Ajab Prem ki Gazab Kahani...Watch it for Ranbir!!!


Don't expect another Andaaz apna apna from Raj Kumar santoshi and you wouldn't be disappointed. APKGK is a movie which although has no real plot, is funny and makes you laugh (although it also employs some silly jokes to do so). Though it is an ordinary movie, the viewers will definitely come out of the cinema wearing a smile.

APKGK is set in the town of Ooty where Prem (Ranbir Kapoor) is the President of a Happy club. Jennifer (Katrina kaif) moves to town with his step-parents. Ranbir falls for Katrina the first time he sees her and after some usual drama become friends with her. A twist in the plot comes when Katrina confesses her love for someone else. Ranbir helps her out to get her love. Much expectedly, in the climax Katrina realises her love for Ranbir and they unite.

Ranbir has once again proved his acting skills after Wake up sid and has displayed superb comic timing. The dance party where he keeps shaking his body (in a funny manner) and justifies it by saying "dance se pehle body ko garam kar raha hoon" is worth a mention. Katrina, as always, looks beautiful and does full justice to her role. Other supporting actors such as Upen patel are decent and do justice to their part. Further, the music of the movie is quite enjoyable and adds to the movie positives.

On the other hand, the movie lacks soul because of the absence of a real plot. The second half of the movie drags a bit. On the whole, its a movie where the characters make the movie work rather than the story.

Positives:

* Ranbir Kapoor's excellent comic timing
* Gorgeous Katrina
* Music esp. tera hone laga hoon

Negatives:

* Slow pace in second half
* Some silly jokes

Rating:***

The story sounds same as "Pyar toh honna he thaa" well nothing new in story deptt. I have a choice b/w jail and APGK, after APGK review I will wait for jail review as APJK did not draw my attention.

Sit at home ....order a pizza or a pasta with coke ....and watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S.....time and money better spent.

@alphaseeker..But the experience in a cinema hall is altogether different and worth it.
