StyleSk8r 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.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

rahuljonathan-nair The first hour of GORI TERE PYAAR MEIN! may give an impression that Punit Malhotra is back on familiar grounds urban setting, wittiness and styling. Punit does an about-turn in the second half. The writing has its highs and lows in this hour; it's absorbing at times, but not making much of an impact intermittently. However, there's no denying that the noteworthy moments outweigh the blemishes. You exit the auditorium with a feel-good sentiment and a smile on your face. On the whole, GORI TERE PYAAR MEIN! is a charming and refreshing coming of age film plus rom-com rolled into those 2.25 hours. The film maintains the right balance between amusement, hilarity and engaging moments. Recommended!

Arup Ghose As soon as I saw the casting of this film, it immediately reminded me of Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu which I didn't like whatsoever, and unfortunately even though Gori Tere is better, it is not that far better. Kareena is a seasoned actress and should seriously consider some more tasking roles. She plays the role of Dia with ease, but her character is just becoming too common and predictable. Imran Khan is getting better and better with every film, and here he delivers a solid performance with some good comic timing, and decent romance with Kareena however he still lacks true hero material! Like, you can't put him in the same comparisons as Ranbir and Ranveer anymore. Shradha Kapoor is pleasant and is very likable in her role. It's great to see Anupam Kher in a negative role after so long and as always, the legend delivers a perfect performance. Overall Gori Tere is just average and nothing more. It lacks real content, and the story is way too predictable. The music is good, which does help the films cause however is not enough to save a sub standard film. My rating of 5 is more towards the acting performances than the script.

sal_maan12 Does Kareena have some kind of sadistic pleasure by torturing her fans? Or can't she just handle the happiness of her fans from last year and thinks it's absolutely imperative to consistently follow-up a great year, with a terrible one? First Satyagraha pakao film, and now Gori Tere Pyaar Mein. Another terribly PAKAO film. No, I didn't have great expectations from this film (it was Punit Malhotra directing it... I mean seriously??) but the promos were rather enjoyable and the stars really did manage to sell their product and entice the audience. Add to that that it's a Dharma Production (Karan Johar makes sure to associate himself with entertaining cinema) and that it was coming off the supremely likable (and one of my absolutely favourites) hit from last year year, with the same jodi and same production house.... I did expect to have a good time. And that's exactly what the stars promised - a clean, feel-good, full-on paisa vasool light entertainer. Well, they all fooled us.Gori Tere Pyaar Mein has been made with honest intentions, but I could care less how noble they felt while making this. I paid 8 euros and I expect to enjoy myself, not roll my eyes until they got stuck up there. This film was reminiscent of those 90s films.... and fair enough, if you want to revisit the past and pay a homage to the (good)-old style of film-making, but for God sake, package it differently!!! This was old wine.... in an old bottle. Even Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani was like a renewed version of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, but everyone loved it.... because it was refreshing. It offered something new. The direction was different, and offered a new perspective. Gori Tere Pyaar Mein fails on many levels, despite a young director, because it lacks punch. The film is devoid of anything that would make you sit up and be interested in the proceedings. And I entirely blame the director and writers here. How could they come up with such a regressive script?? And didn't they have any sort of inclination that things were getting..... really bad.... in the second half?? The whole Bridge nonsense had me fuming :fume: .... to such an extent that I wanted to leave.I just didn't enjoy the film, overall. There were a few good moments. Some really funny sceness/diaogues... and the middle portion of the film, right from when Imran ''sells'' himself (hilarious) to the wedding fiasco (brilliantly executed) to the second half, with the initial village scenes, was good stuff. But the film goes downhill there-onwards and completely crashes. The songs are nice and peppy, but the film doesn't do justice to them. Chingum Chabake pops up randomly, and it's a shame because it's such a good track. I hated Naina, because it was all about the damn bridge. Dhat Teri Ki is Imran's introduction and sets the mood for a fun, zany film (which it was not). Tooh was OK. It got boring. Moto Ghotalo was funny... while Dil Duffer was pointless.Punit Malhotra isn't made to be a director. Period. I'm baffled as to how some reviewers could even say that he's a solid competitor for Ayan Mukerji.... say whaaaaaaaat?? I wasn't much of a fan of I Hate Luv Storys, but that film was overall very watchable, and in my opinion, better than Gori Tere Pyaar Mein (and this says a lot). I know that Karan likes to give complete freedom to his directors, but he really should have stepped in for this one. What a terrible mess he could have avoided.Imran Khan - an actor who has slowly been proving his mettle - doesn't try too hard over here. He's decent and does shine in the sparse comic moments, but is wooden for most part. I have absolutely no clue what Kareena Kapoor Khan is doing in such a stupid film, with such a BLAH character? :hmm: Someone slap me, but she found this more interesting than Ram Leela? Ram Leela was no great shakes either, but that film had so much more to offer, in terms of everything!!! Kareena does well, but honestly, this role doesn't demand anything. Even a newcomer could have done this. After Satyagraha, this is another uninspired performance. I'm disappointed. Chemistry-wise, they look good together, but what a poor follow-up and HUGE let down after Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu.It's good to see Anupam Kher but again, I don't understand why he picked this film? Shradha Kapoor looks stunning and performs well.I've a headache thinking about this film. It was seriously a pakao film... the kind that you watch and mutter '''what rubbish''. I feel like I should stop watching films in the cinema.... This is the 4th time that I've seen a film in the theatre and either disliked it or felt it was below expectations* (Besharam, Krrish 3, Ram Leela*). It was really on the same level as the other regressive films of the year like Phata Poster Nikla Hero, Ramaiyya Vastavaiyya, Krrish 3.... At the box office, this is definitely going to bomb big time. I'd advise you to just wait for an online print. The Gori isn't worth it this time, not even for her tooh. Poor

