I like the movie way the performance goes 5 mint u can recognize the comedy & after 5 mints u recognize the emotions feelings touch the Heart its low middle class boy story who had love in his hand, heart what ever u can say. He indicates himself as a president ranbir is Happy happy Club Precedent. Jenny is lovely cute girl even sexy too. I watched film two times in two days one thing I recognize comedy helps the film but emotional part of movie sticks the people in theater. The songs are fantabulous Thu jane na….. & Rock Song Darde nagare zara nachke dikade ………….. are best. The lyrics in the song Thu jane na......... & Kaise bathaye .......... is mind blowing & in middle of the tune used I like it ever I forget the tune eaven after watched two time but when it comes dil mai thand bara huva jaise ho jatha hai & the seen when she slap to prem ( on the occasion he think prem repeating how she speak ) when she scrambling. The song …… Thoada tehar………. Is out standing & Movie goes to a low middle class boy love & the love jenny fell love into a rich high class boy. Jenny is look like using Prem to gain his love but Prem never thought like that because Prem love him a love always wish to his love to be happy always even he gets lots of PAIN but one side love always goes like this. The ranbir acting is superb on when he enter the church to ask the god to fix her love (jenny ) in his heart Permanently most of the boy definitely like this even I also ask to god when love begins to me on my first sight. My first sights is lot but I never talks a lot with girls chance also missed when love happen definitely ask to god fix to my hear. The ranbirs dance is superb when Jenny ask to prem to be his dance partner to his friend marriage it is so funny the comedy came out from dance. The ending of story not good but enough. The ending of story will have to make lots series when he has to marry to rahul but it is not happen any way. It is a complete pack of comedy emotions. Mai bhi boltha hoo thera hone laga hoo……………… |

Statutatory warning: this slapstick isn't for smarties with brains and tons of logic.
A lowbrow comedy, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, is juvenile yet entertaining. Ranbir's and Katrina's fans shouldn't miss it for the world, for they make a fantastic couple, and look as delicious as pasta with lots of melted cheese.
The story is not out of this world: boy loves girl, girl loves another, he sacrifices his love for her happiness, she realizes that she loves him too, and all's well. The treatment isn't special either. What stand out are the stars of the show, Kat and Ranbir.
It's a little tough to believe this is the same Director (Rajkumat Santoshi) who made Andaz Apna Apna, one of the funniest comedies to have been made in the 90s. True, even AAA was not exactly what one would call stylish, but at least the comic timing of the actors was perfect and made people laugh till they wet their pants (almost).
Ajab Prem though is funny, has a lot of jokes that make you want to ask the writers if they added those PJs only to torture us. People are literally bored of "comedies" where 1 person drives a cycle into another. The film has unnecessary stunts, adding to its silly quotient.
The funniest scene was perhaps when Ranbir slaps the back of the head of a bald guy with a loud smacking sound. And even when he pronounces "Ferrari" as "Faffari". Very adorable.
In fact Ranbir has looked, if possible, even more adorable than he did in Wake Up Sid. His clothes (styled by Provogue once more), are trendy, smart, and absolutely wearable. So are Katrina's, who looked as beautiful as always. Unlike other films, here is one that is absolutely unrealistic, but tries to keep it real by making the female protagonist repeat her clothes a couple of times.
They have given great performances. Both of them. And have danced well too. The songs are already quite popular; "Tu jaane na" is shot well, except one feels a little sympathy for Katrina as she parades around in a black strappy outfit (stunning), while surrounded with ice. Ranbir on the other hand was dressed warmly. And people say that women have it easy in this world.
Upen Patel deserves a special mention here. As Katrina's lover, Rahul, he was the eye sore of the movie. He looked beefy, had a terrible accent and his dialogue delivery was pathetic.
Not to forget the surprise guest appearance by Salman Khan. Good one there Mr Santoshi. Oops it's not a surprise anymore!
To sum it up, you can watch the film to appreciate Ranbir and Katrina, to laugh at the few jokes, to make faces at the bad ones, and to generally have a fun time with friends and a full bag of caramel popcorn.

