I Hate Luv Storys

I Hate Luv Storys is a 2010 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Punit Malhotra, in his directorial debut. It was jointly produced by Hiroo Yash Johar and Karan Johar under Dharma Productions, and Ronnie Screwvala under UTV Motion Pictures, marking the first collaboration between the two studios. The film stars Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor in lead roles. Set in modern-day Mumbai and Queenstown, New Zealand, the narrative follows Jay, an assistant director who disdains romantic films, and Simran, a romantic at heart, as they navigate contrasting ideologies about love and relationships.

The film's soundtrack was composed by Vishal–Shekhar, with lyrics by Anvita Dutt Guptan, Kumaar, and Vishal Dadlani. Principal photography took place in Mumbai and New Zealand. The film also featured a promotional mobile video game developed by UTV Indiagames.

Released theatrically on 2 July 2010, I Hate Luv Storys received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, who praised its concept, music, cinematography, humor, costumes, and the performances of Khan and Kapoor, though its screenplay and pacing received criticism. The film emerged as a commercial success, grossing ₹720 million (US$9 million) worldwide, ranking as the eighth highest-grossing Hindi film of the year.

At the 56th Filmfare Awards, the film received four nominations—Best Music Director (Vishal–Shekhar), Best Lyricist (Vishal Dadlani for "Bin Tere"), Best Male Playback Singer (Shafqat Amanat Ali for "Bin Tere"), and Best Female Playback Singer (Shreya Ghoshal for "Bahara").
