Submitted by on July 5, 2010 34 Comments

Queenstown is a lead character in Bollywood’s latest runaway box office hit, I Hate Luv Storys starring Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor. Movie goers in India and across the world got to see Luv Story for the first time this weekend.

I Hate Luv Storys – a romantic comedy starring Indian heart-throbs Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor – has been ranked India’s 12th best net grossing movie of all time on opening day. The movie, which premiered in India on Friday 2 July 2010, saw big city movie theatres filling to the brim. The film is also proving to be a big hit outside of India. Internationally, it has provided the biggest opening day ever for filmstar Imran Kahn.

Here in an interview with Imran and Sonam (Hindi):

Here is the Trailer:

The film tells the story of two Bollywood actors who fly to Queenstown, in New Zealand’s South Island, to shoot a film and end up falling in love. Director Punit Malhotra – who came New Zealand looking for “picture postcard locations” – also fell in love with Queenstown. “As a film maker in Queenstown you don’t have to hunt for good locations. The place itself is one giant exquisite locale,” Malhotra told H T Cafe magazine.

“We were looking for landscapes that resembled Switzerland in Hindi films from the nineties. I came across Queenstown in New Zealand … the place turned out to be perfect. We got an opportunity to shoot around Glenorchy the location for ‘Lord of the Rings’.” “It’s a little far from India but the journey is totally worth it.” he added.
