Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon

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! :)

Well to start everyone in this had overacted. It is very much of a crap movie and the actors are just so lame. Hritik being the hero, "loser" hero more likely and Kareena Kapoor as usual about her performance thinking that no one can act "better" then she can(still very bitchie in this this one). anyway all i want to say is that Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon is crap, crap and mega crap i can't even believe that why do directors waste so much money in making these worthless crap romantic movie's which don't even have much of a romance.

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.

one of the wonderfully made bollywood flick which has shown the modern aspect of marriage in India, good production values, great performances though people might say that hrithik's character is bit loud but that's how his character was written and i have seen many guys like that, so his character really appealed to me and i am sure there are millions of blokes of his type who are zealous and go overboard, film's 2nd half is even better and abhishek takes this movie to one step forward, his expressions are really cool. to understand this movie u really have to understand these three characters, than i am sure u will love it because this movie is full of emotions and energy.
