Storyline
Story of the movie starts with a nerdy college student from Delhi Janardan aka Jordan (played by Ranbir Kapoor), who has fond of music and dreams to become a Rockstar someday. Once while sitting with his best friend he is told that “tute hue dil ses hi sangeet nikalta hai” means true music evolves only from the broken heart. Now Jordan tries to get his heart broken from a girl named Heer who is famous for ditching guys.
On meeting Heer first he gets insulted by her but later on both of them gets befriended and slowly starts loving each other. But as their ways were different they have to get separated. Heer gets married in Prague and Jordan becomes a Rockstar (as his heart is now actually broken). Then there are few superb songs from A R Rahman and beautiful camerawork by Anil Mehta.
Now the story gets a turn when Jordan gets a chance to go for a music concert at Prague. There he starts searching Heer and finally meets her. Confronting each other both Heer and Jordan feels refreshed and becomes exciting. There are few romantic scenes that show the love between both of them still alive even after so many years.
Final Thoughts
Rockstar is emotional love story where Janardan Jakhad becomes Jordan. Ranbir Kapoor acting was awesome in the movie. Nargis Fakhri is impressive in her debut movie more with her beauty. Music composed by Oscar award winner A.R. Rahman and songs sung by ace singer Mohit Chauhan create the magic as they made the chart topper songs. Rockstar certainly established Ranbir Kapoor in the industry and gave Nargis Fakhri the perfect start needed.
Rating
Rockstar scored 7 out of 10 with rocking performance from Ranbir Kapoor. Director Imtiaz Ali has proved him as versatile director but he still need to come out of his emotional love story theme. Even though Rockstar failed to bring expected audience but it silence all his critics.

Storyline
Jay (Imran Khan) is a assistant of Veer, a most famous romantic filmmaker of the Indian film Industry but in real life he hates love stories and is a Casanova and a disbeliever of love. For a new film he has to work under a production designer named Simran (played by Sonam Kapoor). Simran loves Bollywood romances so much so that even her life has started resembling one. She is living a beautiful, dreamy and blissful life with her fiancé Raj (played by Sameer Dattani), and seems to be a match made in heaven.
Jay hates Simran for her love towards romance and her strong belief in romance and at the same time Simran dislikes him because of his misbehavior and hatred towards love. As they have to work together the rift between the two diminishes and both of them become best friends with each other. In the meantime, Simran realizes that she is in love with Jay and due to this her relationship with Raj becomes eroded. She then confesses her feelings to Jay but he refuses her proposal and says that they were just good friends and that he doesn’t believe in love. As a result of the refusal, heartbroken Simran flies away to New Zealand for further shooting of the movie and there she ignores Jay. Now Jay starts to become uneasy and agitated without her and realizes that he too has fallen in love with Simran.
Jay invites Simran for dinner and there he proposes her but Simran denies his proposal and becomes tied up again with her ex – fiancé Raj and she don’t want to ditch him again. Brokenhearted Jay thinks that he doesn’t need love in his life and tries to forget Simran but his friends and mother persuade him not to give up. Meanwhile Raj proposes Simran and she accepts the proposal but soon realize that she is not meant for Raj and she still loves Jay. Simran explains her feelings to Raj and goes to the premier show of the movie hoping that she will get to see Jay there. But Jay had already decided to leave and has reached the airport waiting for the flight, there she talks to his mother and gets encouraged by her and goes back to the premier showing of the movie. In this manner both of them meet each other giving the movie a happy ending.
Final Thoughts
“I Hate Luv Storys” is an usual love story and offers nothing new in the way of content in the movie. Director Punit Malhotra did a good job in dishing out a story with freshness. It as surprising to see why Karan Johar did not direct the movie who has created the essence of romance in his previous movie. Vishal Dadlani did a good make of vibrant music for the movie and did experiment himself as singer.
Rating
“I Hate Luv Storys” bags 6 out of 10 for good music and only because of director Punit Malhotra who delivered interesting love story in spite of the story lacking freshness.

Storyline
Prem (Ranbir Kapoor) is in the role of boy next door and looking for good job after graduation. After trying hard he joins his father’s restaurant. Prem and his friends help lovers by helping them getting married if their parents do not agree, they call it as social work.
One day they by mistake pickup Jenny (played by Katrina Kaif) in their mission. Jenny lives with her foster parents who are indifferent and uncaring. When Prem saw Jenny he falls in love with her and tries to impress her but fate has decided something else for him & he comes to know that Jenny loved another guy – Rahul (Upen Patel) who is a son of conniving politician. When Jenny tells Prem that the father of the guy is not ready for their marriage, Prem had a plan with his friends to flee away rahul and make arrangement for their wedding. Thye have to make another plan to flee away with Jenny also as her parents decided to she will marry with rich guy.
This plot of the movie is weak and does now convince audience but with charm of Katrina Kaif and boy next door image helped movie to do well in cinemas. Romantic scenes in the movie are good and it is the first time Katrina and Ranbir worked together, both looked good onscreen. Ajab Prem Ki Gajab kahani has lot of funny moments in the movie which makes audience glued to their seat.
Final Thoughts
Both Ranbir and Jenny look best in their role, all credit goes to Rajkumar Santoshi. Rajkumar Santoshi is the stable director in the Bollywood and has made movie of all genre like Romance, Musical, Drama, and Comedy. “Andaz Apna Apna” was his first hit comedy movie. Music of “Ajab Pre Ki Gajab Kahani” composed by Pritam who did fair job by giving it vibrant touch. Screenplay of the movie which made it looks good in spite of weak story line.
Rating
“Ajab Pre Ki Gajab Kahani” scores 5 out of but I would like to add 1 more start for only because of the char that Katrina brings on the movie.
