2.0 out of 5 stars Ajab and Ghazab attempt at cheesiness., April 19, 2010

Raj Kumar Santoshi( does the name sound familiar) is the same director who gave us classics like Ghayal and Damini. Moving from social themes, he attempted comedy and came up with the winning Andaz Andaz Apna. This time he returns with a madcap caper directed towards youth in the form of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.

Prem played by Ranbir Kapoor is a young man who is unemployed and directionless. He falls in love with Katrina Kaif and the film is a journey of this love story.
The story is the same old boy-meets-girl, girl loves another guy and ultimately the triumph of love over impossible odds in the form of parents and villains.
Many sequences in the film are unbelievable but still funny. Some are outright fantastic starting with the first sequence in the movie when you have the statue of Lord Wellington speaking, and in the ultimate scene when Ranbir and Katrina are united by a truck driving Jesus ( are you serious?)
The movie mainly appeals to the youth and Santoshi proves that he can and is willing to adapt to the changing times by serving up food which will appeal mainly to them, It is a different issue that he has to sacrifice his craft for this dish.
In my opinion, the movie belongs to Ranbir Kapoor, who reminds me of a younger Rishi Kapoor, full of effervescence and energy to burn, truly the apple does not fall far from the tree. However he can only do so much when the script is 100 years old. Katrina Kaif is bearable but looks older compared to Ranbir.
The music is the real treat and boasts of some pretty catchy tunes. I loved the music especially Tu Jaane Na. The movie not so much, just two stars for this one. 4/18/10

2.0 out of 5 stars Far from Santoshi's best work, redeemed only by music, August 8, 2010

This review is from: Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (DVD)

When the movie first came out, it was heralded as Santoshi's best movie since Andaz Apna Apna. Can't be further from the truth. The flick is amateurishly directed and has very weak gags, nearly all of which I've seen before in other movies. The story is stale and there's nothing novel about the treatment either.

It succeeded only because of the popularity of the lead actors and it was their first pairing together. (Yes, such trivial reasons do help a film at the Indian box office.)

The soundtrack by Pritam though, is brilliant and features numerous great tracks. If you want to dish out a few bucks on this film, I'd suggest buying the songs instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bollywood meets Broadway, April 1, 2010

This review is from: Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (DVD)

This movie is an exaggerated theatrical rendering of all age old Bollywood romantic formulas: boy meets girl, both meet all sorts of hurdles, then finally get together, and live happily ever after. It's a sheer waste of money and time.
