Gori Tere Pyaar Mein: from the genre called Karan Johar

As the film hits theatres on Friday, here’s what you can expect from this Kareena Kapoor, Imran Khan-starrer movie.

Storyline: Young, urban, party-loving boy (Imran Khan) meets hyperactive social worker girl (Kareena Kapoor).



Cupid strikes. But then girl leaves the city, her life and the boy to get a bridge constructed in some obscure village. He, of course, follows her to the village and lives out the traditional boy-wins-girl-over-while-discovering-his-inner-Prakash-Jha love story.



Director: Punit Malhotra



Cast: Imran Khan, and Kareena Kapoor



Writers: Arshad Syed and

This is Punit’s second innings as a writer after his debut directorial. Arshad has been credited as the writer on projects such as Shaadi Ke Side Effects (dialogue; screenplay for the yet-to-release film), Hum Tum Aur Ghost (2010) and Chalo Dilli (2011).



Music: Vishal-Shekhar

By including songs like ‘Chingam chabake’, ‘Dhat teri ki’ and ‘Tooh’, the makers have already reserved their spot on party and sangeet playlists. Although some reviews have talked about this trend of making party songs, others have called them "rather insipid".

Controversies/stunts: Karan Johar’s productions rarely make headlines for controversies. And this one is no different. However, some baseless rumours about Saif Ali Khan being the primary choice for the did do the rounds before being quashed.



Marketing/hype: Imran and Kareena have been touring the country promoting their movie. Director Punit has maintained a low profile.
