Rom-com that aint romantic nor does it entertain.
There's a tamil guy, Sriram (Imran Khan) who takes time to realize that he can't let Dia (Kareena Kapoor) slip away whom he loves. Somewhat similar to I Hate Luv Storys, that part. Vasudha (Shraddha Kapoor) helps him realize that he still loves Dia, or perhaps only loved her. Problem though for us the viewers is, we never see that love towards her except maybe Dil Duffer track. Only thing we see is the differences he and Dia have towards each other.
The whole 1st half goes in Sriram-Vasudha marriage track, while the flashbacks is used to establish how Sriram-Dia met and why they split up. I loved the 1st sequence where Sriram prefers non-veg over veg and Dia forces him to adopt crab. Or when Dia lectures him to be part of system or not complain. Some good funny moments are created also with Sriram and his dad not on same level of communication.
But, 2nd half where Sriram goes to a village to get Dia back, takes the film to a very low. There's over the top dialogues, acting, songs and to certain extent silly drama created. Not to forget, we are never properly invested into the love of the pair, plus I felt showing the differences first and how they met with love developing later, didn't help either.
Chingam Chabake and Tooh are very well choregraphed, though the former song is poorly forced into the narrative. Dil Duffer is the best track, and has some well shot romantic scenes.
Performances wise, Kareena Kapoor is good, though in the socialist and village parts she came out more as a character trying to preach. Imran Khan was actually likeable, he does over-act in some parts but still not a bad performance at all.
Vineet Singh is decent in small cameo. Anupam Kher is good. Shraddha Kapoor looks very glamarous, and enacts her supporting part very well. Esha Gupta looks sizzling in the item song.
Gori Tere Pyaar Mein has nothing new to offer, a rom-com that works in bits and pieces. It aint romantic enough, nor does it entertain fully.
Verdict : BELOW AVERAGE
