APKGK: A Movie Review

Prem (Ranbir) is a happy go lucky fun loving chap staying in a small town (ooty actually). But problems follow him everywhere as we see from frame one . Prem along with his friends runs a ‘Happy Club’ which believes in joining lovers (even when they have to be kidnapped). Naturally our hero saab loses his heart to our heroine madam who is the new girl in town- Jenny (Katrina). After loads of bollywood melodrama and hindi songs we are shown that its not a straight love story after all, coz our heroine loves one Rahul (Upen) and wants to elope and get married to him. Prem (in true hindi-sacrifice-your-love-style) decides to bring the two lovers together. But complications arise further. What happens after this, forms the rest of this fun filled entertainer.

The songs, need one ask, are truly hummable! Pritam’s done it yet again... Tera hone laga hoon is absolutely beautiful and has quite a huge fan following on most social network sites. Prem ki naiya is the perfect fun song that is picturized to completely entertain... Tu jaane na nah, will be the slow-big-hit-sensation of the flick, which will catch on once people watch the movie.

The Katrina-Ranbir pair is cute, totally- young, stylish, happening and look absolutely great together! There is something about the good looking people coming together, that makes good chemistry. Their on-screen romance is completely endearing and you come out wanting to see the couple together again-and-again! A definite winner.
Raj Kumar Santoshi has attempted a rom-com and has got somethings right...
One, the romance is a sure shot livewire. Two, the film makes you laugh your heart out. Most importantly, the on-screen chemistry is electrifying. Ranbir and Katrina look nothing but great together. (move on Akshay and look out Sallu bhai!)
As for the cast, both Ranbir and Katrina, I repeat, make a wonderful fresh jodi as they share a crackling chemistry. Upen Patel needs to stop acting (seriously!) and is awful as competition to Ranbir. There is not even an iota of doubt in your mind, and you know from the moment you see him, that there is no way KK will go for him. Darshan Jhariwala and Smita Jaykar playing Ranbir’s parents are first-rate amazing. Darshan has always excelled in comedy and this role’s tailor made for him. His comic timing whether he’s screaming or repeating his dialogues are truly hillarious.
"Ajab is the kahaani of Prem, but is it gazab?" is the one thought that does strike you towards the end... but you walk out all smiles, knowing you have just seen a simple, clean, romantic film after ages (all bollywood glory in-tact).


And so finally my verdict is... Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani with shades of comedy & loads of fun; is definitely watchable & highly hummable!
So guys, go for it and don’t forget to take your girlfriend along. :)
