A Wonderful Story About Strange Love-480P

I'm giving it 2 stars because the songs were good and only because of that, otherwise it would have deserved 0 stars. This movie is one of the reasons why other prominent film-makers from around the world look at Bollywood films and laugh out loud rather than laud them. Predictable story lines, ridiculous plots, unbelievable scenarios, stereotypical characters and so and so forth (you name it this movie is riddled with it). The worst part is not that the film was conceived, made and sent to theaters and DVD, the worst part is that Indian audiences bought into it and went to theaters in droves therefore rendering it a hit flick. Such a shame that they continue to indulge imported poor-excuse-for-an-actress Katrina Kaif and keep fooling her into believing that she is some sort top-notch actress just because her pathetic films do well at the box office and on DVD. The truth is, Indians are obsessed with fair skinned imports like her and do not care whether she is acting like crap or not, they would watch her just for her skin complexion (which they translate to be beauty). At least until she turns 30 or they become tired of her, whichever comes first.

Rajkumar Santoshi has given the bollywood film industries a lot of serious films over the last couple of years for e.g Family: Ties of Blood, Halla Bol etc. But now he returns to make another comedy flick in the form of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. his early comedy film which was Andaz Apnaa Apnaa was a great hit and is one of my favorite comedy movies of all of time. The same however cannot be exactly said about APKGK but it is still a very good effort on the part of santoshi. Ranbir kapoor once again proves why acting is in his blood by giving another show stealing performance he play the character of prem so well that you will end up falling in love with the character by the end of the movie. Katrina Kaif also proves why she is one of the best bollywood actresses of this generation with her performance in this film and new york she proved that she can play both a comic and a serious role in a film. The supporting cast also does a fine job Upen Patel was decent he was not involved enough in the plot enough to get any big sort of recognition. Govind Nao was OK still feel like his character was completely destroyed in this film however the people who played Prem's friends and his parents still deliver good performances. The plot of the film is decent it is just another love story between a boy and a girl who meet, become JUST friends and the boy suddenly falls in love with the girl but can't confess, the girl loves him but she doesn't realize it and finally does after the boy leaves her forever and she misses him and feels lonely that is when she realizes that she really loves him. Well at least the plot is not a rip off of another romantic film which the bollywood industry seems to do very often. The comedy is silly and over the top but it will make you laugh and entertain you nonetheless. Santoshi proves that he will go to any limits to make his audience laugh and entertain them. It is very hard to make the audience of this generation laugh very easily, silly over the top comedy wouldn't work so well but this film will still make you laugh more than any other comedy film has done in the last few years. the romance is the film is only captured during two songs during the movie and the dream sequence between Ranbir and Katrina and by the end of the film. But the on screen chemistry between the lead couple is fantastic. ALl the songs in the movie are awesome apart from Prem Ki Nayaa which is decent. All the songs in the movie have beautiful lyrics and music and amazing singers like Javed Ali and Atif Aslam. The soundtrack of this movie is definitely one of the finest Bollywood movie soundtracks to come out this year. Overall APKGK is very good film which has a very good and funny first half but pales and drags in the second, the comedy is still over the top and silly but will still make you laugh, there is not much romance in the movie but the on screen chemistry lives up for that. So overall i would say despite its flaws this was a very entertaining and good movie and one of the better bollywood movies to come out this year. 8/10

After the first five minutes I thought about switching this off. Juvenile jokes, which a 14 year might find slightly childish, were the order of the day. But I decided to persist with it. Silly me. After seeing 'Wake Up Sid' I had high hopes for Ranbir Kapoor. But he really needs to be a bit more choosy. If this movie was aimed solely for school children then fine. However I fear it was not. The film reached its nadir with the entrance of the Don character. Cue 'hilarious' misunderstandings and slapstick violence of the worst kind. Katrina looked cute, as she always does, but in acting terms there was not a lot going on from her. But in a movie such as this you can't really blame her. I fell asleep before the films conclusion, but I wish I had nodded off a lot earlier...

I went to watch Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani simply because I liked most of Rajkumar Santoshi's movies. This movie is nowhere as good as some of Santoshi's great films like Damini, Lajja or The Legend of Bhagat Singh, but despite its flaws, it is very entertaining and is thoroughly fun to watch. Yes, it has its clichés and moments of over-romanticism which really get on one's nerves, but the movie works best as a crazy comedy which never dares to take itself too seriously, and that's where it scores. The film is often silly but that's the trick here because everything works in accordance with the film's mood. Some of the film's comic proceedings were totally great, whether it's the Salman Khan track, the entire party scene, the scenes showing Ranbir's parents and so forth. There were sequences which were unnecessary and did not make sense, such as the entire gangsters track. Where drama and romance go, the movie is good but something is missing, although it had its moments there too. One of the best aspects about the film is undoubtedly Pritam's excellent soundtrack which consists of such songs as the beautiful "Tu Jaane Na", the romantic "Tera Hone Laga Hoon" and the catchy "Prem Ki Nayya". As far as acting is concerned, it is Ranbir, Ranbir and only Ranbir who carries the film on his shoulders and delivers a sincere performance. The role itself is actually nothing new or special but Ranbir ably turns Prem into someone who is both funny and easy to relate to. Katrina Kaif is a pretty and attractive lady and overall she is effective within the context of the film, but in terms of acting, though she has her moments, she never really manages to totally convince or impress. Smita Jaykar and Darshan Jariwala, who play Ranbir's parents, are awesome. All said and done, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is not extraordinary, but it's very enjoyable and an altogether fun romantic comedy which can be watched with family and friends.

