Ajab Gazabb Love Review In Short
A rich heir pretends to be poor in order to impress the woman of his dreams, who disapproves of the affluent class…
Ajab Gazabb Love Review Verdict
Though the film has quite a few funny moments, the overall film is not so great…worth a watch, though…
Ajab Gazabb Love Review Story Plot
Rajveer (
Jackky Bhagnani) is the son of a rich business tycoon Yashwardhan Grewal (
Darshan Jariwala), who falls in love with a social science student Madhuri Singh (
Nidhi Subbaiah) after spotting her while on his way to work. When Rajveer lands up at her college to find out more about her, he discovers that Madhuri has a healthy dislike for the moneyed class. Determined to win her heart, Rajveer not only pretends to be a poor mechanic, but also ropes in his family for the mission. How this leads to hilarious circumstances forms the rest of the plot.
Ajab Gazabb Love Review Performances
Without a doubt, the actors have put in their best as far as performances are concerned. Veteran actors Darshan and
Kirron Kher leave you in splits with their antics and even young Jackky displays a great comic timing, though he fails to impress in emotional scenes. Nidhi is passable but
Arjun Rampal, who might be considered by some as slightly weak in the acting department, surprises you with his performance (the hunky model-actor has a great screen presence, which adds to it). Another surprise package is
Arshad Warsi, who is seen in a short role and makes you wish there was more of him in the rest of the movie.
Ajab Gazabb Love Review Direction
In all honesty, this film could have been a great watch had director
Sanjay Gadhvi focused solely on the comic element. The film is darn funny in parts and is sure to leave you chuckling in your pop-corn buckets. However, the director makes the mistake of inserting emotional scenes throughout the movie when they are not required, which mars the overall effect. Moreover, the makers could have surely done away with a couple of songs, which achieve nothing more than putting Jackky's enviable abdominal muscles and lean physique on full display.
Ajab Gazabb Love Review Music
Except for the peppy Boom Boom and the foot-tapping Nachde Punjabi, the rest of the music of the film does not really leave an impact as such.
Ajab Gazabb Love Review Final Word
If you are looking forward to a few chuckles and guffaws, do go for this movie…However, don't carry too much expectations with you…
