After the first five minutes I thought about switching this off. Juvenile jokes, which a 14 year might find slightly childish, were the order of the day. But I decided to persist with it. Silly me.After seeing 'Wake Up Sid' I had high hopes for Ranbir Kapoor. But he really needs to be a bit more choosy. If this movie was aimed solely for school children then fine. However I fear it was not.The film reached its nadir with the entrance of the Don character. Cue 'hilarious' misunderstandings and slapstick violence of the worst kind.Katrina looked cute, as she always does, but in acting terms there was not a lot going on from her. But in a movie such as this you can't really blame her.I fell asleep before the films conclusion, but I wish I had nodded off a lot earlier...

It would be exactly two years for Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor on November 9, 2009, when they were launched in Saawariya - hated by many, loved by few.But now for Ranbir Kapoor, his fourth movie Ajab Prem ki Gahzab Kahani, is a fun movie, but very silly, remind you of Salman-Aamir starer Andaz Apna Apna. You might just want to go for the movie, for the heck of it and Ranbir Kapoor. He is no different in his acting, he is the same like a Happy Singh in all his other movies and somewhere in the movie he realises there is a life, too. Ranbir needs to get out of his Happy Singh kind of roles and start doing method or character acting, that will be the platform where he will be tested. Surely, he should pass it, as he has charishma. When you watch movie of him, you see his father, his grandfather also in him - that is his style, dialogue, mannerism - he needs to get his individuality the character roles will give him that.On Katrina Kaif, still liked her in Boom (if anybody has seen that) and better still Sarkar, she didn't have much dialogues, all were in English, then. Anyway, this movie she has considerably improved or has the dubbing industry matured. Still feel Wake Up, Sid was better and it has something to do with the co-stars in this case - Konkona Sen Sharma. For this movie, the setting in Goa, Katrina being Cristian was like story was written for her.On the movie, it is a movie revolving around Happy-go-lucky Prem (Ranbir Kapoor) who tries helping people around him, but falls in love with Jenny (Katrina Kaif) and then there is new sub-plots and new characters thrown in to make the movie 3 hours with an interval in between. When you hear the character name like Jenny there are flashes of Forrest Gump running or Amitabh Bachchan talking to himself in front of the mirror in Amar, Akbar, Anthony but not Katrina. Ajab Prem.... Very simply - funny love story, you can watch it with your family.On the choice of locations was brilliant, Ooty, Connor, Goa; even better part to this is, they had taken all the popular junta places, which one could identify with. I for one, could recognize the places, even Istanbul of course through images of what i have seen of that place.On Rajkumar Santoshi, when you see the action sequence he has his typical fight sequence very similar unchanged to Andaz Apna Apna. But suddenly he makes Ranbir Kapoor fly sometimes in the movie, "bhai hero hai, jaisse director bolega, waise karega". So, now he was more influenced by Matrix, even though the Andaz Apna Apna was released way earlier than Matrix.

Past few years has seen ab bunch of mindless, brainless, scriptless, storyless comedies. Except than few beautifully crafted movies like Hera pheri and No entry, Azab Prem Ki.. could be marked as out and out comedy of this era. Rajkumar Santoshi has brought back the charm of Aamir Khan and Salman Khan in Andaaz Apna Apna, as Ranbir Kapoor as Prem in APKGK. Katrina's character was lovable and i could not think any one else for that role. Upen was seen after a long time but was overshadowed by Ranbir's. Jokes and punches reminded me of Andaaz apna apna, but were refreshing. I could not found any cliché except the last fighting scene but that was also mixed with new flavors.

Just another movie with the same humorless acting and weak story. At many points Santoshi tried to copy his own marvel Andaz Apna Apna. Ranbir Kapoor tries to imitate Aamir but gestures and expression style were not even comparable. Katrina Kaif one again looked Barby doll in mini skirts, but when comes to acting she is as pathetic as I have never seen someone before. For Upen, I really don't comprehend why he came to Mumbai from London. He could have join a gym even there, cause in Bollywood except his muscles nothing is there you can admire. So if you can laugh on the jokes that you have heard already and have a patience of sitting 150 minutes doing nothing, then you should certainly watch the movie. According to me 4/10.
