When Ranbir and Katrina spilled their magic for the first time with ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’

There is a famous saying, which goes something like, comedy is a serious business, and it indeed is. Nothing is harder than making the audience laugh. Fewer still, are the movies that manage to make one howl with laughter, even after a certain over the top edge to its comedy. Among such entertainers, in the year 2009 came a film that went on to create magic on big screen for various reasons especially for the beautiful onscreen chemistry shared between the lead pair in it. No points for guessing, it was Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’. And it was today on November 6, that this entertaining film had hit the screens witnessing this jodi for the first time together.

With this film, Ranbir Kapoor once again proved that acting is in his blood. The actor was a revelation and delivered yet another show-stealing performance with his lovable character of Prem. It wouldn’t be wrong in saying that it was a character that everyone ended up falling in love with. Katrina Kaif’s performance as Jenny also showcased her versatility as she perfectly managed to perform both comic and intense scenes. (Also Check: WATCH: Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are spotted at airport, but separately)

There’s no doubt that ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ is still remembered for its melodious songs composed by Pritam that added more to the beauty of the magical chemistry shared between Ranbir and Katrina. Be it ‘Tera Hone Laga Hoon’, ‘Tu Jaane Na’ or ‘Aa Jao Meri Tamanna’, every moment was priceless for us and their fans out there. If we talk about comic scenes, one of the most highlighting sequences in the film is when superstar Salman Khan makes a terrific cameo appearance as himself.

After this film, Ranbir and Katrina continued to share screen space in films like ‘Raajneeti’ and ‘Jagga Jasoos’ that indeed delighted their fans and admirers. But, certainly these films couldn’t exceed or create the same magic seen in ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’. Ranbir and Katrina’s relationship was at its peak during the shoot of the movie, and perhaps that’s what brought about the magic on our screens as well.

Whether they team up again or not, we will forever remember this quirky ‘prem kahani’ of Prem and Jenny, and this day will be a reminder of that.
