This is not going to be a formal review. But a rant piece instead.
A lot has been spoken about this movie in the recent times.
Rajkumar Santoshi directed this one.
He apparently wanted this to become a huge hit so he went ahead and said something like…
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is funnier than Andaz Apna Apna.
I am not sure what was going on in his mind when he said something like this.
Can he really hope to top Andaz Apna Apna in this lifetime? I doubt so. His name is associated with these movies that were made after AAA: Barsaat, China Gate, Pukar and Lajja.
I also checked out several other sources for reviews of this movie. Times of India gave it a 4! They do not give out a 4 rating to terrible movies. The Wikipedia page of this movie is full of favorable reviews given out by well known critics.
So, I decided to check this movie out. Despite it having:
Ranbir Kapoor
Katrina Kaif
Upen Patel
Salman Khan appears in the movie in a special appearance role.
The movie? It turned out to be a disaster. I mean if I had not heard the good reviews and the claims made by Santoshi, I might have found it to be average. But after expecting something from this one, I came out totally disappointed.
I would like to hear your views on this one. I really have lost my faith in all the movie critics in this country. Looks like Tips decided to spend more money on them than on creating a good movie.
The movie was too predictable and very unrealistic. Luckily it did have few funny moments. I wanted to leave the hall in the interval, but my friends somehow liked it.
Er, you're not alone. Some friends watched this movie and one of them directed me to this link, which sums up what is happening to movies.

I think TimesOfindia would be its media partner !!!!!!
