Watch Ajab Gazabb Love Trailer:
Pluses: Jackky delivers a confident performance, Arjun Rampal surprises, Darshan Jariwala & Kirron Kher are too good, couple of songs add to the proceedings

Watch it for neat and clean spicy comedy, a rarity in today's time
Detail Analysis:
Sanjay Ghadvi lost the plot with his last dismal outing "Kidnap" but director of "Dhoom" and "Dhoom 2" makes comeback sort with this flick. He delivers a complete entertainer devid of any vulgarity or double meaning!
There is never a time or a place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single throbbing moment.
That moment for the very rich, Rajveer Grewal (Jackky Bhagnani), an automobile modifier who has just completed his project - DC (Dream Car), occurs on the escalators of his office building where he sees the woman of his dreams.
Then starts his chase for Madhuri Singh (Niddhi Subbaiah), the girl who would be his mother, Rashmi Grewal's (Kirron Kher) - DB (Dream Bahu).
The premise of Ajab Gazabb Love pivots around DC and DB.
This love story takes a spin because Madhuri, a self-righteous girl who works for an NGO, proclaims that she hates rich people.
To win her, Rajveer in all his foolishness claims he is a poor guy and Madhuri falls for him hook-line-and-sinker.
But then Indian marriages involve entire family. So here starts the drama and series of comic events. The Grewals move from their posh bungalow to a squatter's colony to pretend to be poor.
To add drama to the poor family story, mom Rashmi Grewal is forced to be a blind person. Rajveer's brother poses as a drunkard, sister-in-law turns into a maid and his father Yashwardan Grewal (Dharshan Jariwala) becomes a banana vendor.
Ajab Gazabb Love has its hilarious moments but on the whole, the plot is on an even keel.
Kirron as usual is over-dramatic and loud. Arshad Warsi as the south Indian friend is good and effective. Arjun Rampal, in a double role as Karan and Arjun, older brothers of Madhuri is good.
Jackky with his six-pack abs makes a sincere effort in delivering what is required of him. Of course, he is endearing at times but those moments are few and far between.
Niddhi as the leading lady is just passable.
Sajid-Wajid's music is nothing to write home about, average and dismissible. The lyrics like, Lip Lock etc, are no poetry either. The songs seem to be forced upon the audience.
After Dhoom, Dhoom 2 and Kidnap, Ajab Gazabb Love just reinforces that director Sanjay Gadhvi is a slick and trendy. The ensemble of songs is ample evidence to the fact.
In terms of performance, Jackky Bhagnani again show promise and this should be his second consecutive hit after "F.A.L.T.U.". He looks good, his well toned body and innocent looks with decent acting performance makes him an ideal choice for the role. Niddhi Subbaiah in her first outing in Bollywood fails to impress. She looks good in few shots but overall she is strictly okay as her dialogue delivery leaves lot to be desired.
Arjun Rampal has one of the funniest roles of recent times and his portrayal of crazy twin brothers of female lead is hilarious. Arshad Warsi awesome in a brief role. But the scene stealer are Darshan Jariwala and Kirron Kher who are marvelous in the role of parents of Jaccky. Kirron Kher drives you crazy and Darshan performs one of the craziest moments with straight face.
Music is again a strong point of Vashu Bhagnani's film over the years. "Boom Boom" is chartbuster and "Tu" has that romantic melody to die for. Couple of punjabi tracks add to the proceedings. Camerawork is exemplary and editing is top notch.
The elements that don't work in Gadhvi's favour are that the songs are carelessly placed in the story, unrealistic approach of the premise of the story, treatment; and a clean-shaven Sardar. These were surely difficult to digest.
Overall film is a fresh, comic and crazy love story which is lifted by some genuinely audience should lap it and film should do decent business at box office, looks like another surprise at ticket windows.
If 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.
