everything you have heard about this movie is true.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Imran Khan is in a rut. Much like Rishi Kapoor during the late 70s and early 80s, the only kind of movies that he can get by with his limited acting skills are light hearted romantic flicks. He has not moved up an inch since his debut in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Pappu could not dance in that movie, but Imran is worse than Pappu- he cannot dance, or act, or even lip sync properly. He is not even good looking, and the only thing still getting him movies is probably his star kid status. For inspiration, he just needs to look at Ranbir Kapoor- similar star kid, started off at around the same time as himself but immensely more hardworking, with the balls to experiment, and the drive to excel.Sorry for digressing- this is not a post about Imran, but about his latest act in Gori Tere Pyaar Mein. Another time Imran does his Imran act- dress well, try to dance to hummable numbers, provide some comic relief and woo girls all without any change in facial or voice expression. Here he Sriram, is an Audi loving, shallow to the point of being non emphatic South Indian in love with his polar opposite played by who else but the perennially hyper ventilating Kareena Kapoor, again played herself, or Geet from Jab We Met. Yeah yeah, the age gap. No, Imran is not new competition to Saif, and the disclaimer is right when Kareena enters the story- that she is way older than him. The first half of the movie is about how their love story ended the first time round, while the second part of the movie is how Sriram wins her back again, in a Lagaan type setting, still not letting go of designer clothes and Wayfarers. And to think they would have had the second round of romance if a pet crab had not died. Go figure.In between there is a lot of drama around the building of a bridge, some nefarious polity, a couple of land deals and a couple of laughs, some catchy songs and loads of racism, and an ending that felt a long time due. This is a movie that is a new low for Dharma Productions, and makes you search hard for positives- maybe it was Anupam Kher's too little screen time, or a luminous special appearance by Shraddha Kapoor, or the fact this was 50% of the term "clean entertainer"- as in not entertaining, but at least not crude. Not even worth a DVD watch, and Imran- please take a break from acting. Just because you were a Khan does not mean this is your cup of tea- 4/10

And the film has two-two and a half clichéd points to make. You can only imagine how bad the movie and the cast performance are when the characters themselves are required to enlighten us about who the hero is. Terrible!Not accounting to Punit Malhotra's previous & future blunders, this film strikes few brownie points here and there. The best thing was to cast Shraddha Kapoor as Imran Khan's fiancée and boy, does she do good. Kareena Kapoor, as an aunt figure, is passable. The hero (a bad moniker) should stay away from Tinseltown.As to the story, it has nothing new to deliver. Just an hypocrite environmentalist who travels to make a point just because his ex pointed it out. Then the camera turns to how the good guy tries to woe his girl Friday in front of a village by bridging the gap with a pool bridge by fighting the corrupt state of affairs. Whoa! for the second part of the film, I just stared into the screen wondering why the hell did they make this movie? And when such an expression is born, you know what the verdict is. Poor attention to details, poor cinematography, poor editing.BOTTOM LINE: First part will make you laugh 3-4 times and for Shraddha Kapoor, I rate it 4.2/10. Songs make up 30 minutes and there is not a single reason why you should spend 300 bucks for this stupidity.Can be watched with a typical Indian family?

Movie is a love story of complete opposites.Gori tere Pyaar mein is about Sriram Venkat(Played by Imran Khan) is a young architect who doesn't value relationships. & Dia (Kareena Kapoor) is his complete opposite. She is a social activist who wants to build a carrer of her own. Like most romantic relationships, they fall in love, break-up and then fall in love again. The story itself is extremely predictable.however it works because of its vibrant energy.The make up & break up scenes are very well executed. Direction: Punit Malhotra has done a great job.He has improved a lot since his last movie.The movie has flaws but it is immensely watchable because of the directors gud work and Music. Star Performances: Imran khan impresses as Sriram.He acted really well in the romantic as well as the emotional scenes. Kareena Kapoor is a charmer.Her performance in this movie is treat to all. But the chemistry between Imran Khan & Kareena Kapoor is what adds life to the movie. Shraddha Kapoor& Anupam Kher are brilliant too. Music:Gori Tere Pyar mein has the best album of the year so far.Songs are brilliantly picturised and well placed. kudos to Vishal & ShekharIn the end Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is highly watchable. You can easily go and watch & enjoy with your family and friends. It is a complete family entertainer. Watch this feel-good movie to have good time. My ratings : 7/10

150 minutes is an overdose of substandard and goofy Hindi movie. The movie reminded me how long Mughal-E-Azam was! GTPM has few comic scenes here and there which will definitely tickle you but an epic 150 min long film is not at all worth watching. The character of Imraan Khan is similar to the one we saw in Ekk Mai Aur Ekk Tu. Kareena Kapoor had one of the serious roles in the film. The only acting I liked was the one Anupam Kher's. Truly, Anupam Kher is a monumental actor and defines the pride of Bollywood. Being a fanboy of Anupam Kher myself, I think that he was the driving force of GTPM. To sum it up, GTPM is not at all a fresh concept for a movie if you have watched movies like YJHD, EMAET etc. Only recommended if you dig Imraan Khan or Kareena Kapoor (or both). Anyways, one may find a lot of similar movies in the new channel "Romedy Now". Not that I am promoting it, but you will at least save 200 bucks!
