Ranbir and Katrina rocks.........Never seena bollywood movie showing stammering in this way.At first I thought that only Ranbir is playing the role of a stammerer but then I came to know that Katrina is also a stammerer in the movie. APKGK is a story of Prem(Ranbir kapoor) and how he falls in love with the pretty Jenny (Katrina Kaif). And it's the story of how Prem goes from being unable to express his love for Jenny, to finally finding the words to tell her he loves her.
Prem is an unemployed school drop-out who, along with the fellow members of the Happy Club (of which he is President), spends his time conning the local uncles into joining (and coughing up the membership fee to keep the club afloat), mooching meals from his frustrated father, and occasionally arranging an "abduction" (like the one that opens the film) in order to unite couples in true love. It's in the course of one such "abduction" that he meets the pretty Jenny. They become fast friends when they realize they both are given to stammering when overcome with strong emotion. Prem falls in love with Jenny, wants to ask her to be his life partner - but in true filmi fashion, he waits too long to do so.
There is a scene when Katrnia slaps Ranbir, as she feels he is stammering to copy her. But later on she comes to know that he is also a stammerer.So from here the love story starts.
I think this is the first movie in which both the Actor and Actress are playing the role of a stammerer. It was great to see that 1st time in Bollywood history someone has introduced stammering in a positive way and not just for making it a source of fun and comedy for people. Before this shahid also played thr role of a stammerer in Kaminey. But Ranbir and Katrina were better than shahid .
So overall it is a Good movie and all the stammerers must watch this movie.

Good review..Have put a link at stammer.in..
There seem to be trend in society (yet quite small- but there)- to re-look at old issues in new light..
Great!
Now, we too, the stammerers, should march on with changing times lest we are caught napping..
Thatz true sir .....It is a movie for every stammerer . But I hope to see few more like these but this time showing the dark side of stammering.
Lets see what happens.
Nice review manpreet..... I was very much curious about this movie... And you have given a good overview....
But i agree with you... there should be a movie which looks to potray the stammering issue at the center-stage. In kaminay and APKGK, i feel stammering is just a sideline of the plot.. what say ??
Ya it is a kindaa of sideline of the plot but still they have shown it in a much better way as compared to the earlier movies in which they just introduced stammering as a source of fun.
I also want someone to make a movie showing the other side of stammering. The suffering and emotions. And who can be better than Hrithik to act in this movie.I told you about a movie "front of the class" in which a person is having tourette syndrome. I think it is only available on youtube in 10 parts. Excellent movie. Here is the link to the 1st part and rest you'll get on the Related videos section .
