Starring: Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor, Upen Patel
Guest Appearance: Salman Khan, Lord Jesus
Directed by: Rajkumar Santoshi
Verdict: D+I don't know where to begin my review of the much touted superhit movie :( We saw the movie at Fame Lido, a now non-functional mall.
Quick run through of story: Small-town, 9 class fail, Prem (Ranbir Kapoor) is president of Happy Club. Happy Club's mission to keep everyone happy, leads to disastrous consequences. That when he meets Jenny (Katrina Kaif) and falls in love with her immediately. Needless to say, the bum turns to a new-leaf - hardworking and devoted to his lady love's happiness. Villainy strikes in the form of Jenny's "love interest" Rahul (Upen Patel) who is powerful politician's son. As with most movies, at the shaadi mandap, Jenny realizes she is in love with Prem and not Rahul.
What I hate about the movie:
Terribly contrived flick with next to no comedy or romance. It seemed like Ranbir forgot how to act. I still had to think really hard to figure out his 9 avatars through the movie. Katrina's acting skills have not improved much either. Upen's constantly constipated expressions compete with his need to deliver dialogue as stereotypical gay person. Salman's 15 sec of fame doesn't do much for him or the story line The songs have been fit in without any purpose or connection. The humour leaves much to be desired. The print promos were unbelivably misleading - I thought I was gonna watch a movie along the lines of Hum-Tum - a little animation/ comic-book transitions etc
What I like about the movie:
The wardrobe is young and hip AND totally wearable. The score is decent (if you don't think about them with context to the movie). Jesus's role as the Saviour :D The posters are wonderfully comic book styled (although there is NO connection with the movie)
Bottomline: There is no ajab or ghazab in this prem kahani. Watch at your own risk.