The movie came hyped but the experience was a big let-down. Leave aside a few good visual scenes and jokes, the overall movie was a disappointment. The good scenes: The bicycle with balloons falling into the lake, Prem's dancing at the wedding. Other than that, the jokes were tired, the characters were one- dimensional with no character or story development. Other than the pre-ordained destiny of the two main characters (Prem and Jenny) there was nothing else to anticipate. When the intermission happened, I was actually wanting the movie to end. The whole story line with Rahul was tacked-on just to extend the length of the movie. Acting wise, the role of Prem was well-acted for a comic role but stammering does not equal emotional acting. The rest of the acting was average. The songs were generally forgettable - I don't remember any of them less than 12 hours after watching the movie.

APKGK was intended & marketed as fun popcorn munching entertainment. However, that's probably asking for too much from this absolute waste of celluloid that's testimony to a new upcoming genre in Bollywood I'd like to call 'retarded comedies' - stuff like Singh Is King, Tashan, Do Knot Disturb etc. that's beyond rom-com, beyond mindless, beyond leave-ur-brain-behind entertainment..it's down right retarded. Movies like this just goes on to show how marketing blitzkrieg can manage to sell even unbelievably pathetic, nonsensical, nonexistent scripts. I can imagine only 2 types of audiences who'd enjoy this film: 1) You're a giggly teenage girl with a crush on Ranbir Kapoor. 2) You're generally fond of absolutely silliness.

RKS a name that was taken with respect since some time back after he gave us the memorable GHAYAL(1990), DAMINI(1993), the not successful yet a cult status ANDAZ APNA APNA(1994), THE LEGEND OF BHAGAT SINGH(2002), KHAKEE(2004) He also is instrumental in giving national awards to Sunny(GHAYAL, DAMINI), Ajay(TLOBS) and Anil(PUKAR) So coming to this film Well sadly post KHAKEE, RKS gave craps like FAMILY(2006) which was panned critically and also was a flop and then HALLA BOL(2008) which was too outdated and flopped and also was panned Now he finds the formula for success I feel he searched a lot and finally went through some recent romantic comedies and Phew! he comes with one So sad, nowdays RKS is such following the trend set by other people He got the mantra: Cast an actor who is coming up as a star- Ranbhir and cast Katrina an actress who without acting and just beauty can make a film work Start showing the songs many times on TV which make the film work and also the comedy scenes Nothing wrong in this but sadly the film ends up being a rubbish movie The comedy is so stupid that even David and Priyadarshan's comedies seem better, The romance is missing The problem with the film as shown in the promos itself is there is nothing to watch out for just some comedy scenes and some outdated romance scenes and punctuate them with songs.etc We also have a guest role by Salman Khan to make the film a hit Poor guy he is having bad days as a hero himself And then Upen Patel in the second half The film starts off as a 90's romantic comedy and becomes an Anees bazmee type confusion and ends up in a chase type comedy Direction by RKS is ordinary Music is a rage, all songs are nice Amongst actors Ranbhir Kapoor after WUS is decent, his role however is nothing different but yet he does a good job katrina is as usual Darshan Jariwala, Smita Jaykar are adequate Salman is as usual, Upen Patel is nonsense

Can u remember the last film which remind u of early nineties .. This film does the same and full credit goes to Mr Director and Mr script writer.. I laughed a lot and most of them on myself for tolerating this film for two and half hour. Ranbir played the role of a young funny guy Prem,President of happy club which help people to solve there problem like kidnapping for love marriage and ... Katrina Kaif a educated girl works in a library come to Prem's city.. First they hate each other..then friendship..then misunderstanding..Again friendship...Prem helped her to get her boyfriend but last she realize... love... Being a movie lover i watch a lot of movies and many of them are bad but few are irritating and this is one of them.This reminds me the poor films of nineties. Old senseless gags and one liners cracked every now and then..Though emotional moments are more tough to tolerate.. I can't say anything about script because there was nothing..Music was average.. Acting average,actually there was no scope for acting. This movie may be on the top of a list where "Ramgopal Varma ki Agg" toped last year.. ONE out of TEN for this film and two thumbs down for Mr Santoshi.. So This film is highly Recommended for your enemy for torture...
