The much awaited rom-com movie of the year, ironically titled ‘I hate Luv stories’ will finally manage to set the cash registers ringing with its simple yet interesting story line.  A out an out romantic film, ‘I hate Luv stories’ has the sexy Sonam Kapoor paired opposite Imran Khan. Rest of the cast includes names like actor Sameer Dattani, Sameer Soni, Ketki Dave, Anju Mahindru…. Special mention of model Bruna Abdullah, who just adds up the glam quotient..

Directed by newbie Puneet Malhotra, the film is the story of Jai (played by Imran) who works as an assistant director to a filmmaker (Sameer Soni) and Simran (played by Sonam) happens to be the art director at his work place. While Simran is a diehard fan of romantic movies and is fully romantic at heart, Jay is the total opposite, a person who loves girls but just hates love stories. Basically it’s a story of how opposites attract.

‘I hate Luv stories’ has got some terrific music to groove to. Music directors Vishal- Shekhar have done an excellent job. The music is fresh, trendy, energetic and quite peppy. Songs like ‘Bin Tere’ and ‘Bahara’ are just admirable. The most outstanding one has to be the title track of the film.

The director made an excellent choice by bringing a rather unique pair of Sonam Kapoor and Imran Khan together. Imran and Sonam just sizzle on the screen with their intense chemistry. After the unusual pairing of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif recently, the next big pair to hit the screens has to be Imran and Sonam.

Exotic locales, sets and some trendy outfits and smart tees from his uncle Manish Malhotra, just adds to the magic.. Imran Khan has done a superb job, quite refreshing and remarkable. Though people who love ‘love stories’ will definitely hate his character.

Sonam Kapoor does justice to her role. Surely she got to play much more than what she got to do in her earlier films. Must say she looks uber cool, amazing in her classy yet elegant chick look.

Actor Sameer Dattani who plays Sonam’s ‘Mr. Perfect’ in the film, is quite a bore. Who happens to be so simple and intense nowadays? Unfortunately his role in the movie gets sidelined in the later half. He could have got some more interesting and meatier character.

Being his first film, Puneet clearly has set a high benchmark however, the candyfloss movie which is hugely inspired from several other Bollywood romantic flicks, at times becomes too predictable and clichéd…

Overall, ‘I hate Luv Stories’ has an interesting pair which is quite successful in attracting the audience’s attention or rather say its (USP)unique selling point. A laugh riot teamed up with romance, resulting into a full on Bollywood masala movie. A young and vibrant story, ‘I hate Luv Stories’ has got a   tremendous youth appeal!!
