I HATE LUV STORYS(2010)

Director:Punit Malhotra
Producer:C. Ashwini Dutt,Karan Johar
Starring:Imran Khan,Sonam Kapoor
Music:Vishal-Shekhar
Duration:Approx150min.
Plot:Jay (Imran Khan) is an assistant to a director who is famous for his love story films.however, Jay hates love stories, and is a young,hot casanova. He believes love is nothing but a "sickness" which must be cured. On the other side of the story, Simran (Sonam Kapoor) loves love stories and has a fiancé named Raj. She is living a perfect life until Jay enters with his cynical opinions on love.
My Review:First of all let me tell you that i hate to put up this movie review on my blog.Sometimes good promotions make you go for such kind of movies.I went to see this movie with the mindset that this looks like modern 21st centuary flick with no typical bollywood lovestories.The irony is that in the whole movie every few minutes there is one scene making fun of typical bollywood love stories.Nothing we are not aware of.Infact we've grown up watching typical lovestories with songs,red roses,pink saris,rich boy-poor gal etc,etc...The same things have been made to look stupid in this movie.Karan has made maximum fun of his own movies like kabhi khushi,kuch kuch hota hein & Yash Raj movies like mohabbatein etc..
The lovestory of the movie is infact the most typical bollywood lovestory of all times.A gal who is engaged falls for a guy who is not interested in her as he is more interested in being a freelancer telling people "I hate Luv Stories".This is the first half.Second half the Guy who all his life hated love stories realises his mistake & startes loving.This is it happy ending.Nothing more.The dialogues are without any spark,very dull.Acting of both the characters is natural.There is one character which stands out is the character of Jay's friend.This guy has some pretty good scenes & funny too.The second half is too long with some useless song sequences(one more typical thing of bollywood luv stories).Much hyped dressing of lead characters by Manish Malhotra is nothing great.In all my suggestion is to to stay home & wait till your friend buys its DVD.So you can borrow from them.Don't bother to buy it yourself.
My Ratings:1.5/5
