Aa Dekhen Zara movie review

Ray Acharya (Neil Nitin Mukesh), a struggling photographer has nothing going for him... until he inherits a very 'special' camera from his grandfather which changes his life in a way that he could not have imagined in his wildest dreams.

The 'power' of the camera changes Ray's destiny overnight. His life becomes one big roller coaster ride that takes him from rags to riches and also helps him meet the love of his life, Simi (Bipasha Basu) who is an exciting sexy DJ with a mind of her own. Everything is hunky dory and moving towards 'happily ever after'.

As they say with great power comes great responsibility and in Ray's case, also great danger. He must now face up to the dark side of reality and win not only against the evil forces but also against fate.

Aa Dekhen Zara is a fast-paced, romantic musical thriller with some great edge of the seat action.

Can Ray change his date with fate? Aa Dekhen Zara.


Ray Acharya who is played by Neil Nitin Mukesh, is a struggling photographer who at this time in his life has absolutely nothing going for him. But something changes for this man which will forever alter his luck and make him start to look up as far as life goes. A very special camera that his grandfather once owned ends up falling into his lap through an inheritance.

This simple little camera ends up changing his life in a way he could have never pictured in his wildest dreams. His destiny is now altered. Over night things become a one big roller coaster for him. He goes from rags to riches. And eventually meets the love of his life Simi, played by Bollywood's hottest Bipasha Basu. Simi is an exciting and sexy DJ who thinks quite independently. It all seems that his time has come to live happily ever after. But unfortunately this is not the case for Ray who finally got the changed he hoped for.

As they say in Spiderman, "with great power comes great responsibility" and now Ray has to face great danger. Along with the good things happening for Ray a dark side of reality has now been revealed, that of which he must face. Now he must win not only against evil forces but also against fate.
Obviously, very few auteurs composed unique fictions on the supernatural thriller genre. Well, none presumed to go for the most speculative take on such genres. Perhaps the raise of new filmmakers inspired by western flicks is coming to the forefront with groundbreaking motifs. Aye! You know something…. It all started when the Japanese filmmaker Tsuruta Norio’s ‘Yogen’ (Premonition) topped the charts of World Box Office. If you’re all guessing what this plotline is all about, it’s there right in the title. A Newspaper carries stories that would happen the very next second once read. Japanese flicks never left anyone getting inspired, even Hollywood. Things got more exemplified with ‘Grudge’, ‘Ring’ and more that were marked coherent factors sans absurdities that we often notice in other films.

If ‘Yogen’ was all about newspapers, Ring - ‘A Video Tape’, ‘13B’ about TV Series, how about a phenomenal camera exposing future. Quite interesting, isn’t? Befittingly, the film top-notches with a brilliant script unforeseen ever in Indian film scenarios as it treads interesting parts.

‘Aa Dekhen Zara’ goes far-fetched with powerful characterizations and substantial screenplay, though it stumbles at few points.

Not all wildlife photographers do become Mohit Chauhan who’s prone to ‘Thrills’ n ‘Chills’ across every moment. Surely, his famous statement “a wildlife photographer in India, being charged by a tiger sometime in your life is almost a certainty” hasn’t got anything to do for a guy like Ray Acharya (Neil Nithin Mukesh).

Ray Acharya is a struggling wild life photographer who finds ‘misfortunes’ right on his shoulders. The guy hasn’t got a single paisa to run around for his every need until his grandpa dies passing on an extraordinary camera. Nevertheless, Ray who isn’t aware about the supernatural powers of this photo-cam clicks it haphazardly on Simi (Bipasha Basu), an aphrodisiac DJ who resides in the opposite apartment (this guy has been drenched with peeping-tom mania into her Kidkiyaan…). Ah! He’s stuck in appalling waters as one of the photographs depicts herself getting shot at a bar. It’s almost like Ray’s fortune gushing through boundlessly. Not just does he save his girlfriend’s life, but also turns into a millionaire overnight as he clicks at the lottery ticket, race horses to auspicate the right one.

Meanwhile, you’ve the worst baddies in town knocking his door for grabbing the sorcerous camera. In some manner, he sorts out things through hand-to-hand combat. Wait! This isn’t a happy ending for the lad. He’s topsy-turvily frizzled with the most awful situation, where camera starts prognosticating his awful future.

