In the midst of the action and crime thrillers dominating Bollywood, a refreshing love story is set to return to the big screen. The makers of Ajab Gajab Ishq recently unveiled the film’s poster at an event in Mumbai, attended by well-known actor Mahesh Thakur, known for his roles in films like Hum Saath Saath Hain. With a blend of romance and comedy, this film introduces fresh faces and promises an engaging storyline full of unexpected twists.
Set to be filmed in the vibrant city of Indore, Ajab Gajab Ishq takes a traditional love story and infuses it with a unique twist. According to the team, this film goes beyond the usual romantic comedy tropes, delivering a layered narrative with elements of suspense and surprise. The story revolves around two characters caught in a strange and humorous living arrangement that leads to an unexpected romance.
Directed and written by Dhananjay Kumar Singh under the banner of Adhishri Films, Ajab Gajab Ishq centers on a property dispute with a quirky twist. A fraudulent builder named Chawla sells the same apartment to two individuals—Rajveer Verma and Archie Sharma.
With court orders permitting both to reside in the flat until the ownership dispute is resolved, the two reluctant roommates initially clash but eventually fall for each other. However, as Rajveer dreams of a future with Archie, he uncovers a shocking truth: she may not be who she seems. This revelation sets off a chain of emotional and thrilling events, leaving audiences wondering if Rajveer’s love will withstand the tests of deception.
Mahesh Thakur, a seasoned actor in both film and television, portrays Archie’s father, bringing depth to the family dynamics. Thakur expressed admiration for Dhananjay Kumar Singh’s direction and believes the film will capture audiences with its strong storyline and relatable emotions.
Leading the cast is Param Singh as Rajveer, whose Silicon Valley background clashes with the chaos of his unexpected love life in India. Singh, who has been acting for over a decade, sees this role as a significant step in his career, marking his debut in films after six television shows. Alongside him, Ishaan Shankar, known for his roles in Machine and Navras Katha Collage, plays an intriguing character, adding further complexity to the story.
Producer Gagan Verma, who previously worked in the medical field, is now making a mark in Bollywood driven by his passion for cinema, music, and storytelling. He views Ajab Gajab Ishq not just as a love story but as a narrative inspired by real-life incidents of fraud in the real estate industry. “The story is the real hero,” Verma said, emphasizing that the film’s charm lies in its colorful, relatable, and sometimes sobering depiction of love in unexpected circumstances. The vibrant poster of the film reflects this vision, promising a film rich in emotional and visual hues.
Ajab Gajab Ishq will begin filming in Indore on November 23, and the movie promises a journey filled with romance, humor, and unexpected revelations. Fans of romantic comedies with a twist will want to keep an eye on this one as it makes its way to the big screen.
