Gori Tere Pyaar Mein! (2013) Reviews

• Makes you wonder that for whom they actually made this & why?

  bobbysing2013-11-24

  Certain films raise not one or two but several questions in your mind about the team behind its making and their basic thought structure before going ahead with such tasteless, ridiculous and uninspiring kind of script without giving it a second thought. So instead of writing a usual review, here I would like to share my conclusions after watching this 'quite hard to see' romantic comedy, wherein I neither found the romance nor any comedy as calmly promoted by its makers with a pretty bad song. 1. "You are a born film-maker!" Now this phrase can be interpreted in two ways. One when a person has a great, gifted talent of film-making in him, which he has developed through his own efforts and hard work, working in the field for years before being called a Film-maker. And Two, when a person has simply got born in the family related to film business or movie-making and therefore obviously becomes a Film-maker by default. (And the same theory goes for the actors too in many cases) 2. Sometimes a project just gets all the needed approvals from a corporate house without any objections raised, simply because of the big names backing it from the front, even when there is no script, storyline or an idea shared about what actually they are approving and putting their money in. 3. In such ventures, even the actors don't know what they are actually being signed for, since the script is yet to be given a thought after finalizing the entire schedule and dates. 4. And when the need of the script arises, they just mix and match few of their senior's famous films hurriedly, as if there are only fools coming to the theater and they can be served anything in the name of a film with some glossy faces and songs. 5. Such projects try to incorporate everything which is trending around without any set vision. So if Punjabi is the in-thing, they get a completely insane and horrible song written around a Punjabi word used for the 'Bums' and just don't care to enquire about its actual use in the language at all! (And it was this song, questionably written as "Tooh", which simply left me with jaws open in disbelief and disgust like never before in all these recent decades honestly. In fact I cannot remember a Hindi film song falling to this sick and ridiculous level ever to say the least.) 6. Normally in the first day shows of a film, all the theater attendants, caretakers and torch-men are also very much interested in watching the new film, standing quietly along the wall with their eyes on the screen. But in a film such as GORI TERE PYAAR MEIN, even they walk out of theaters after an hour or so and never return back even post intervals. 7. When film-makers who perhaps have never been to any real village or remote areas, try to show a village in their film as per their forced-in script demand. Then it's pretty obvious that it turns out to be completely artificial, senseless and fake, since they haven't got the vision to portray such earthy elements on the screen in reality. And that is possibly the reason why GTPM truly becomes unbearable in its second half as it shifts into a fake village wherein a bridge is to be built in a pure LAGAAN or SWADES style by the star architect. 8. A film like GTPM does teach you a valuable lesson of life too, that sometimes even when there is everything available on the table to make a delicious dish, the cook still may make a silly mess out of it due to his over-confidence or no fear of a failure at all (read no-work) in the near future. 9. Lastly, GTPM strongly makes you wonder that did its makers really knew that for whom or for which target audience they were actually making this film and Why? To end with, if a newcomer (or a struggler writer) would have gone to any of the production houses related with the film, with this SCRIPT in hand to make a movie on. Then either he would have got the rejection right away in hours or the script would have been thrown in the bin as soon as he has gone out of the office after reading only its few opening pages. Anyway, searching for the only silver lining in this black cloud, there are 10 odd minutes of beautiful Shraddha Kapoor in the film, which are watchable. And in case you are too serious to watch her on the screen post AASHIQUI 2, then just see the film at a lower cost ticket before the intermission and simply walk away.

• Gori tere pyaar mein is awesome

  justrap1232013-11-26

  Gori tere pyaar mein is an awesome movie. Most of the people having problem with this movie either don't know what bollywood is all about or are plain biased and are here to bring down the movie as there were multiple releases on the date of gori tere pyaar mein's release and this movie going down will only benefit their favourite stars . Agreed both the main leads of this movie are at the low point of their careers and hence such negativity is unavoidable but gori tre pyaar is an awesome movie with some really amazing moments and good performances and the best part is that it gives the audience a jab we met feeling. Ask this to somebody who has really seen the movie and isn't biased towards a particular actor and he/she will share the same opinion. All i am saying is that you give the movie a try on it's merits and not give in to all the negativity. Kareena kapoor has always been an amazing actress and imran khan has transformed into a much better actor in his last few movies. The songs are great and peppy too, you would have a hell of a time and enjoy a lot, trust me.

