Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009)

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RKS gave craps like FAMILY(2006) which was panned critically and also was a flop and then HALLA BOL(2008) which was too outdated and flopped and also was panned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with the film as shown in the promos itself is there is nothing to watch out for just some comedy scenes and some outdated romance scenes and punctuate them with songs.etc We also have a guest role by Salman Khan to make the film a hit Poor guy he is having bad days as a hero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

Fmovies: It's been a long time since I saw a Rajkumar Santoshi movie, the last being Khakee. I must say APKGK is a fun flick that assures you of nice entertainment in a cinema hall. Its a mindless story which I think is precisely the point. The aim is to just give you a good time.

Pros ~ Lots of rib-tickling comedy with a few drops of emotional moments, nice songs and an endearing performance from Ranbir Kapoor gives this movie a thumbs up. Darshan Jariwala as Ranbir's dad is the other who wins our heart with his act. Katrina was cool. She has it to be a No.1 Bollywood actress(in terms of commercial success) and special mention also goes to the actors who play Ranbir's close buddies.

Cons ~ Some silly comedy here & there. Probably, Rajkumar thought that one must also try too hard to make audience laugh or else box office collections could cry!

Verdict - Whether you are a Ranbir fan, Katrina fan or someone who would like to sit back & experience a stress buster(chopped, cooked & served in right proportions), this movie has it all.

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.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani fmovies. When the creator of the inimitable and unforgettable Andaz Apna Apna ventures to beat the 'Davids' & Goliaths of Bollywood's Comedy genre at their own game, one needs to take RajKumar Santoshi seriously. With 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani' (APKGK), Santoshi achieves what most have failed at – a fresh comedy with humour that is actually funny. Not that APKGK is flawless but there are more laughable scenes and dialogues than many comedies of recent times put together and for that, the movie is a wholesome entertainer. It does come with weird, inexplicable moments of unnecessary action, drama and slapstick and there is always scope for better comedy in those scenes but in the end, the dialogues, performances and several scenes make it an almost 'Ghazab' kahani.

Prem(Ranbir Kapoor) is the President of a Happy Club founded with his friends in a little town like Ooty to help estranged lovers and helpless souls. His encounter with the beautiful Jenny (Katrina Kaif) starts out as a riotous mix up that leads to him falling for her (literally, at times). This love story is partly sweet, partly cheesy but overall very refreshing because of the amazing chemistry of the duo that seems completely at home in their comic avatars. The movie will make you giggle, chuckle and even laugh your ass of as Prem attempts to win Jenny's heart. Enter Upen PatelÂ…Â…Â…

One big problem with APKGK is its casting. Most actors would live just to act in RajKumar Santoshi's comedy film but he decided to cast Upen Patel out of all people. This guy still cannot speak fluently and can barely stand straight. One can think of at least 43 actors who could've done so much better than him. Govind Namdeo as his father is also typecast as either a wicked policeman or a crooked politician. This time his role takes away the humour from the film. Darshan Jariwala as Prem's father is very impressive and his dialogue delivery at times elevates a simple humorous scene to make it memorable. Katrina Kaif looks gorgeous in the simplest of outfits and she is more comfortable smiling, laughing and crying than many actresses who struggle with it. Her dialogue delivery has improved considerably, thus augmenting the chemistry with her hero. Ranbir Kapoor has enjoyed this film. One can see that he doesn't need to act as his character most of the time. He is a natural actor in that sense, much like his father and this film establishes him, yet again as the finest of his generation. His comic timing is super and it would really be a treat to watch him perform with veteran actors in more funny movies.

Pritam's musical score rocks again. This time, he combines the distinct talents of Jaaved Ali, Neeraj Shridhar, KK, Hard Kaur and Atif Aslam in a soundtrack with different moods and themes. Jaaved Ali in a romantic Aa Jao Meri Tamanna, Hard Kaur in Follow Me with Ranbir's eccentric dancing, KK in Main Tera Dhadkan Teri at his usual best, Neeraj in a rather funny Prem ki Naiya, Atif Aslam & Alisha Chinoy in the marvelous Tera Hone Laga Hoon and a solo by Atif in a soulful Tu Jaane na shot in spectacular locales of Turkey while the rest of the film was shot in Goa. Santoshi does thatÂ…. Remember he shot Pukar on a set and took the actors to the glaciers of Alaska for one songÂ….

In terms of noteworthy flaws, a recurring problem that is noticed is the amateur editing. The scenes jump from one sequence to another without transition or meaning. Some inane sequences drag longer than they should and dram

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!

OK people here is the first review of this movie. A long awaited movie by many people. watched the flick because of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif waster 175/- for the premiere and to say that the movie didn't match the expectations. There are some comedy scenes like Ranbir dancing so that he can be the dancing partner of Katrina which is hilarious.

Other than that some scenes have been copied from Andaz apna apna, like the Don falling from the stairs and the final climax scene ( if you remember Andaz apna apna then Gogo fell down from the stairs ) Songs are good especially Tu jaane Na... Beautifully pictured.
