Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009)

Best movie of this year hands down!

I'll tell you why so serious

A lot of fun.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The best love story I've ever seen in a movie. This is how love stories should be in real life. This movie made me a Ranbir Kapoor fan. Ranbir Kapoor's performance is brilliant, and so does his comic timing. He just nailed his character. Ranbir Kapoor's and Katrina Kaif's chemistry is among the best I've ever seen in a Bollywood film. The direction is fantastic, the story is very lovable and heart touching. And let's talk about the songs. The soundtrack of this movie is very melodious. The songs are very heart touching that once you play them, you just get lost in them. Tera Hone Laga Hoon will give you all the chills and feels in your heart. Atif Aslam has such a beautiful voice. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is among my favourite Bollywood films. This film has a very special place in my heart. I never get bored even while watching it again and again.

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.

Well I didn't expect too much from this film. Its a romantic comedy for sure. We could see that from the trailer. These days I don't expect too much from a Hindi film.They have a huge star casts, excellent location, beautifully pictured songs, but they lack in story and editing. But i can say after "Love Aaj Kal", this year APKGK is a treat to watch. I am not saying its a perfect film, but its a pleasure for heart. If you want to have a good laugh then APKGK is the film for you.After a long time I found that in a Hindi film which is not trying to portray its surroundings real. You know from the first scene that its a fiction. R.K Santoshi made it very clear.Its a movie where anything can happen and they don't want to make you believe its real. Its up to you to believe! I am not going to compare it with Andaz Apna Apna. It was one of a kind. There is no Amir Khan and Salman Khan in APKGK instead we have this Ranvir Kapoor with amazing comic timing! He was superb in the film! Reminded me of Hrithik Roshan in Kaho Na....! Ranvir was so fresh and his chemistry with Katrina Kaif was wonderful! Bollywood have a new on screen couple who compliments each other. And I figured it out later that there is no romantic scenes (except two songs and a conversation in dream!) between the two, but they looked amazing whenever they were together. And the nicest thing about this movie is its decency! Mr. Santoshi (he is also the co writer) didn't use "sex" or "homosexuality" for comedy! Bollywood should learn!Songs were really nice! Pritam did a good job! I fell in love with the song "Tera Hone Laga Ho" and "Tu Jane Na". Katrina looked really pretty and real for the first time.It was a nice film with an amazing cast(including the supporting actors, except Upen Patel!). Amazing locations (Goa and Ooty looked awesome)and amazing punches! Its a comedy after all!

So the film starts in a rather in-apprehensive manner but as ten minutes pass the movie starts rolling and in a couple of minute u find yourself rivoted to the seat,all credit to Ranbir Kapoor for his rather Legendary performance,and when Katrina kaif comes....oh she is a beauty in the film...she has rightly been given a role of a Christian for her inability to speak proper Hindi.... Also comes in this great movie package is Salman khan,Upen Patel...and many others....but as i have said earlier this movie is all about Ranbir no one else...he has turned from an amateur in Saawariya to a Pro in this movie....u ll see yourself laughing really bad at certain scenes....and also it has some very good emotional moments.... Add all this what u get is a movie which seems so real yet so unrealistic...barring some fighting scenes where u ll find people flying all around....its a great movie....good enough to watch 2 times without a headache....not a Andaaz apna apna comedy but almost reaching its level at some points....which in itself is pretty Hilarious!!!....surely watch this movie....A MUST!!!
