She has a strong disapproval for the affluent, viewing them as people who manipulate their wealth to indulge in unnecessary extravagance.

Upon their chance encounter, Rajveer instantly falls for Madhuri's charm and simplicity. However, knowing she dislikes the rich, he feels restrained to reveal his true identity. Instead, he pretends to be poor, leading to a series of comical situations as he struggles to maintain his pretense. In the process, his entire family, including his parents, played by Darshan Jariwala and Kirron Kher, must join in the farce, switching their opulent lifestyle for a simpler one.

Just when things seem to be falling into place, enters Arjun Rampal in a dual role as brothers Karan and Arjun. His engaging performance adds another layer to the narrative, introducing more twists in the tale.

Thus, 'Ajab Gazabb Love' sets the stage for a slew of hilarious situations as this rich brat and his extravagant family go to bizarre lengths to conceal their true identities, leading to all sorts of misunderstandings, histrionics and most importantly, laughter.

The screenplay is well-crafted, capturing the spectrum of emotions that the characters undergo through their journey, and presenting it in an engaging and entertaining manner.

One of the distinctive aspects of the film is its music, composed by Sajid-Wajid, with catchy tunes and upbeat songs that add to the overall enjoyment of the film. The cinematography successfully captures the grandeur of the Grewal’s affluent lifestyle and the modest simplicity of Madhuri’s world, creating a visual contrast that further emphasizes the theme of the movie.
