Main prem ki diwani hoon - Ich sehne mich nach deiner Liebe

sooraj barjatya tries self consciously to get oh so hip in his new flick. the effort falls flat on his face. in creating hritik roshans prem, he has creasted the most annoying, loud , irritating and obnoxious character on screen this year.. hritik if u r reading this , please stop accepting trash like this? whatever hapenned to movies like fiza and mission kashmir?kareena was ok but getting one dimensional in roles like this,also, sooraj please get a clue!! how about not plagiarising old hindi films ( like chitchor),, only saving grace was the music . altho even here,the director went overboard with 5 songs too many. in conclusion, please watch this movie at your own risk!

Sooraj the young whiz-kid came with a big bang with Maine Pyaar Kiya followed by biggest blockbuster Hum Aapke Hain Koun. Subsequently keeping the tradition of Rajshree Film came up with multi-starrer Hum Saath-Saath Hain. When the latter didn't fare well at the box-office, Sooraj decided to catch up with times and make a contemporary movie of today, doing away with strong values the Rajshris used to uphold upon. In the process a major overhaul was done - for instance Anu Mallik steps into the shoes of Raam-Laxman and foreign locales chosen to film major portions of the movie in the garb of some Indian village.

The story itself is a re-hash of Rajshri's Chit-Chor with the latest ingredients and new masala's added.

How-ever the movie sticks to Sooraj's movie length of over 3 hours and makes you wince in pain. The story is so very predictable from the word go.

Valentine sequence was a big drag. Comedy sequences didn't evoke enough mirth. The animated bird was almost anything but stupid.

Kareena was doing extension of Poo's character. Hritik tried to give his best to live to the character of energetic blabbering guy. Abhishek gave a restrained performance which was good in comparison to others. A few songs were okay.

Sooraj needs to re-think as to where he has faltered big time. Avoid at all costs even if you are a big fan of Rajshri movies, Hritik, Kareena or Abhishek.

I just wanted to set the record straight once and for all!This movie was shot almost entirely on location in the South Island of New Zealand.I saw someone commenting on this page that "Sundarnagar" (which is where this film is supposedly based)looked a lot like Switzerland! Plus many people have wondered aloud about the "coordinates" of "Sundernagar? Well it's actually New Zealand! :)

The bulk of the movie was shot in Christchurch.(I know this because a few of my friends who were living there at the time, saw some of it being shot).Even if they had not seen it, one look at it, and anyone from this part of the world would recognize it as Christchurch.

From the scenery I know that most of the "action adventure" stuff,which was "jet-boating, bungee jumping, sky diving, and white water rafting", where ALL shot in Queenstown, which is considered the "Adventure Capital" of the Southern Hemisphere.(I have actually been on "Shotover Jets" which were the jet-boats that they hired for this film.)

That's some "Location" trivia for anyone who cares to know!

Moving on to the film, the most disappointing performance from Hrithik Roshan to date. I don't think he has done anything this bad before or since. WHAT was he ON when he did this film? The overacting is taken to such absurd lengths. Kareena as Sanjaana is over-acting as well.The role was played rather "one dimensionally". But she is not entirely bad. The best acting in this movie is by Abhishek Bachchan who plays the "introvereted Prem" to Hrithik's "Extrovert".The supporting cast was adequate, but nothing too special. I liked Pankaj Kapur's rendition of the "long suffering Dad".

The music was actually quite good. Few songs too many. Many of the video's have Hrithik Roshan SANS shirt, prancing around,(I swear sometime he just looked plain "Gay")! and Kareena Kapoor wearing her signature "strappy top and tight pants"!The best song was "Bani Bani" accompanied by a nice dance from Kareena.I also liked the songs "Aur Mohabat Hain", and "Kasam Ki Kasam".

From a director like Suraj Barjatiya, this is a HUGE disappointment. The story could have worked with a better script, and a more tight reign on the performances. But that didn't happen! Too bad!

The best thing about this movie was the "scenery", but then I would say that. After all, I AM a New-Zealander! :)

My gosh! Do they still make this crap? I can't believe these are the same makers of "Hum Aapke Hain Koun". And to think this was 2003's most awaited film? Glad "Koi Mil Gaya" is taking that position?

Basically, Sanjana (Kareena) is to get married to Prem (Abhishek), but instead, his employee and close friend Prem Kishen (Hrithik), comes instead. Sanjana's father (Pankaj) and mother (Himani) approve of him, but one night they find out he's a fraud, Sanjana's mother no longer approves of him. He goes back to USA, and it's fights between Sanjana and her mother. Then the real Prem comes, and the two hit it off real well. Except, Sanjana doesn't know he's there to marry her. What is she to do? WHAT THE HELL ELSE WILL SHE DO? Come on, "I will love him to the end of time!"...Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon??? Of course it's Hrithik!

This film is garbage. This is where Bollywood faulters: the audience chooses quantity over quality, and would rather watch an entertaining film, than a great film! In May, a horrible film "Ishq Vishk" started a wave of successes. These films include: "Andaaz", "Bhoot", "Chalte Chalte", "Qayamat", "Hungama", and of course, "Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon" - ALL HORRIBLE FILMS!

Hrithik Roshan needs the award for "MOST OVERACTING IN A FILM". His character is so irritating, that you'd pay Sanjana to kill him! Hrithik's loud, childish, immature, stupid, sickening, insulting performance will surely go down as another embarrassment to the Hindi film industry, just like many of Salman Khan's roles.(Hello Brother, Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Kahin Pyar Na Ho Jaaye)

Kareena is okay. I don't want to say much. Abhishek is the best performer of the film, alongside Sanjana's parents.

"Bani Bani" is the only song with good picturisation. The rest are all stupid. To make matters worse, the film has an animated talking parrot that names famous Hindi films, and pops up out of nowhere. There is also a dog that gets a cartoon face when he gets mad. Sounds stupid yet?

Don't see Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon. Please!

Please save mankind from these feel good movies. Isnt there a law against torture in the name of movie making? I understand that a commercial hindi movie must be taken with a pinch of salt but then isnt asking the viewer to actually swallow a barrel full asking for too much?

The movie starts with Prem (Hrithik Roshan) coming to "SunderNagar" where Kareena Kapoor stays with her parents. This Sundernagar is supposed to be some remote place in India but has a striking resemblance to Switzerland. There are lakes, snow capped mountains and Honda Cars. The Honda Cars are innocently number plated with a UP number plate. You can go water rafting, bungee jumping (From a chopper to boot) and deep sea diving here. The "village" railway station can put any in Europe to shame. God, please make me a villager in this village called Sundernagar. There are no problems whatsoever in this Paradise.

Kareena lives in a palace (which her father refers to as a "chota" ghar) with a computer generated parrot which reels off Hindi movie names. The director challenges the intellect of the viewer with asking us to believe this. There is a misunderstanding with everyone assuming that Hrithik is the owner of the estate. Kareena falls for him (Whoa isnt that a twist in the tale!) and a couple of meaning less songs later, Abhishek Bachchan appears as the real owner. The movie then drags on with sacrifices and a predictable end. Hrithik attempts to be this enthusiastic person with a zeal for life. He ends up overacting. Kareena is her usual loud self. Abhishek, thanks to the role comes out slightly better than the others.

I appeal to the government to bring out a law against making such utter crap.
