The Story:

I Hate Luv Storys is a romantic comedy starring Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor. Imran Khan plays Jay, an assistant director to the most famous romantic filmmaker in the Indian film industry. Jay lives by the principle I Hate Luv Storys yet has no choice but to encounter it on a daily basis. Despite his distaste for romance, Jay portrays a classic flirt in the film. "Imran plays a flirt or womanizer in my film. He's a 23-year-old boy who looks at, and flirts with every pretty girl that comes his way," director Punit Malhotra told reporters when asked about the movie.
Things get worse for Jay when his boss Veer, played by Samir Soni, assigns Jay to work with the new production designer on the film, Simran, played by Sonam Kapoor. Simran and Jay are total opposites. Simran loves 'luv storys' so much that her life seems to resemble one. She has the perfect job, the perfect boyfriend, and presumably the perfect life. Her meeting with Jay changes all that. Their on-set relationship begins to replicate that of the 'Luv Story' they are working on, forcing Simran to choose between her boyfriend and Jay. "Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor make a very fresh pair and look good with each other," producer Karan Johar told reporters.

What Worked:

Sonam Kapoor is quite charmer and her match-up with Imran Khan was great. The couple has chemistry and individually fulfilled their roles! Sonam truly makes a mark in this film which will hopefully  help her career flourish. There are a few fun scenes in the film and certain lines movie watchers will continue to repeat.

What Didn't:

The story is quite cliché. Going into watch this film we expected a cheesy love story with predictability to some point; of course we hoped for something new.

The Soundtrack:

Vishal and Shekhar have created a masterpiece with I Hate Luv Storys. The movie may be about young actors and their budding love stories, but the music is mature and has something for everybody! The music has great personality and vibes truly completing this film.

Slated or Rated:

Imran and Sonam are quite a treat in the film. They are young and fresh and truly have the potential of becoming B'Town's next on-screen couple. As the trailers show us a quirky love story, we got just that and nothing more. I Hate Luv Storys is a cute and simple movie; don't expect any twists or drama.

3/5 Stars
