I love this movie so much

Absolutely Fantastic

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Imran Khan started off with a superhit romantic Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa produced by his uncle, after that he tried to go the Hrithik way, who after KNPH had done offbeat roles in Fiza and Mission Kashmir.He chose rubbish films like Kidnap and Luck is another story and both bombed and then he returned to romantic comedy with I Hate Love Storys which also had Sonam Kapoor who was struggling then. The film has a sort of different concept showing Imran being a non believer of love.However the treatment is somewhat identical to most romcoms. The film has a skeletal plot, some moments are well handled but there's nothing new about the film. Being a film under Karan Johar's banner, the film looks beautiful, the actors are showing playing spot boys but their looks and make up is very chic.Direction by Punit Malhotra is decent Music was the saving grace, Jab Mila Tu sung by Vishal is superb, Sadka Kiya is the best song of the film, rest are good tooImran Khan plays his role well but there's nothing new in his approach, Sonam Kapoor does well too but her role doesn't' demand much Aamir Ali is okay, Samir Soni does a good take off on Karan Johar, Sameer Dhatani, Pooja Ghai are okay, Anju Mahendru, Ketki Dave are alright, Kavin Dave is hilarious, bruna Abdullah too has an appearance

I have no idea why this movie has received such scathing reviews. The only thing I can surmise is that people were looking for it to show some sort of deep meaning or hidden message about love or life or something. Truly, this movie shows us none of that. It's pretty obvious from the get-go that this is a movie not made to be taken seriously, but to simply provide entertainment for people, which in my opinion, it does. Rather well, too, actually.Now, I'm not Indian, and neither have I seen a lot of Bollywood movies, but I do consider myself a rather jaded and picky movie-goer. When I chose to watch "I Hate Love Storys", I was looking for a light, fluffy romantic comedy to keep me entertained for a couple of hours due to insomnia. I wasn't disappointed in the least, which is rather surprising.First off, I was expecting the usual over the top, melodramatic Bollywood love story fare. Even though I'm not an expert on the genre, I do know that seems to be the norm. Well, it's notably absent in this movie, at least, in a serious sense. What one must take into account is that the whole movie is a spoof on such traditional Bollywood love films. It is full of clichés, quite obviously meant to be clichés and meant to be taken that way. Yet, it does so with such wit and humour that even I laughed out loud more than once.I think the actors did a wonderful job. I did not get the impression of 'overacting' on the part of any of them, which is saying a lot, considering it is Bollywood. Imran Khan is fabulous as J. He brings both a sex appeal and sense of humour that make his character irresistibly cute and endearing. Sonam Kapoor is both beautiful and strong, and really comes across a real person rather than just a love-struck heroine. The real scene stealers, though, I thought, were Kavan Dave as J's best friend, who was hilarious as the egg-throwing, overweight sidekick, and Aamir Ali, who plays the typical Bollywood hero heart-throb who has an overwhelming love for his own backside. :D All in all, if you're looking for an epic love story, this isn't for you. However, if you're looking for cute, feel-good movie full of humour as well as romance, a film that doesn't take itself too seriously, then you'll certainly be pleasantly entertained for a couple of hours.

One doesn't need to watch this film to write its review. In fact one doesn't need to watch any of Karan Johar's romantic flicks to write their reviews if they have watched any one of his romance film viz. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai etc. etc. The reason for watching this film was entirely different. I would like to narrate that incident related to why I watched this film? Producer Karan Johar ran a campaign where he told audience to watch this film and if they did not like it and can support their disliking with a valid reason, they can get a full refund of their ticket money. I together with four such guys went to Karan's office to claim our refund. We met Karan Johar. Karan Johar asked me first.Karan Johar- What is your profession? I- A Film Critic. Karan Johar- See, I understood. Your face only looks like a critical case. Once a critic, always a critic. This film is not meant for Critics… I mean not for any critical acclaim or such. It is just a fun film for "normal" people. Abey, films ko films Ki Tarah dekho yaar. Your claim is invalid. First Guy- But I too did not like the film. I am not a critic. Please refund my ticket money. Karan Johar- Hang on! Are you a teenager or a college student? First Guy- No I am office going. Karan Johar- Then your claim is invalid since this film is targeted to very young people and you are a bit too old to enjoy it. People like you cannot "connect" to the idea of the film. Second Guy- In that case, I should get a refund. I am a college student. Karan Johar- But are you in love? Do you have a girl friend? Second Guy- No Karan Johar- Your claim is again invalid as this film is meant for those guys who are very much in love with either a girl or even a "guy", only then they can understand the idea behind the film. Third Guy- My refund claim is definitely valid. I am a college student and have a girl friend also. Karan Johar- Did you watch this film with your girl friend? Third Guy- No Karan Johar- Your claim is again invalid as this film is meant to be watched with your girl friend only. I mean, "couples together" can enjoy this film as it is "all about loving your lovers". Fourth Guy- Now you can't dismiss my claim as I am not only a college student, but have a girlfriend and I went to watch this film with my same girlfriend. Karan Johar- But did you watch this film patiently, attentively, completely. Fourth Guy- Yes of course. We both watched it completely & attentively. Karan Johar- Then how can you get a claim? If someone goes to watch a film with a girl, is he supposed to watch "a film" or to do his "own" things with his girl Ask those "normal" couples how they watched this film as they came out so happily. I mean, come on yaar. Something is seriously wrong with you. None of the claims of you people is valid therefore how can you say that "I HATE LUV STORYS". Go, have a Kupp of Koffee with Dharma, my peon and forget your claims. Finally, none of us able to prove that we did not like this film and since we did not get our money also we are forced to believe like many others who say- "I LUV I HATE LUV STORYS." Thank you.

I don't know why everybody is criticising this movie. This is all in all a typical bollywood romantic comedy. Story is very simple as all other bollywood romantic movies but this the speciality of this movie too. In it director is making a satire on romantic bollywood movies for same story line, plot etc. but in a different way. Cinematography of the movie is fantastic, music is good & catchy, some songs are really very good. Sonam Kapoor is looking very beautiful in the movie & sets are very good looking. Everybody acted well in it. You can really understand this movie if u r in relationship with someone. Even if u r not, u can enjoy it for its fun & entertaining part.............
