I
Hate
Luv
Storys
has
released
and
opened
to
a
very
good
response
all
over.
This
also
means
that
Sonam
Kapoor
now
has
a
definite
hit
up
her
sleeves
more
than
two
years
after
making
her
debut
with
Saawariya
and
following
it
up
with
Delhi-6.
Now
that
this
Punit
Malhotra
directed
film
had
made
an
impact
amongst
the
youth,
one
can't
help
but
ask
Sonam
whether
IHLS
intended
to
break
the
cliche
of
conventional
love
stories?
“I
Hate
Luv
Storys
was
always
meant
to
be
a
simple
film
told
in
a
simple
way.
The
film
is
told
from
Imran"s
perspective
because
he
hates
the
way
love
stories,
as
seen
in
movies,
are
believed
to
be.
On
the
other
hand,
I
am
someone
who
is
just
the
opposite.
I
love
the
very
idea
of
love
stories.
It
is
the
matter
of
opposites
attracting
each
other," says
Sonam.
But
then
after
watching
the
film,
one
can
pretty
much
say
that
IHLS
doesn"t
quite
deviate
from
the
conventional
route
of
how
love
stories
are
being
looked
at.
“See,
IHLS
is
a
conventional
love
story
told
in
an
unconventional
fashion.
In
any
case,
there
are
just
six
stories
in
the
world.
So
it
all
depends
upon
how
a
'sutradhar"
can
express
it.
Here
the
'sutradhar"
is
Punit
(Malhotra)
and
he
has
looked
at
every
scene
in
a
different
way.
The
film
is
said
as
per
his
vision
and
in
a
simple
way,"
responds
Sonam.
One
can
also
see
that
this
Karan
Johar
film
has
got
quite
a
few
self
parody
elements
woven
into
the
narrative.
Threads
and
cliches
from
the
likes
of
Dilwale
Dulhaniya
Le
Jayenge,
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai
and
even
Dil
Chahta
Hai
are
being
picked.
Seems
like
there
was
a
lot
of
fun
at
the
expense
of
these
films!
“I
don't
think
it
would
be
right
to
call
I
Hate
Luv
Storys
as
a
self
parody
of
sorts,"
smiles
Sonam
adding,
“In
a
way
the
film
is
a
tribute
to
these
films.
Punit
has
been
an
assistant
to
Karan
on
films
like
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai
to
Kabhi
Alvida
Naa
Kehna.
He
too
understands
that
at
the
end
of
it
all,
there
is
love
which
prevails.
Things
do
work
out
eventually
and
all
you
have
to
do
is
believe
in
stories
like
these.
Kitna
bhi
hum
keh
lein
ki
we
are
living
in
a
modern
world,
filmy
love
stories
do
happen
to
us
all.
Also,
in
the
corner
of
the
heart,
each
of
us
does
hope
and
wish
for
that
to
happen."
