Tamil Movie Review

Every moment Katrina spent on the sets of Prakash Jha’s Rajneeti, the news was being updated on Twitter. The authenticity of the details could lead anyone to believe that it was the actress herself who was tweeting. But it was an impersonator who created an account in Katrina’s name.

What was interesting was that the moment it was pack up time. the tweeting would stop. And it would begin only the next day at the same time when the shooting would begin. This went on for a couple of days, till a few friends brought this to her notice. An annoyed Kats probed into the issue only to find out that the mischief monger was one of the crew members of the film.

She then brought up the matter with the production house.

Ranbir Kapoor is all set to act in Anurag Basu's next film for which the director has managed to rope in both, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra, as the leading ladies. "Even as rumours claimed that Ranbir is dating Katrina, recent buzz has it that the actor had a fling with Priyanka Chopra too during their long schedule of Anjaana Anjani in the US. Meanwhile, Katrina has always maintained that she is not on good terms with Priyanka ever since Salman got into a tiff with her. So it came as a surprise when both the actresses decided to work together in the same film,"

The glam factor is all set to rise this IPL. While Royal Challengers had Katrina Kaif as their brand ambassador last season, a new war has been sparked off for that position. "There have been constant rumors claiming that Deepika Padukone has replaced Katrina as the new brand ambassador. Katrina is miffed with the news as her contract is on for two more years. The fact that Deepika, a girl from Bengaluru, will be attending the first match to support her home team has not gone down well with Katrina. The two have a cold war going on ever since Deepika broke off with Ranbir and there were rumors that Ranbir was dating Katrina. Katrina is fuming and has spoken to officials to clear the matter. She does not want Deepika involved in anything to do with the match.

Ajab Prem ki Gazab Kahani is a love story that has more fun and laughter on its way to the marriage registrar than heartbreak or romance. And herein lie the film's delights and discontent.

In a town whose radius is about two kilometers, we meet Prem Shankar Sharma (Ranbir Kapoor) in jeans, canvas shoes and shirts that are either checked or striped.
He failed in class 9, has no career plan except to remain the president and mascot of Happy Club. The club, which either cons or coerces people to become members, probably has a long "must do" list. Prem's father disapproves of Prem's pointless days. The two have a strange relationship. Prem confronts his father's taunts with wit, insults and drivel. His mother loves him unconditionally.

Jenny (Katrina Kaif), a Christian orphan whose adopted parents are more stupid than vile, arrives in this kiddie town, misreads Prem and eventually the two become friends.
They have a lot in common, including the inability to convince the audience that they stammer every time a situation gets senti.Anyway, Prem is soon in love. But he can't say.So he does all that Jenny likes eating non-veg and working diligently for money (superhero in a halwai's kitchen).

While he's hoping Jenny is watching, Jenny's parents whisk her off to Goa to be married to a rich man's son. Prem is about to rescue her when she announces that she's in love with Rahul (Upen Patel). Rahul is rich and talks of a Ferrari in Frankfurt, but his politician father is dead against the marriage. Prem puts aside his own feeling to get Rahul for Jenny. In the middle of all this, one duffer and broke don kidnaps Jenny. Prem must rescue Jenny. There's lots of flying, hitting and kicking in and around a large tub of water, with soap bubbles, electric shocks and Jenny's inept attempts to help Prem.

APKGK is Rajkumar Santoshi's second shot at comedy after his 1994 Andaz Apna Apna. For a director known most for extracting awesome, guttural performances from Sunny Deol in Ghatak and Ghayal and bringing a kind of savage street violence never seen in Indian movies before, it's fabulous to note that his funny bone is happily intact. All of APKGK is his - screenplay, dialogues and direction. Though the story has mildly annoying jerks and jumps and random characters keep crash ing into it, Santoshi's snappy dialogues work very well.

As long as the movie stays in its colorful comic bubble -- Prem is so Archie, and Jenny so Betty -- it works. Every time it steps out in the real world, it begins to falter.

For example, when Jenny is being forced to marry Goa boy, her prospective father-in law tells her: "You have two choices, either become his wife in church tomorrow morning, or he'll make you his wife in his bedroom". This made me cringe, twice.

Katrina Kaif in frocks with pin tucks and gathers and colorful hair-bands is simply lovely. Except for her very-Brit Hindi, she's put in a very nice, even performance.

Prem's character, though incomplete and inconsistent -- for a boy so cocky and cool, it makes no sense that he can't string a sentence of English -- is the best thing in the film. Ranbir Kapoor's got the best dialogues and he delivers them with perfect timing and exaggerated but adorable expressions. He's really cute and cuddly that's probably why this comic love situation is not really a story.

After finishing New York Katrina has made her mark as a good actress who can take up any challenging role. After watching New York Karan Johar had made a point that in his next movie Dostana 2 he will cast Katrina Kaif for the lead role, though he maintained that not to change the cast but after watching Katrina's performance in New York he changed his mind.

Not only Karan even Anurag Kashyap wants Katrina for his next film. The maverick film director is making a series of movies about life in Mumbai and John Abraham is the only one who has been officially signed up so far. Anurag has also sent the script across to Katrina who has apparently loved it. It's just the kind of film Katrina would like to do at this point of time.

But still Katrina is in two minds about signing up for the movie. The primary reason is that she is not sure if she wants to be be paired opposite John Abraham again thats because lot has been written about Katrina Kaif and John Abraham's alleged relationship, especially post-New York.
Katrina is in no mood to handle the rumours. She wants to be in news only for her work right now.
