Despite all the foreign locations glitter, this plays out like a flat, meandering TV comedy. What is the 'ajab', and where's the 'gazabb'?

What 12 critics are saying
Critical consensus on Ajab Gazabb Love is largely negative, with most reviewers finding it a formulaic, clichéd rom-com that fails to deliver on either romance or comedy. The film's reliance on a dated mistaken-identity premise and a weak script drew the most consistent criticism, with several critics noting it adds nothing novel to the genre. A handful of reviewers found it mildly passable as light, undemanding entertainment, and the musical score received a brief mention of praise. Kirron Kher's comedic performance was the only specific element singled out for genuine appreciation.

6.0On the whole, AJAB GAZABB LOVE is a decent entertainer with a lilting musical score. This one's for the youth primarily and also for those who get amused by zany entertainers.

5.0This film is all about a bunch of people going bananas, yet, it doesn't leave you in splits. But if you care for a few giggles, go watch it.

4.0Gadhvi's attempt to please the family crowd doesn't shine in the manner the audience and he would have hoped. The script doesn't have anything too novel to offer and in addition to that the screenplay and lead pair aren't as impressive as they ought to be when you're trying to impress audiences with a film based essentially on a love story. Film trends are such that releases that can be enjoyed by the entire family are scarce and AGL may just be able to cash in on this scarcity. Don't walk in with expectations of path breaking or flawless cinema and you may just not be too disappointed.

4.0So it all boils down to the final word. Do you watch it or not? Of course you do. Just make sure silliness in films doesn't offend you. If you like parodies and light-hearted romances Ajab Gazabb Love has all the trappings to make you feel happy.

4.0Ajab Gazabb Love is an extremely dated film, one that requires the complete suspension of logic, disbelief and high standards of humour. Now all you need to do is ask yourself: Is this what you go to the movies for?

4.0There is nothing 'ajab' or 'gazabb' about this extremely ordinary rom-com. If you go in for the film with expectations, you might be disappointed. But if you go in with nothing in head, you would have a smile at the end of it all, if not be baffled by the performances. Plus Kirron Kher's rock solid funny act deserves a watch!

4.0Films where the hero assumes another identity to win over the girl, and that uphold traditional family values, are part of the contrived clichés club and no longer relevant.

3.0For a rom-com, Ajab Gazabb Love fails to entertain in either romance or comedy. You can safely skip this one unless you really have the money and time to spare on a two-hour-long movie that entertains for a few minutes.

3.0If you are having a boring weekend with nothing better to do and if 'Ajab Gazabb Love' is your only option, then only go for it.

2.0'Ajab Gazabb Love' is just a one-time watch. There's nothing that's out of the ordinary or utterly striking about either the acting or the direction or the storyline. But if you're looking for some genuine laughs and many more forced ones, go watch 'Ajab Gazabb Love'.
