★★★½ (3.5/5) – A perfect rainy-day, no-brainer, guilty-pleasure watch.
Prem (Ranbir Kapoor) is the happiest, most useless happy-go-lucky guy in Goa. He runs a failed “Happy Club” and spends his days getting beaten up while trying to help others fall in love. The problem? He’s secretly in love with Jenny (Katrina Kaif), a soft-spoken orphan who only sees him as a friend. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani Movie
When Jenny falls for a wealthy NRI, Prem selflessly decides to unite her with the "right" guy. Naturally, everything goes wrong—bride swappings, political corruption, goons with funny accents, and a climax involving a bull, a church, and a last-minute train sequence that would make even Bollywood blush. ★★★½ (3
