Despite all the noise and hoopla, the Imran Khan-Sonam Kapoor crap movie I Hate Luv Storys is NOT setting the box office on fire.
Here’s how the mediocre shit fared in the second weekend at the U.S. box office compared to a few prominent Bollywood movies:
Surprise, surprise.
Who’d have thought this crappy Bollywood movie would have grossed £202,907 in the opening weekend.
Sure looks like whatever desis drink in the UK it certainly is not H2O.

I Hate Luv Storys is Boring Shit, Say Critics
Imran Khan’s latest crap-show I Hate Luv Storys has not fared well at the U.S. box office.
For the six-day, July 4 holiday weekend (June 30, 2010-July 5, 2010), I Hate Luv Storys could manage a total gross of just $535,273.
Folks, before you start swooning over the film crossing the half-a-million-dollar mark remember that this number reflects a six-day holiday-weekend unlike a 3-day regular weekend for most movies in the below table.
The movie is yet another stupid Bollywood love story with not much in its favor.
As SearchIndia.com wrote in its review of this crap show:
I Hate Luv Storys hews to the time-honored tradition of hackneyed, jackass Bollywood tales.
Girl (Sonam Kapoor) with a perfect, steady boy-friend believes in Bollywood-style love and romance while the boy (Imran Khan) is adamant that this love thing is all balderdash.
Of course, in true Bollywood ishtyle the girl Simran soon falls in love with our all-love-is-nonsense boy J, who rebuffs her. Before you can say Yeh kya bakwas (what rubbish is this), the all-love-is-nonsense boy falls in love with the girl whose turn it is to spurn him.
All the while, Simran’s besotted boyfriend Raj (the talented Sameer Dattani) is waiting patiently in the background for his girl.
Of course, all’s well in the end for Simran and J (alas, not for the paying audience or for Raj).

I Hate Luv Storys Box Office – Mediocre Showing
(Kreacher: Posted via Windows Live Writer)
I Hate Luv Storys is a boring, cliched movie, according to a bunch of critics.
Featuring the two stars Sonam ‘Flop’ Kapoor and Imran ‘Flop’ Khan, the movie opened widely today in India (it opened in the U.S. on Wednesday).
Here’s what a sample of critics has to say on this piece of junk:
Reuters:
[Punit] Malhotra seems to take every single cliché you can think of and insert that into his film – while pretending that this is a different love story….Along the way, there are a lot of really inane dialogues….IHLS is ultimately a very ordinary and boring.
LiveMint:
To begin with, the story is wafer thin….Dialogues are shockingly bereft of wit, humour and realism….I couldn’t wait for it to end.
Times of India:
Thematically, I Hate Luv Storys, is extremely simplistic, uni-layered and terribly predictable.
Indian Express:
In the end, when Jay and Simran embrace, they give off a flavour of awkward sibling-ness, not a couple who would collapse if they were kept apart another living, breathing moment. And that’s the main problem of this predictable saga, by the newest director from Dharma Productions : the lead couple does not spark enough, making the peripheral characters scurry that much harder to keep it going.
Bollywood Trade News Network (cited in Wall Street Journal):
No prizes for guessing that the film is pretty much a collage of copious famous love stories of the 90s, which were appealing at that time but don’t have much worth now.

Mon dieu, when will these Bollywood mongrels put a lid on the garbage they keep shoving our way ceaselessly
Total garbage.
Yeah, what else can you call a movie with a limp, silly story that borrows from/spoofs old Hindi movies like DDLJ, Dil Chahta Hai, Kal Ho Na Ho, Hum Tum et al including the names of two principal DDLJ characters Raj and Simran and loses steam in just 20-minutes.
To employ a sexual metaphor, we’d describe I Hate Luv Storys as an instance of premature ejaculation.
Depressing, disgusting and, oh hell, frustrating, we tell ya.
Is there no relief at all for us from Karan Johar’s troupe of gibbering monkeys?
Poor Response
For the opening show of this trash at a theater on the East Coast, there were just three people.
Just three people for Dharma Productions’ I Hate Luv Storys.
Pitiful.

Stupid Story
Yes, we’ve said this a million times.
But we’ll say it one more time – Indian movie-makers just can’t get hold of a gripping story. Just beyond their pea-sized brains.