Gazab prem ki gazab kahani  Simple love story, nothing special. Bunch of guys all are member of a local club, do not forget the name of it, Happy Club. Meet the president of Happy club, Mr. Prem (Ranbir Kapoor) the jolly good fellow, works towards making the world a happier place, reunites lovers. In short, he does nothing else apart from being happy and makes people happy. Prem meets Jenny (Katrina) and falls in love with her. Tries to win her heart and helps her all the way wherever she needs. Even helps her to get married to her love. Only at the end she realizes that Prem is her actual love. Sounds similar, right? Nothing to worry. It’s taken care of with the Treatment. Though there is little reminiscence from the Director’s cult classic Andaz apna apna. Like the fight scene towards the end at the Don’s den is a bit lousy but even it had its funny moments. In the movies Statue narrates the story and The Jesus is here at the end to reunite the couple. Sounds illogical, Go, Study physics then. Movie is good largely, though some sequences fail to tickle the funny bone. But there are many when you laugh your guts out. One of the many was when Prem decides to go for a Job and his dance steps where he goes as Jenny’s dance partner. Those are just too good. I can still smiling while writing about those funny steps. No wonder Raj Kumar Santoshi chosen him as Prem Ranbir scores brilliantly as an actor. There are moments when he moves you emotionally too. There is a scene to watch where is standing in the balcony , devastated , drunk and says to his friends ‘ Chhod na yaar, koi aur baat karte hain’. In this movie he comes as a complete package, I mean how many actors we have got who are good at comedy, emotions, drama, and the other stuff. He acts so effortlessly and remains cool. We have seen a confused youngster in Wake Up Sid a month ago and here he is again, doing a great job. Movie Excels in every department. Editing could have a bit better. but thas alright. Good casting supported with music you would love to croon while heading back to home. Prem ki naiyya hai ram ke bharose is a fun song to watch and mixed with some amazing choreography. Ranbir has got amazing moves, a great dancer revealed in this movie. He is fun to watch when he dances. Katrina compliments him perfectly. It’s a treat to watch them together; finally she has a film with the actor of her age and effervescence. Best possible pairing of its time. Katrina looks flawlessly stunning as always and she has got a pretty good comic timing too, had a great outing in this one with Ranbir. They look great together and share a great chemistry. Tu Jaane na is a treat to eyes and ear, wonderful cinematography in that particular song. Tera hone laga hoon is already a chartbuster and youth going crazy about this one. Atif’s yet another hit . Alisha’s voice is mesmerizing in this one. Main tera dhadkan Teri is sung well by KK - Sunidhi and HardKaur has provided enough thumps to the beats. No need to say how many star i would give to this one Par ritual hai, so 4/5 Go for it |

अजब प्रेम की गजब कहानी : हंसी के गुब्बारे
READ ON baithak.hindyugm.com "अंदाज अपना अपना" जैसी क्लासिक कॉमेडी फिल्म देने वाले राजकुमार संतोषी कई सालों से इस कथा प्रकार से दूर थे. उनकी बहुत सारी फिल्मे भी बिच में फ्लॉप हुयी. इसीबीच ऐसे देखा गया के एक अच्छी संजीदा फिल्म से भी जादा बिज़नस एक औसत दर्जे की कॉमेडी फिल्म कर लेती है. शायद यही सोच कर एक हित फिल्म देने की आस में राजकुमार संतोषी लेकर आये है, रणबीर कपूर और कैटरिना कैफ की "अजब प्रेम की गजब कहानी".
शीर्षक से ही मजेदार लगने वाली ये फिल्म क्या दर्शकों का भरपूर मनोरंजन करने में कामयाब हो पाई है? क्या इस फिल्म में वोह बात है जो दर्शकों को राजकुमार संतोषी का लोहा मनवा सके?
कथा सारांश :प्रेम (रणबीर कपूर) नामक एक मस्तमौला जवान अपने कलंदर दोस्तों के साथ ऊटी में एक "हैप्पी क्लब" नाम का ग्रुप चलाता है. प्रेम इस क्लब का स्वघोषित प्रेजिडेंट है और सदा ही वोह टैग अपने शर्ट पे लगा के घूमता है. इस क्लब का काम है मुसीबत में फसे प्रेमियों की मदत करवा के उन्हें मिलाना. इसी चक्कर में वो अपने दोस्त के लिए एक लड़की को उठा कर के उनकी शादी करा देता है.
ये सब देख के जेनी (कैटरिना कैफ) नामक एक सुंदरी प्रेम और उसके दोस्तों को अगवाह करने वाली टोली समझ बैठती है. जेनी के पिताश्री प्रेम के ही दिलाये हुए फ्लैट को रेंट पे लेते है. प्रेम जेनी से मन ही मन में मुहोब्बत कर बैठता है पर कुछ कह नहीं पता. लेकिन वोह उसकी हर बात मनाता है और उसके लिए कुछ भी करने को हमेशा तैयार रहता है. इसी चक्कर में वोह जो उत पतंग हरकते करता है वही कहने है इस फिल्म की. पटकथा:
कहानी तो छोटी और साधी लगती है पर राजकुमार संतोषी ने पटकथा को कुछ इसतरह निखारा है के फिल्म दर्शको को पकडे रखती है और हँसाने पे मजबूर भी करती है. पर कुछ कुछ गिग्स याने कॉमेडी दृश्य कामयाब होते है तो कुछ फीके पड़ते है.
