Gori tere pyaar me

Cast: Imran Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Anupam Kher

Director: Punit Malhotra

Genre: Romance, Drama

 

Not all that bad as mostly would expect. Watchable but lengthy

Pluses:

• Imran Khan steals the show for me. He convincingly looks a south indian of current generation. I like him in lighter roles than serious ones. He suits here better and loved most of his dialogue deliveries specially in the first half
• The songs "tooh" and and groovy number looks pretty catchy and nice on big screens
• The story narration and flow was interesting and easy going in the first half. You will have a few laughter here and there and does also not miss on the love affairs and relation aspect, you do look forward to the story past interval
• Shraddha Kapoor is pretty, demure lady as usual and fits in well :)
• Anupam Kher is versatile, i need not write more :) He can convincingly make the audience love him or even hate him as per the role played :)
• I personally liked the first half for the various practical scenarios and statements in the movie, makes a lot of sense and does trigger good lot of thought :) The drama felt very new age, and that is the plus point
• For all the bangalore residents, there is quite a bit to see :) I thoroughly enjoyed watching different corners of Bangalore and major landmarks on big screens :)

 

 

Lukewarm:

• Kareena Kapoor is just about fine. She looks quite beautiful although but her overdone attitude just shows up everywhere, bored of it. Her role was significant but i think its her attitude that in the end ruins it all
• Rest of the songs were very average in terms of music
• The second half was very long and very filmy, seen it a lot of times before...appreciate the way they shot the phases one after another, yet should have been shortened

Minuses:

• The length of the movie starts irritating in the second half. They pulled it too long
• You never feel the chemistry between the two in the second half, the entire rating of the movie drops only due to the show(or rather no show :)) post interval
• Second half gives you a feeling as if you are watching a completely different movie :) If you wish to watch two movies at the price of one, go ahead :D

  

My rating: 2.5/5
