Bollywood love stories are known to create magic at the box office and ‘I Hate Luv Storys' is no exception. I Hate Luv Storys by debutant director, Punit Malhotra stars Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor. The film is old wine in a new bottle as it does not have a very different storyline. The ideas and romantic sequences in the film are borrowed from earlier hit love stories. Just that the director's treatment of the age old theme, makes the film worth a watch!
I Hate Luv Storys is the story of Jay (Imran Khan) and Simran (Sonam Kapoor), two people as different as chalk and cheese. Simran is a die-hard romantic and loves love stories so much that her own life begins to resemble one. She lives in paradise with a doting boyfriend (Samir Dattani) and a good job as a production designer. Her world of dreams comes under threat as she comes across Jay, a cynic who believes in everything but love! Jay hates love stories. Things take a turn for the worse when he as an assistant director to Veer (Samir Soni), a film maker famous for making love stories, has to work under Simran.
Anyone watching the film can draw parallels ...
... between a Mills and Boon novel and the film. Punit Malhotra has done a commendable job as a writer. His characterization of Jay and Simran is also flawless. But Punit could have done better as a writer as some of the other characters in the film seem deficient. Vishal-Shekhar have done an exemplary job with creating the musical tracks of the film. Salim-Sulaiman's background score is top notch. Ayananka Bose proves his brilliant skills as a cinematographer yet again with this film, after Kites. Styling by Manish Malhotra is chic and classic.
Imran Khan's performs his part with ease and has truly captured the spirit of Jay on the marquee. Sonam Kapoor takes you by complete surprise as she completely reveals a new aspect of herself as an actress. Her role as Simran is very different from what she played in her earlier films, Delhi 6 and Saanwariya. Her transformation from a plain Jane to a glam chic has gone down very well with the audiences. Imran and Sonam illustrate crackling on-screen chemistry. Samir Dattani is good. Samir Soni lives upto to his seniority as an actor and plays his part well. Kavin Dave as Imran's pal has done a great job. The others Pooja Ghai, Ketaki Dave, Anju Mahendru are fair enough. Overall ‘I Hate Luv Storys' is a youthful film with the lead pair adding a lot of freshness to the storyline and plot of the film. The youth are making a beeline for the film. And if you are romantic at heart, ‘I Hate Luv Storys' is definitely for you!