कथा में नायक नायिका के पास आने और दूर जाने के सिलसिले बार बार होने के कारण कभी कभी कम असरदार लगते है. और विल्लैन का ट्रैक बिच में ही घुसेडासा लगता है.
आर. डी. तेलंग लिखित संवाद मजेदार है जो साधे दृश्यों में भी जान डालते है.
दिग्दर्शन:
राजकुमार संतोष का संजीदा फिल्मों के साथ साथ कॉमेडी में भी कोई हाथ नहीं पकड़ सकता ये उन्होंने फिर से साबित कर दिया है. कैरिकेचर तरीके से शूट की गयी ये फिल्म बच्चों और बूढों सहित सभी को भर पेट हँसाएगी. राजकुमार संतोषी फिर से ये दिखा देते है के उटपटांग हरकतें और अश्लील हावभाव और संवादों के बिना भी कॉमेडी फिल्म बनायीं जा सकती है. एकदम साफ़ सुथरी और हंसी से भरपूर फिल्म बनाने के लिए राजकुमार संतोषी का हार्दिक अभिनन्दन.
पर ये बात जरुर है के वोह फिल्म को और क्रिस्प बना सकते थे. एक दो गाने कम कर सकते थे और कुछ कम असरदार कॉमेडी को हटा सकते थे. फिल्म की लम्बाई कम हुयी तो चलता मगर असर कम नहीं होना चाहिए. दर्शकों को कुछ और सोचने का मौका नहीं मिलना चाहिए. अभिनय:
ये फिल्म पूरी की पूरी रणबीर कपूर के अभिनय गुणों को उजागर करती है. रणबीर ने जिस फुर्ती और समझदारी से इस किरदार को निभाया है के उनके जेनरेशन का कोई भी अभिनेता उनके सामने फीका पड़ जाए. रणबीर स्क्रीन पे अपने प्रभाव से चमका देते है. उन्होंने एक पार्टी में डांस वाले दृश्य को आने वाले कई सालों के लिए यादगार बना दिया है. ये ऐसा दृश्य है जिसमे लोग हस्ते हस्ते कुर्सी से निचे गिरने की संभावना है. रणबीर वाकई अगले सुपर स्टार है.
उनके अलावा कैटरिना ने भी पहली बार कॉमेडी करते हुए भी अच्छी अदाकारी दिखाई है. वोह दिखती भी ऐसे है के किसीको भी दीवाना कर दे. बाकि सभी चरित्र कलाकारों ने भी पूरी ईमानदारी और लगन से अपना कम निभा कर फिल्म में पूरी तरह से योगदान दिया है. दर्शन जरीवाला, स्मिता जयकर, गोविन्द नामदेव आदि ने अच्चा अभिनय किया है. साजीद डॉन के किरदार में जाकिर हुसैन फिट नहीं बैठते. उनके जगह किसी और को ये मौका देना चाहिए था. उपेन पटेल ठीक ठाक है.
रणबीर के हैप्पी क्लब के मेम्बेर्स का किरदार करने वाले अभिनेतावों का अभिनन्दन. उन्हें अच्छे खांसे दृश्य और संवाद मिले है और उन्होंने उसमे चार-चाँद लगा दिए है. चित्रांकन और स्पेशल एफ्फेक्ट्स :
चित्रांकन उत्तम दर्जे का है और निर्माण की गुणवत्ता को दर्शाता है. कैरिकेचर स्टाइल रहने के कारण राजकुमार संतोषी ने स्पेशल एफ्फेक्ट्स का खुले दिल से कॉमेडी करने में उपयोग किया है. और ५ मिनिट का वोह दृश्य जहा प्रेम ऑफिस जाता है वोह दर्शकों को हँसा हँसा के लोटपोट कर देता है.
संगीत और पार्श्वसंगीत:
प्रीतम का संगीत जबरदस्त है और हिट है. पर्श्वशंगीत दृश्यानुरूप है.
संकलन:
संगणकीय संकलन सॉफ्टवेर के अच्छे गुणों का उपयोग करते हुए संकलक ने जो स्टाइल उसे किया है वोह फिल्म को और जादा मोशन देना है और कहानी का फ्लो सही रखता है. पर वही.. अनावश्यक और गति में बाधा डालने वाले दृश्य और गाने उन्होंने कम करने चाहिए थे.