• Surprisingly Good !!

  ketgup832013-12-19

  Rom-com flicks are one of genre which has not been experimented in Bollywood much lately. Gori Teri Pyaar Mein is refreshing change for Indian audiences who have witnessed an overdose of masala films in 2013. Sriram Venkat(Played by Imran Khan) is good-for-nothing architect working in his dad's firm who has no respect for any relationships. Dia (played by Kareena Kapoor) is a social crusader who wants to help the needy. They fell in love only to break-up. However, Sriram travels to a remote village to build a bridge for the local people to win back his love at any cost. From the director of "I Hate Love Story", Puneet Malhotra does a fine job in trying out something different. Though the love story is predictable, it is the treatment of subject that makes it set apart. The first half is hilarious, fun and has moments to remember. Second half begins with a bang but the climax makes it a spoilsport. How I wish it could be handled with maturity and overall it would have been a good rom-com to watch. Screenplay looses the steam and insertion of songs breaks the momentum of the film. Music by Vishal-Shekhar is a let down. Cinematography is eye-catching. Art direction is good. Dialogues are believable. Kareena Kapoor is the eye-candy of the film. She does an awesome job playing the social activist role with aplomb. Imraan Khan is good but still has to work on his expressions. Overall, I liked the film and found it to be surprisingly fair entertainment. Good 3/5

• Director ensures that bollywood is capable of producing good Romantic-comedies.

  adityapadhi2013-11-22

  Movie is a love story of complete opposites.Gori tere Pyaar mein is about Sriram Venkat(Played by Imran Khan) is a young architect who doesn't value relationships. & Dia (Kareena Kapoor) is his complete opposite. She is a social activist who wants to build a carrer of her own. Like most romantic relationships, they fall in love, break-up and then fall in love again. The story itself is extremely predictable.however it works because of its vibrant energy.The make up & break up scenes are very well executed. Direction: Punit Malhotra has done a great job.He has improved a lot since his last movie.The movie has flaws but it is immensely watchable because of the directors gud work and Music. Star Performances: Imran khan impresses as Sriram.He acted really well in the romantic as well as the emotional scenes. Kareena Kapoor is a charmer.Her performance in this movie is treat to all. But the chemistry between Imran Khan & Kareena Kapoor is what adds life to the movie. Shraddha Kapoor& Anupam Kher are brilliant too. Music:Gori Tere Pyar mein has the best album of the year so far.Songs are brilliantly picturised and well placed. kudos to Vishal & Shekhar In the end Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is highly watchable. You can easily go and watch & enjoy with your family and friends. It is a complete family entertainer. Watch this feel-good movie to have good time. My ratings : 7/10

• Done to Death....Also Karan Johar should wake up and smell coffee

  silvan-desouza2013-11-29

  There's nothing new to expect from such a film after seeing the promos, Imran Khan back to romcoms after his experiments like Maitru Ki Bhijli Ka Mandola and OUATIM Dobara failed. He thought perhaps he will be safe as it's Karan Johar production and his most films are hits, whether there have anything or no. The last time Punit and KJO teamed with Imran was in I HATE LOVE STORYS in 2010 when Imran's films were failing, like Kidnap and Luck, the film worked Imran again worked in EMAET in 2012 which teamed with Kareena Kapoor, this time again the jodi is repeated however in a repetitive set up. The film starts off okay, the song Dhat Teri Ki is already a hit and it provides a good start but the film is hardly anything imaginative in the first half, The first half is a mere set up while the second half shifts to a hamlet on Gujarat Border where Imran goes in search for his love who is a social worker who works for a NGO. There are lot of implausible sequences in the film, like Kareena's NGO act but she doesn't think twice before cheating while trying to get through a traffic, even worse she dances at a song named TOOH meaning butt. Karan Johar lives in his own lala land and his films are hardly realistic, The ease at which the villagers construct the bridge is too hard to digest, even there lot more implausible situations The film is very predictable and gets boring too Direction by Punit is nothing great Music is good, Dhat Teri Ki is superb, Naina is okay, Dil Duffer is amazing, Tooh is also good typicaly KJO type, Imran Khan has done such roles before and doesn't add anything new, also his eyebrow dancing does get irritating, He is okay but nothing different Kareena Kapoor Khan is good in her part which isn't written properly Amongst rest Anupam Kher is good in his part, Shraddha Kapoor is good in a small role rest are okay
