But now for Ranbir Kapoor, his fourth movie Ajab Prem ki Gahzab Kahani, is a fun movie, but very silly, remind you of Salman-Aamir starer Andaz Apna Apna. You might just want to go for the movie, for the heck of it and Ranbir Kapoor. He is no different in his acting, he is the same like a Happy Singh in all his other movies and somewhere in the movie he realises there is a life, too. Ranbir needs to get out of his Happy Singh kind of roles and start doing method or character acting, that will be the platform where he will be tested. Surely, he should pass it, as he has charishma. When you watch movie of him, you see his father, his grandfather also in him - that is his style, dialogue, mannerism - he needs to get his individuality the character roles will give him that.On Katrina Kaif, still liked her in Boom (if anybody has seen that) and better still Sarkar, she didn't have much dialogues, all were in English, then. Anyway, this movie she has considerably improved or has the dubbing industry matured. Still feel Wake Up, Sid was better and it has something to do with the co-stars in this case - Konkona Sen Sharma. For this movie, the setting in Goa, Katrina being Cristian was like story was written for her.On the movie, it is a movie revolving around Happy-go-lucky Prem (Ranbir Kapoor) who tries helping people around him, but falls in love with Jenny (Katrina Kaif) and then there is new sub-plots and new characters thrown in to make the movie 3 hours with an interval in between. When you hear the character name like Jenny there are flashes of Forrest Gump running or Amitabh Bachchan talking to himself in front of the mirror in Amar, Akbar, Anthony but not Katrina. Ajab Prem.... Very simply - funny love story, you can watch it with your family.On the choice of locations was brilliant, Ooty, Connor, Goa; even better part to this is, they had taken all the popular junta places, which one could identify with. I for one, could recognize the places, even Istanbul of course through images of what i have seen of that place.On Rajkumar Santoshi, when you see the action sequence he has his typical fight sequence very similar unchanged to Andaz Apna Apna. But suddenly he makes Ranbir Kapoor fly sometimes in the movie, "bhai hero hai, jaisse director bolega, waise karega". So, now he was more influenced by Matrix, even though the Andaz Apna Apna was released way earlier than Matrix.
