If
Bollywood's
future
for
the
second
decade
of
the
millennium
is
to
be
gauged,
2010
is
just
the
right
year.
Ranbir
Kapoor,
Shahid
Kapoor,
Imran
Khan
and
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
are
said
to
be
the
future
of
Hindi
film
industry
and
each
of
the
actors
has
prestigious
films
lined
for
release
this
year.
Shahid
Kapoor
has
got
success
in
the
form
of
Badmaash
Company
while
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
is
gearing
up
for
Lafange
Parinde.
Meanwhile
Ranbir
Kapoor
has
seen
a
blockbuster
for
himself
in
the
form
of
Raajneeti.
Now
it's
the
turn
of
Imran
Khan
to
repeat
the
same
with
I
Hate
Luv
Storys
which
is
carrying
very
good
reports.
This
young
love
story
should
open
quite
well
at
the
box
office
(over
70%
at
the
very
least)
and
there
are
a
number
of
reasons
that
should
make
it
happen.
First
and
foremost
the
promotion
from
the
house
of
Karan
Johar
has
been
on
the
mark
from
the
word
'go" and
the
film
has
managed
to
catch
the
attention
of
its
target
audience
-
youth.
That's
strike
one!
Secondly
the
songs
by
Vishal-Shekhar
are
pretty
popular
which
has
helped
the
film
gain
an
audio-visual
appeal.
Imran
Khan
and
Sonam
Kapoor
are
a
new
couple
and
the
youth
is
willing
to
grab
them
with
both
hands.
Lastly,
and
very
importantly,
the
film
releases
a
full
month
after
Raajneeti.
For
the
entertainment
starved
audience,
I
Hate
Luv
Storys
is
just
the
right
film
to
make
them
head
to
theaters
all
over
again
and
catch
this
romantic
comedy.
What
also
makes
the
film
a
candidate
for
definite
success
is
the
price
at
which
it
has
been
sold.
An
economical
film,
especially
after
the
high
price
tag
that
Karan's
earlier
films
like
My
Name
Is
Khan
and
Kurbaan
came
with,
I
Hate
Luv
Storys
is
what
is
known
in
industry
parlance
as,
a
safe
film.
This
Punit
Malhotra
film
has
to
be
extremely
terrible
(which
one
believes
is
not
the
case)
to
find
rejection
from
the
audience.
In
fact
one
never
knows,
if
the
film
will
stick
with
the
audience,
it
could
well
be
Jaane
Tu
Ya
Jaane
Naa
revisited
for
Imran
especially
since
it
is
also
the
solo
release
of
the
week.
