 There is a lingering moment towards
the end of this unvarnished look at life, way beyond the poverty line,
when the village strewn with vehicles, equipments and over-curious
mediapersons is suddenly emptied out. What we are left to look at is a
village, a family, a life and a situation on the same threshold of pain,
humiliation, hunger, and poverty, where the whole rigmarole had
started. The silence between that moment of excruciating emptying-out and
embracing that emptiness is so palpable that we the audience cannot
miss its significance.

 Boy hates mushy love stories, doesn’t
believe in love and all those things that come along with it whereas the
girl is a big believer in romance and is living her own perfect love
story with a childhood pal. Boy meets this girl and don’t get along but
eventually love strikes! First for the girl but the boy rejects it
explaining that he only thought of her as a friend. Soon love strikes
him too but by then it is too late. He tries to woo her back and ends up
doing all those mushy things that he hated in the first place. Punit
Malhotra’s debut directorial venture, I Hate Luv Storys works well when
it tries to poke fun at these elements but eventually falls in the same
clichéd trap when it comes to delivering as a film.

 It is said that the epic saga of
Mahabharata contains all the stories that exist in this world, be it
lies, deceit, lust for power, revenge. In short all those that can make a
solid impact. Prakash Jha taking a cue from this has set his big
canvass film Rajneeti against an Indian political backdrop. But then at
the same time he has merged dollops of The Godfatherwithin it.
Nonetheless, the end product makes a compelling watch.
