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.