sujath2807 Yes i saw the trailers and yet i went to this movie, i knew how the movie will be. It was a treat from my friend so i went anyway and my friends are big fans of Bollywood movies, Hence GORI TERE PYAAR MEIN.I am sorry to say this but Imran you don't have what it takes to be the leading man in the movie. I remember seeing your movie JAANEY TU YA JAANEY NA that movie was plain awesome and so far i remember you solely for that movie. When i see him on the screen acting i don't see him loosened up he always seem to be in his reservation, i never saw him loosing himself in the character. He seems uncomfortable and tight just like his dancing, i really don't care for the actors who don't know dancing but they should be able to act. I don't believe a word of it when media says that imran is very closely mentored by amir, if he is mentoring him then he must be conspiring his Bollywood exit. Jaane tu ya jaane na was a romantic comedy and it clicked and imran very smartly did not want to associate himself with one genre of movie and moved on to do serious and different roles which he failed at, whether its bad luck or he is not talented enough. Eventually he came back to doing Romantic comedies and after his back to back flops he has delivered yet again a flop movie and i feel its time that imran accept and move on from his acting career. Its unfair to see him getting offers with big banners and opposite big heroines in spite of delivering back to back flops, everyday talent is exploding with new comers entry into Bollywood if only producers give them a chance rather than casting actors upon influence. Sorry about my Ranting for Imran, now coming to the movie. Film started on a good note but lost its track in the second half, the concept was fresh but the story was about a boy and girl from different communities and their disapproving families(Nothing new here) in spite of Imran's average acting i liked the first half of the movie as it was paced. But right after the intermission it just went down and down, director and writers just realized in the middle of the movie that they can deliver a social message on a much bigger subject rather than a romance story and then they just turned the movie in to completely different direction and forced us to watch a much much dramatic second half. I was embarrassed to sit in the theater to watch such level of drama, the scenes were so melodramatic i felt pity for the actors that they had to go through that . I felt if you wanted to make such a movie why not make two different movies each dealing with individual topics rather than confusing and boring the audience and making them pray for the movie to end. I am sure when they sat down to write the story they might have though to themselves that they found the love story of this year but it wasn't it. the directors vision just did not reflect in the movie. Kareena is drop dead gorgeous in this movie and she is a marvelous actress but sad to see her doing such a movie that to with an amateur Imran, this is the story of actresses in Bollywood. Talented actress have no choice but to work opposite young and talent less actors. actors such as the kings, badshaahs of the Bollywood will only work opposite young and fresh faces (Disgusting). I give this movie 4 stars solely for kareena and for the first half of the movie. The music of the movie is forgetful and i was not blown away with the cinematography or anything. Humor is very dull and i don't even remember supporting cast's performance. I will not stop you from watching this movie, do watch it if you like too much of drama.
