Review GTPM. somehow the movie is missing the Hype Surrounding KARAN JOHAR movies. Kareena and Imran team up after the Average grosser EK MAIN AUR EKK TU. Although the pairing won its share of bouquets and brickbats in their first film together, what really draws your attention to GORI TERE PYAAR MEIN! is the fact that its promos promised a blend of urban and rural . Sriram [Imran Khan] doesnt value relationships, family or friends. At some point, Sriram begins to narrate the story of the crazy relationship he shared with Dia [Kareena Kapoor Khan]. His ex-girlfriend. A firebrand social activist who wanted to change the world. An attraction which was physical initially, but then got emotional and finally veered into complex territories, resulting in a clash of ideologies and mindsets, which drove them apart. However, Sriram realizes that he is not over Dia and still loves her. But Dia has moved on and is now in a village in Gujarat called Jhumli. Sriram lands up in Jhumli to take his love back, but Dia refuses to return with him. Will Sriram be able to win back his love? Will he be able to bring about the change in Jhumli as well as in himself? Two strangers meet. Fall in love. Part ways. Guy realizes shes the one he wants to spend the rest of his life. He follows her to the heartland to woo her back... Although the premise of GORI TERE PYAAR MEIN! may bring back memories of MAINE PYAR KIYA, DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE, PYAAR KIYA TO DARNA KYA and the recent RAMAIYA VASTAVAIYA, the fact is theres no disciplinarian/strict father or an authoritarian/controlling brother to win over, to start with. As a matter of fact, Punit Malhotra ensures he doesnt borrow from the first two iconic films at all. GORI TERE PYAAR MEIN! is more of a coming of age movie with a focus on contemporary relationships and interactions. The first hour of GORI TERE PYAAR MEIN! may give an impression that Punit Malhotra is back on familiar grounds [I HATE LUV STORYS, his directorial debut]: urban setting, wittiness and styling. But the movie wins you over as Imran starts narrating episodes involving Kareena and him. The film gathers momentum with every episode and youre bowled by the simplistic charm the movie possesses at the close of first half [screenplay: Arshad Syed, Punit Malhotra]. The interactions between Imran and Shraddha are wonderful, while the marriage sequence is brilliant. Punit does an about-turn in the second half, venturing into an Diffrent zone The writing has its highs and lows in this hour; its good at times, but not making much of an impact Dramatically You exit the auditorium with a feel-good sentiment and a smile on your face. Punit Malhotra has matured in his second outing after I hate love storyand the growth as a storyteller is obvious in a number of dramatic moments. His handling of relationships gives this film the essential edge. the soundtrack [Vishal-Shekhar] of GORI TERE PYAAR MEIN! is equally appealing. Tooh, Chingam and the party track at the very outset are already popular with Youngsters & picturisation is CHARMING Cinematography [Mahesh Limaye] is superb. The background score by Salim-Sulaiman is good Kareena Kapoor Khan is eye-catching in her appearance and aptitude, both. Theres this misapprehension that her character in GORI TERE PYAAR MEIN! is similar to the one she portrayed in JAB WE MET. Nope, not true! Shes sorted, strong-headed, extremely focused here, unlike the impulsive character she portrayed in that film. The similarity lies in the fact that Kareena gets ample opportunity to dazzle and leave a mark in the dramatic moments and she delivers a feisty performance indeed. Imran Khan springs a big, big surprise in this one. He is absolutely endearing in a role that appears intricate, to start with. His growth from a carefree youngster to a conscientious man, from a confused lad to a confident guy wins you over. Hes charming all through! Shraddha Kapoor appears in an extended cameo. She is simply adorable. Anupam Kher is top notch in a role that has negative shades. Amongst the supporting cast, Sujata Kumar-Nizhalgal Ravi [as Imrans parents] and Manoj Bakshi-Neelu Kohli [as Kareenas parents] are wonderful. Vineet Kumar, in a brief role, is alright. Esha Gupta appears in a song. On the whole, GORI TERE PYAAR MEIN! is a Good entertainer but weak initial response & Strong opp by SSTG & RAM LEELA will harm it overall Collections we give it 3 stars out of 5.
