Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani

This Prem Kahani Is Mast

Rajkumar Santoshi is back in form after a many years. Intense, hard-hitting movies has always been his main forte with the sole exception of Andaz Apna Apna. Santoshi is equally at home handling a comedy. And Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani proves it. Here he has balanced both romance and comedy very well. His narrative keeps you hooked right from the word go. Santoshi has also picked up the right character actors which contribute immensely to the madcap proceedings.
Directorially, Santoshi proves the naysayers wrong and bounces back with a film that the youth would relate to. You can't write off the maker and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani proves it. S. Thiru's cinematography is first-rate.

In Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani , the romantic moments are endearing. Most importantly, the on-screen chemistry is electrifying. Ranbir and Katrina look great together!
The comedy in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani - though it borders on absurdity - is funny in most parts. Sure, there're times when you feel that the humour looks forced (climax fight especially), but you don't grudge it since Santoshi's intentions are crystal clear from Scene 1 onwards: Entertainment ke liye kuch bhi karega.

One of the biggest contributors of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is its music by Pritam. All the songs are ruling the charts and their positioning in the film and picturisation make them even better. Tere Hone Laga Hoon was by far the best soundtrack in the movie.

If there is one reason why Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is worth a watch, it has to be the brilliance of Ranbir Kapoor. Surrounded by mediocrity and unnecessary madness, Ranbir stands tall in yet another fabulous performance. Undoubtedly, the future ’superstar’ of Bollywood! Katrina Kaif adds immense value to the movie, purely by her screen presence and stunning looks. Its hard to take your eyes off her, due to which you manage to sit through those 2 - 3 song and dance numbers in the second half.
Darshan Jariwala is exceptional. Smita Jaykar is very good. Upen Patel is decent. Govind Namdeo is getting typecast. Zakir Hussain is fair. Navneet Nishan is alright

On the flip side, the film could've done with a fresh plotline. When you talk of 'Ghazab Kahani', it has to be ghazab by all means. It shouldn't fall prey to predictability, but the second hour succumbs to mediocrity occasionally. Watching the second hour makes you feel that the film may've had a longer running time and in order to bring down the length, a number of scenes must've been chopped off, which, in turn, must've resulted in continuity lapses

After a real long time a good clean hearted romantic comedy has come to the cinema halls which can be enjoyed with the entire family. Go for it guys. Watch it for seeing Santoshi get back in form and Ranbir-Katrina emerge as the new hot jodi of Hindi cinema.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is a full-on entertainer. One thing is for sure, you'd fall in prem with Prem and his antics. An ideal date movie that should connect with the youth.
