To be fair, there are portions of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani that are so funny your sides will ache from laughing. But for the most part, it's a silly comedy that goes for slapstick gags and juvenile jokes that are hard to appreciate. Director Rajkumar Santoshi's latest comedy tries too hard to maintain an even tempo, but save for the lead pair's crackling chemistry and some charming moments involving Ranbir Kapoor, the film is an agonizing bore. Based in a quaint small-town with a distinct Ooty feel, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani stars Ranbir Kapoor as Prem, a ninth-standard drop-out who runs a local Happy Club which has been founded to spread joy in the neighborhood. Prem becomes good friends with Jenny (played by Katrina Kaif), a pretty young Christian girl who moves into town with her adoptive parents. Before long he's fallen for her, but can't muster up the courage to tell her. When Jenny's parents force her to marry an obnoxious rich boy, Prem volunteers to help. Turns out Jenny's got a boyfriend she loves, and now Prem must unite them. Nowhere nearly as smart as the director's cult comedy Andaz Apna Apna which relied on a sharp script to deliver its consistently madcap tone, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is erratic in its humour, going from genuinely comic to frustratingly foolish in a matter of minutes. On the upside, there's a sparkling scene in which Prem joins Jenny at a dance party, unable to stay still even for a moment, his limbs taking on a life of their own. Another wildly hilarious scene involves Prem and Jenny and a cameo by a leading star, in which Prem must convince the star to pretend they're friends so he can impress Jenny. It's an entirely original scene that's all the more enjoyable because of the in-jokes it packs. But the humour dips when Santoshi throws in too many unnecessary subplots including one about a local politician who won't allow his son to marry the girl he loves, and another about an underworld don who's targeting the said politician. Despite its hiccups, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is not an entirely unwatchable film, and the credit for that goes squarely to its leads who invest sincerity and genuine enthusiasm while attacking their roles. Katrina Kaif breezes through her scenes, endearing you to the vulnerable Jenny; striking up a radiant chemistry with her co-star. As for Ranbir Kapoor, he is the brightest spot in this ordinary film, rising above the script's many holes, occasionally even making the stupidity work. The film itself is too long by twenty minutes, and suffers considerably on account of its loose script. The second half, in particular, is an endurance test for its silliness. Watch it for Ranbir Kapoor whose performance alone justifies the price of a ticket.

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.

when you watch a Hindi movie especially a comedy movie i know not to expect much of a good story.But this movie tested all the limits,i mean what was this all about,was this funny at all.There should be some story for keeping the audience interested , do the filmmakers even care for it.The characterization was horrible, and there's not comic relief whatsoever except for 2 or 3 scenes.Why cant the Hindi film industry make at least one intelligent or forget intelligence at least completely entertaining comedy movie in the likes of hera pheri. Please i suggest to all of you don't watch this movie and get bored and waste your money.The are some many other world movies worth watching. Help your self by not watching it.

First, I did not expect much from this movie to be honest. I was pleasantly surprised. Ranbir does a great job playing a guy who is sweet and simple and is love with Kartina Kaif. The film is different because it has no crude jokes and yet it is humorous.The film is set in a sleepy Indian town where Prem (Ranbir) is the president of his failing "Happy Club" , which ends up helping couples in love. He meets Katrina Kaif and falls for her, but he does not know that Katrina already is in love with Upen Patel. He does all he can to help her to marry Upen. Watch the film for the ending.In between there are witty dialogs, very funny scenes, in special a scene where Prem goes dancing with Jenny (Katrina Kaif). Prem already starts dancing to which Jenny says, the dance has not yet started, while Prem replies, "I am not dancing , this is just warm up !" .A real rib tickler, you will watch this for a pleasant time at the theater. It is a surprise at a time when most Bolly comedies are really filled with double meaning jokes and crude humor, Ajab Prem .., does a really nice job to entertain people.The story has its flaws, yet Ranbir manages to pull through and prove he is the biggest rising star in Bollywood. The screenplay was a bit loose but the cinematography was superb. The songs were very well sung and acted.In all a nice movie. My rating 7/10.
