Storyline
Prem (Ranbir Kapoor) is in the role of boy next door and looking for good job after graduation. After trying hard he joins his father’s restaurant. Prem and his friends help lovers by helping them getting married if their parents do not agree, they call it as social work.
One day they by mistake pickup Jenny (played by Katrina Kaif) in their mission. Jenny lives with her foster parents who are indifferent and uncaring. When Prem saw Jenny he falls in love with her and tries to impress her but fate has decided something else for him & he comes to know that Jenny loved another guy – Rahul (Upen Patel) who is a son of conniving politician. When Jenny tells Prem that the father of the guy is not ready for their marriage, Prem had a plan with his friends to flee away rahul and make arrangement for their wedding. Thye have to make another plan to flee away with Jenny also as her parents decided to she will marry with rich guy.
This plot of the movie is weak and does now convince audience but with charm of Katrina Kaif and boy next door image helped movie to do well in cinemas. Romantic scenes in the movie are good and it is the first time Katrina and Ranbir worked together, both looked good onscreen. Ajab Prem Ki Gajab kahani has lot of funny moments in the movie which makes audience glued to their seat.
Final Thoughts
Both Ranbir and Jenny look best in their role, all credit goes to Rajkumar Santoshi. Rajkumar Santoshi is the stable director in the Bollywood and has made movie of all genre like Romance, Musical, Drama, and Comedy. “Andaz Apna Apna” was his first hit comedy movie. Music of “Ajab Pre Ki Gajab Kahani” composed by Pritam who did fair job by giving it vibrant touch. Screenplay of the movie which made it looks good in spite of weak story line.
Rating
“Ajab Pre Ki Gajab Kahani” scores 5 out of but I would like to add 1 more start for only because of the char that Katrina brings on the movie.

Jazz’s father Manmohan Malhotra (Rishi Kapoor) decide that he will make Jazz marry one of his friend’s son Arjun (Akashay Kumar) so that she can learn the Indian culture.

Movie Ratings and Review of Namastey London
Storyline
Namastey London is the story of Arjun (Akshay Kumar) who loves his motherland and their customs and his struggle to find his true love. Jazz (Katrina Kaif) is in love with Charlie (Clive Standen ), however Jazz’s father Manmohan (Rishi kapoor) wants Jazz to marry Arjun so that she can learn Indian tradition and customs which he was not able to cultivate during her upbringing.
On their visit to India Jazz gets married to Arjun but as per the pact Arjun comes to London and starts living in London. After coming to London he realizes that Jazz does not love him and want’s to divorce him and tie the knot with Charlie. Arjun (Akshay Kumar) uses all sorts of ploy to create the love inside Jazz for him. Akshay Kumar fans would love his performance in this movie were he is in a more romantic role leaving behind his action hero image. Arjun (Akshay Kumar) finally manages to impress Jazz (Katrina Kaif) and take her back to India. There are few moments in the movie that ignite patriotism in every Indian who watches the movie. Movie does not loose the grip and flow very smoothly keeping the audience engagd and interested. This has been one of the highlights of Vipul Shah’s direction. Comic timing of Akshay Kumar is good and Upen Patel also did a cameo and was looking very good.
Himesh Reshammiya looked versatile in this movie and successfully experimented different styles of music which was appreciated by the audience. Himesh Reshammiya has matured as a music director since 1998 making his debut with “Pyaar Kiya to Darna Kya”. Sunidhi Chauhan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Alisha Chinai, well known US based DJ RBD and Himesh himself did a fantastic job in rendering the songs. Movie did average of $15 million in the box office worldwide which is something.
Final Thoughts
Namastey London has all the ingredients to be a highly entertaining movie with a touch of patriotism. Katrina Kaif looked beautiful and she ha done justice to her role. This is very close to her real life as she joined Bollywood after coming from London. In his second movie Vipul shah has shown signs of a good director. Rishi kapoor played a mature role as Jazz’s father and looked good.
Rating
Namastey London scores 7 out of 10 because of solid performance by all the cast especially Akshay Kumar. Namstey London failed to attract large audiences which could be because of a weak storyline but a good one time watch movie.
