If only nepotism was subtler in Bollywood, this film wouldn’t have been such a pain. Produced by Vashu Bhagnani with the sole objective of re-launching his son, Ajab Gazabb Love delves more in creating a hero out of Jackky than anything else. To make matter worse, you’ll wonder whether Sachin Gadhvi actually directed the first two installations of Dhoom. Yes, this flick is that bad!

The film begins with a richie-rich guy who is obsessed with cars but eventually falls for a girl who is allergic to moneybags. And that’s when the fun ride kick-starts as the plot follows all the trouble he and his family undergo to keep her from knowing that they are indeed wealthy. While they are at it, the parameters that separate the haves from the have-not is initially ridiculed but eventually overcompensated with some preachy sub-plots. No wonder loopholes are bound to take birth under such circumstances. For instance, we never get to know the fate of his so-called dream car!
