I don't HATE this LUV STORY :) - Its A HIT Luv Story!
Raj aur Simran. Yeh Naam toh suna hi hoga. Yes..DDLJ, which was not a Karan Johar film, but he had assisted Aditya Chopra for that film. Today, KJo's assistant (Punit) has directed I Hate Luv Storys and has brought in Raj and Simran in it. But wait, this Raj and Simran are not SRK and Kajol, they are Sameer and Sonam. Cute lovers, Raj woos Simran daily with his bunch of white Roses to her. Popcorn Dating, Ice Cream Eating, Romantic Candle Light Dining - Everythingz Fine. Their Luv chemistry is average on screen until a Casanova flirt Imran (J) comes in picture who Hates Luv Storys. (Looks like he is an RGV fan, who cant stand KJo type of films) and cant withstand Romantic Film Maker Sameer Soni's love subjects. But, has to work under him as his assistant director and has to also be a colleague to Simran, who is an art director and luv's romantic films. Yep.. The subject of the film is a film atmosphere with the setting of a film set. You gonna watch a Film set in a Film theater. Jai (Hates) and Simran (Loves) Luv Stories. While Simran always believe in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, J ko Kuch Bhi Nahi Hota Hai. The opposites do attract after a while and then, finally Jai ka Dil Toh Pagal Hai. Its Luv which wins! J Loves LUV story and poor Raj hates luv storys. Lol!
Do not get confused with the way I have written this review.
The film reminds you of Jaane Tu.. (not because the similarity of Imran Khan's character and his presence), but the feel of the film and the climax (with a interesting one here). And besides this, lots of scenes will remind of of other films for sure! But, you cant tell them as remakes, its inspiration. What say, Its all Filmi. Right?
Well.. I do luv Love stories and I have loved all Yashji and KaranJo's love stories (Lets be practical, Kjo's films are more like Yashji's and Adi's films... so they are like a Family). I luvd Lamhe, Chandni, Darr, DDLJ, Dil To Pagal Hai, Kuch Kuch, Kal Ho Na Ho, Kabhi Alvida...
But I did Hate a few of Adi's products like Thoda Pyar No Magic, Nil N' Nikky etc. So, in a way we do Hate Luv Storys too.
But, this one is NOT to be hated. Its a film that every teenager would luv to watch with his/her valentine. Debutante Punit Malhotra has presented the film in a way Yashji presented Dil To Pagal Hai and KJo presented Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in the initial beginning. But with more colors, fashionable clothes (excellent Manish Malhotra creations) and beautiful settings which is a treat for your eyes. Roses, Chocolates, Clothing's, Greetings, Songs, Gifts and lotsssa more that today's generation loves. Go watch it.
The film according to me should be 'HIT' LUV STORYs. (As the film will be HIT for sure).

I Love LUV Storys!
Watched this because I wanted to check out Imran Khan although one could guess the story and its ending. Imran was indeed treat for the eyes and not just by the shirtless scenes, I was smitten by his every facial expression. But I'm not happy that Samir Dattani wasn't looking at his best. Nice time pass movie. The theatre was laughing at all the funny scenes. 'Bahara' is now officially my song of the week.
