Punit Malhotra's 'Gori Tere Pyar Mein' is strictly time-pass entertainer, that sums up best as a one-time watch. 'Gori Tere Pyar Mein' Synopsis: A selfish shallow guy from a cosmopolitan city falls in love with a girl, who turns to be a social activist. Fun follows...'Gori Tere Pyar Mein' has a breezy first-hour & a fairly okay second. The portions based in the cities are sparkling, but the portions in the second-hour, based prominently in a village, are plain ordinary. However, luckily, the film never gets boring. The Screenplay appeals in bits & pieces. A stronger second-hour wouldn't have hurt. Punit Malhotra shows marked improvement over his debut film 'I Hate Luv Storys'. He has handled the film well. Cinematography is rich. Editing is average. Music by Vishal-Shekhar is excellent. Performance-Wise: Imran Khan does a fair job. Kareena Kapoor Khan is just perfect. The immensely talented actress displays each emotion with great confidence & control. Shraddha Kapoor is passable. Anupam Kher entertains as the manipulative villain. Esha Gupta sizzles in a song.On the whole, 'Gori Tere Pyar Mein' is watchable.

There's nothing new to expect from such a film after seeing the promos, Imran Khan back to romcoms after his experiments like Maitru Ki Bhijli Ka Mandola and OUATIM Dobara failed. He thought perhaps he will be safe as it's Karan Johar production and his most films are hits, whether there have anything or no. The last time Punit and KJO teamed with Imran was in I HATE LOVE STORYS in 2010 when Imran's films were failing, like Kidnap and Luck, the film worked Imran again worked in EMAET in 2012 which teamed with Kareena Kapoor, this time again the jodi is repeated however in a repetitive set up. The film starts off okay, the song Dhat Teri Ki is already a hit and it provides a good start but the film is hardly anything imaginative in the first half, The first half is a mere set up while the second half shifts to a hamlet on Gujarat Border where Imran goes in search for his love who is a social worker who works for a NGO. There are lot of implausible sequences in the film, like Kareena's NGO act but she doesn't think twice before cheating while trying to get through a traffic, even worse she dances at a song named TOOH meaning butt. Karan Johar lives in his own lala land and his films are hardly realistic, The ease at which the villagers construct the bridge is too hard to digest, even there lot more implausible situations The film is very predictable and gets boring tooDirection by Punit is nothing great Music is good, Dhat Teri Ki is superb, Naina is okay, Dil Duffer is amazing, Tooh is also good typicaly KJO type, Imran Khan has done such roles before and doesn't add anything new, also his eyebrow dancing does get irritating, He is okay but nothing different Kareena Kapoor Khan is good in her part which isn't written properly Amongst rest Anupam Kher is good in his part, Shraddha Kapoor is good in a small role rest are okay