निर्माण की गुणवत्ता:
टिप्स के तौरानी भाइयों द्वारा निर्मित ये फिल्म कम लगत में ऊँचे दर्जे की गुणवत्ता और असरदार मनोरंजन का एक अच्छा उदाहरण है. फिल्म की बजट कण्ट्रोल में रख कर फिल्म के कंटेंट की और जादा ध्यान देकर उन्होंने एक मिसाल कायम की है. और इसीकारण फिल्म सभी को मुनाफा देगी.
लेखा-जोखा:
*** (३.५ तारे) एक तारा साफ़ सुथरी मनोरंजक पेशकश के लिए जो पूरी फॅमिली एक साथ देख सकते है. एक तारा करिकेचर स्टाइल के दिग्दर्शन के लिए राजकुमार संतोषी को. एक तारा खास रणबीर कपूर के अदाकारी को. और आधा तारा सभी के अभिनय और फिल्म के संगीत को.
आप सभी घरवालों और दोस्तों के साथ ये फिल्म जरुर देखिये. आपका वीकएंड हंसी के गुब्बारों से खेलते हुए बीतेगा.
चित्रपट समीक्षक: --- प्रशेन ह.क्यावल

One of of my favourite directors Raj Kumar Santoshi, known for his admirable story telling skills returns on the screen with his romantic comedy featuring Ranbir Kapoor & Katrina Kaif. There are huge expectations from the three and everyone is looking forward to witness another applaudable comedy on the lines of Santoshi’s highly appreciated “Andaz Apna Apna”. The promos are exciting and the songs are good. Hence, the stage is all set for just another blockbuster of the season from the maker of brilliant movies ranging from “Ghayal” & “Damini” to “Pukar” & “Halla Bol”. But now after watching the latest project from one of my most admired directors, I remember a phrase which I don’t believe in really, but is often used by the artistic people in the creative field. It is called “CREATIVE BLOCK” which refers to a phase in the life of creative people where they are not able to create as per their own set standards and come up with some shockingly underworked projects which were completely unexpected from a person of their status. “Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani” exactly falls in that category. Starting with a deliberately created comedy sequence, the movie clearly gives you an idea that it is not going to be what was being expected. And as the clock moves on you realise that this time Santoshi has delivered the weakest movie of his sparkling career. Surprisingly, the film has got nothing before intermission except the sincere, skillful performance of Ranbir and glamorous looks of Katrina. There is neither any story development in progress nor any well defined characters on the screen as seen in the previous works of the director. Till intermission only the love angle is visible to the viewers and one keeps on wondering that where the hell is movie heading towards. Beside this, when the real plot unfolds, it has no surprise elements as you already have guessed it without any serious efforts. Post interval, with the introduction of some new characters, the movie even slides down further due to its disastrously weak writing. In fact there are only few hilarious scenes having the exclusive Santoshi touch towards the climax of the movie. But they are very few in quantity, compared to the movie’s enormous promotional campaign emphasizing on comedy. The final sequence in the Don’s den is also similar to the one seen in “Andaz Apna Apna” but it greatly lacks in content. The movie has only one performer throughout and he is Ranbir Kapoor at his best. Giving excellent notable performance, he simply shows that he knows his job very well. Katrina on the other hand has got nothing great written for her in the script. So she remains as a pretty face in the movie who he capable of giving much better. The rest of the entire cast fails to make any kind of impact on the viewer which is not a routine kind of feature in a Raj Kumar Santoshi film. Moreover, Santoshi makes many strange and bizarre kind of moves in his current offering which raises enough doubts on his real involvement in the project. For instance, the confusion over the city in which the story is staged, the short cameo of Salman Khan in the first half, the un-necessary stammering act of both Ranbir & Katrina, the broken English dialogue scene of Ranbir and the surprising entry of a character resembling JESUS towards the end. Actually speaking, all these scenes doesn’t seem to be directed by the Santoshi we know from so many years. He may have not tasted success in many of his previous projects, but there has never been a BAD Santoshi film as APKGK. Musically, the movie does have few good numbers from Pritam which may go un-noticed due to the under-performance of the film. Cinematography serves the purpose well but it’s sad to see that we still have to move on to the hill stations and snow-mountains to film a romantic song featuring the lead. But actually, the main culprit here remains the writing department which takes everything back to the mediocre levels. In the end, let’s take this movie as a result of an unproductive phase in the career of an immensely talented director. And let’s pray that he gives us a much better and polished product next time. Rating : 1.5 / 5 |
