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.

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011
Movie: Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Director: Abbas Tyrewala
Time: 2008
Stars: Imran Khan, Genelia D’souza and Manjari Fadnis
Snapshot of the story
“Jaane tu Ya Jane Na” is an outstanding fun flick from many of the first time debutants like Imran Khan (actor) and Abbas Tyrewala (director). A love story blended with a very close friendship due to which both of the lovers deny their love and think themselves as only good friends. The story is based on the same plot like that of ‘Quyamat Se Quyamat Tak” being a teenage love story. But it is the art director who is able to present it differently.

Storyline
“Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na” is a story of a gang of 6 friends where Jai Singh Rathore aka Rats (played by Imran Khan) and Aditi Mahant aka Meow (played by Genelia D’souza) are the close friends. They are almost made for each other, everyone including their parents, friends knows this fact but they deny and say that they are just simply good friends and nothing more, But it is also another fact that both of them feel uneasy being away from each other.
Once Jai is called by Aditi’s parents for a talk about their engagement but both Jai and Aditi act childishly and reject the proposal. As a result of this Aditi’s parents starts searching for another guy who can be her life partner. When they get the perfect one, they engage Aditi with him. Now the pace of movie is slow and it is stretched a bit, but this is the most interesting part of the movie as due to jealousy from Aditi’s fiancé Jai looks for a girlfriend for himself. In the meantime, both Aditi and Jai realized their love for each other and start seeking each other out to find out whether the love is from both ends or not.
Final Thoughts
Debutant director Abbas Tyrewala did an excellent job. “Jane Tu Ya Jaane Na” very simple story and does not have any thing that excites audience but it is the story narration that did the trick and it became a hit. Debutant Imran Khan - nephew of Amir Khan has done an outstanding job along with Genelia D’souza and gave the best performance. A.R. Rahman was up to the task in making the music for a romantic comedy. Naseerudin Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah, being both mature actors justified their presence on the screen.
Rating
“Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na” scores 8 points out of 10 for the outstanding job done by each and every member of the crew. Movie did well in the box office collecting about $20 million which is quite an achievement.
