I Hate Luv Storys

NOTE: The following review is a result of the author's unfailing love for everything Karan Johar makes and everything Imran Khan features in.

After ages, a movie that calls for a review! Okay not a review review...but there's so much to say about the movie. Definitely more than the 140 characters that twitter provides for :P

From the minute I saw its first promo, I was suuuuuper excited about seeing the movie! It was such a slick n well-made teaser! But then, these days we have promos looking better than the actual movie! Luckily, it did not disappoint :)

IHLS is as typical as a Hindi movie can get without boring you to death. It's your regular chick-flick: 1.cynical boy meets dreamy girl 2.they fight incessantly till one day they end up friends 3.girl falls for boy only to realize he's not quite at the same place 4. boy falls for girl only to realize SHE is now back with the ex 5.a lot of drama n song-n-dance later...both of them are finally at the same place at the same time! And then it's happily ever after :)

Just the way I like it :) :D With all the prettiness that comes with a Karan Johar production. Good looking people..funny punchlines...relate-able humor. The entire package. The lead pair looks terrific together. It's asking for too much to expect them to act as well! ;) Imran Khan looks super uncomfortable dancing...n mosta the time you have to take a guess as to what exactly his expression meant. But hey! He is awfully cute :) 10 on 10 for cuteness. And he's gotten better in comparison to Jaane Tu and Luck...so there's definitely scope for improvement! My opinion that he would make a better Edward than Pattinson has been reinforced! Maybe they deliberately gave him that look. Dunno. But if anyone can pull it off, it's him!

As for the other half of the 'lead pair'...well, I wish I could say she has improved too :( Pretty face. Can't act for nuts. Yet. We will pray for her to get better.

The good part is, the supporting actors are all very good. Right from Ketaki Dave to Samir Soni. And Huzefa from Rishtadotcom (dunno his name). Umm...not Samir Dattani though ;) And the best part is the dialogues! Super funny. Mostly cheezy. But had me crackin' up all the time!

All in all, a good film. PERFECT if you ask me. If melodrama and predictability gets on your nerves though, you'd best avoid it.

I am crazy about movies. Especially Hindi movies. And contrary to popular belief, I read only HT City/Delhi Times/ Brunch. Oh not to forget What's Hot! hehe...

It's no secret that I adore Imran Khan's weekly columns. The guy is actually very good at it. Hence, even though I didn't think he'd actually read it, I sent him a mail. Mentioned my blog in it too. And guess what????? He actually mentioned that in his column this week!!!!!!! How cool is that!!???? Here are his exact words: "Aditi, I actually remember you messaging me on twitter... but you don’t tweet very often. I checked out your blog, I like the way you write. Kind of has a similar feel to my style, I think (minus the emoticons). You should write more frequently, though."

Ahhh.......feels like I've died n reached heaven. This is even better than the 80% discount at Landmark!

The rational part of me says that since half the world's girls are called Aditi (Exaggeration is my middle name btw), and the reply so vague...it could be addressing anyone. And it's not necessary that the real guy does the replying no? Must be some overpaid assistant. But being rational is so DULL. How many Aditis write blogs n don't 'tweet too often' and use a lotta emoticons??? (Rational me: Quite a few). Oh shut up rational me!!!