Does Kareena have some kind of sadistic pleasure by torturing her fans? Or can't she just handle the happiness of her fans from last year and thinks it's absolutely imperative to consistently follow-up a great year, with a terrible one? First Satyagraha pakao film, and now Gori Tere Pyaar Mein. Another terribly PAKAO film. No, I didn't have great expectations from this film (it was Punit Malhotra directing it... I mean seriously??) but the promos were rather enjoyable and the stars really did manage to sell their product and entice the audience. Add to that that it's a Dharma Production (Karan Johar makes sure to associate himself with entertaining cinema) and that it was coming off the supremely likable (and one of my absolutely favourites) hit from last year year, with the same jodi and same production house.... I did expect to have a good time. And that's exactly what the stars promised - a clean, feel-good, full-on paisa vasool light entertainer. Well, they all fooled us.Gori Tere Pyaar Mein has been made with honest intentions, but I could care less how noble they felt while making this. I paid 8 euros and I expect to enjoy myself, not roll my eyes until they got stuck up there. This film was reminiscent of those 90s films.... and fair enough, if you want to revisit the past and pay a homage to the (good)-old style of film-making, but for God sake, package it differently!!! This was old wine.... in an old bottle. Even Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani was like a renewed version of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, but everyone loved it.... because it was refreshing. It offered something new. The direction was different, and offered a new perspective. Gori Tere Pyaar Mein fails on many levels, despite a young director, because it lacks punch. The film is devoid of anything that would make you sit up and be interested in the proceedings. And I entirely blame the director and writers here. How could they come up with such a regressive script?? And didn't they have any sort of inclination that things were getting..... really bad.... in the second half?? The whole Bridge nonsense had me fuming :fume: .... to such an extent that I wanted to leave.I just didn't enjoy the film, overall. There were a few good moments. Some really funny sceness/diaogues... and the middle portion of the film, right from when Imran ''sells'' himself (hilarious) to the wedding fiasco (brilliantly executed) to the second half, with the initial village scenes, was good stuff. But the film goes downhill there-onwards and completely crashes. The songs are nice and peppy, but the film doesn't do justice to them. Chingum Chabake pops up randomly, and it's a shame because it's such a good track. I hated Naina, because it was all about the damn bridge. Dhat Teri Ki is Imran's introduction and sets the mood for a fun, zany film (which it was not). Tooh was OK. It got boring. Moto Ghotalo was funny... while Dil Duffer was pointless.Punit Malhotra isn't made to be a director. Period. I'm baffled as to how some reviewers could even say that he's a solid competitor for Ayan Mukerji.... say whaaaaaaaat?? I wasn't much of a fan of I Hate Luv Storys, but that film was overall very watchable, and in my opinion, better than Gori Tere Pyaar Mein (and this says a lot). I know that Karan likes to give complete freedom to his directors, but he really should have stepped in for this one. What a terrible mess he could have avoided.Imran Khan - an actor who has slowly been proving his mettle - doesn't try too hard over here. He's decent and does shine in the sparse comic moments, but is wooden for most part. I have absolutely no clue what Kareena Kapoor Khan is doing in such a stupid film, with such a BLAH character? :hmm: Someone slap me, but she found this more interesting than Ram Leela? Ram Leela was no great shakes either, but that film had so much more to offer, in terms of everything!!! Kareena does well, but honestly, this role doesn't demand anything. Even a newcomer could have done this. After Satyagraha, this is another uninspired performance. I'm disappointed. Chemistry-wise, they look good together, but what a poor follow-up and HUGE let down after Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu.It's good to see Anupam Kher but again, I don't understand why he picked this film? Shradha Kapoor looks stunning and performs well.I've a headache thinking about this film. It was seriously a pakao film... the kind that you watch and mutter '''what rubbish''. I feel like I should stop watching films in the cinema.... This is the 4th time that I've seen a film in the theatre and either disliked it or felt it was below expectations* (Besharam, Krrish 3, Ram Leela*). It was really on the same level as the other regressive films of the year like Phata Poster Nikla Hero, Ramaiyya Vastavaiyya, Krrish 3.... At the box office, this is definitely going to bomb big time. I'd advise you to just wait for an online print. The Gori isn't worth it this time, not even for her tooh. Poor

150 minutes is an overdose of substandard and goofy Hindi movie. The movie reminded me how long Mughal-E-Azam was! GTPM has few comic scenes here and there which will definitely tickle you but an epic 150 min long film is not at all worth watching. The character of Imraan Khan is similar to the one we saw in Ekk Mai Aur Ekk Tu. Kareena Kapoor had one of the serious roles in the film. The only acting I liked was the one Anupam Kher's. Truly, Anupam Kher is a monumental actor and defines the pride of Bollywood. Being a fanboy of Anupam Kher myself, I think that he was the driving force of GTPM. To sum it up, GTPM is not at all a fresh concept for a movie if you have watched movies like YJHD, EMAET etc. Only recommended if you dig Imraan Khan or Kareena Kapoor (or both). Anyways, one may find a lot of similar movies in the new channel "Romedy Now". Not that I am promoting it, but you will at least save 200 bucks!