When previous week’s releases catered to specified groups: either multiplex or single screen audiences, ‘Aa Dekhen Zara’ savors to the best for all… Possibly, for those buffs of ‘Final Destination Series’, it may not exceed your expectations. But, pace dropping off in the latter part adds to the negative traits though loaded with finest songs, it eclipses those diminishing factors.

Neil Nithin Mukesh is simply his best as Ray. The actor had proved his adept skills with in his debut ‘Johnny Gaddar’. He doesn’t strain himself overreacting to the riskiest situations in the frame. Neil is cool striking limelight with a naturalistic appeal. Totting up is his elegant looks and gestures that draws commendable conclusions. Scrumptious Bipasha shares best chemistry with Neil. Rahul Dev as the baddie does a laudable performance. Musical score by Gourov and Pritham are pleasant to the ears though the camera could’ve been far better.

Jehangir goes proficient with an unparalleled film. As mentioned, fine screenplay and powerful characters (including the strange camera) grounds the film on best remarks.

‘Aa Dekhen Zara’ - Zaroor Dekhna Hai… At box office, the film is sure to sustain for next couple of weeks. It’s a doubtless

Dostana movie review

t's all happening in the Beach Party Capitol of the world.....Miami is the setting for Dharma Productions latest offering "Dostana" - serving a cocktail of all ingredients to do with Friendship, Fun, Frolic and that thing called Love....but with a slight twist - there is a small case of pretending to be Gay!!

When Sameer (Abhishek Bachchan) and Kunal (John Abraham) are turned down for an apartment because the land lady doesn't want 2 strapping young men to corrupt her young sexy niece Neha (Priyanka Chopra), they go to plan "G" - they pretend to be "Gay" to secure the apartment.

All is well till they meet the sexy siren Neha and thus begins a journey of fun, frolic and a test of friendship like never before when Neha's boss Abhimanyu (Bobby Deol) enters the fray as the third contender for her affections, it gets even hotter under everyone's vests and bikini's and the boy's get down and dirty, in sunny Miami.
Vishal and Shekhar seem to be having a rollicking time this year, with almost every album of theirs setting the cash registers ringing. After "Tashan", "Bachna Ae Haseeno", they're out with "Dostana" and it rocks.

"Desi girl" is an energy packed track that has a good dose of thumping dance beats and variety in terms of lyrics. Shankar Mahadevan and Sunidhi Chauhan render it with full gusto and live up to the status of being the most energetic singers in Bollywood. All in all, this tra...


Dostana is about two guys, Sameer played by Abhishek Bachchan who is a nurse and Kunal played by John Abraham, a photographer. They bump into each other while looking for an apartment to rent, and coincidentally head towards the same apartment.

However, they are both thrown out because the owner wants to rent the apartment to women only, since her niece, Neha played by Priyanka Chopra stays in that apartment alone.

Sameer gets the idea that if Kunal and he pretend to be gay lovers, then the owner will agree to let them stay. Kunal initially refuses, but agrees out of desperation. Their plan works and they move in. Over a period of time Neha, Kunal, and Sameer become good friends, hanging out together and having fun.

One day Neha's boss 'M', short for Murli announces that he is resigning from his job as the editor-in-chief of Verve magazine and is in charge of replacing himself. In order to impress her boss who is gay, and bag the job, Neha invites him for dinner at her house telling him that she will introduce him to her gay roommates. The evening turns out to be a comical situation as Sameer's mother finds out that her son might be gay and turns up at their doorstep.

Next day at Neha's office M announces Abhimanyu Singh as the next editor-in-chief. Neha, heartbroken returns home where Kunal and Sameer try to console her. Kunal, Sameer and Neha then together work out a difficult project she was given by her boss and Neha becomes a hit at her office. Pleased with her success, Abhimanyu appoints her as the co-editor-in-chief of Verve. While Kunal is out of town for a few days, Sameer takes Neha out on an intimate date.

Sameer confesses his love for Neha at a mall where Kunal is coincidentally spying. Kunal than attempts to confess his love and things end up taking a different turn. They decide to take Neha out for her birthday to a place that ends up being a male strip bar. A character named Abhimanyu joins the mix and Kunal and Sameer decide to eliminate him all together. They tell Abhimanyu to do completely ridiculous things in order to impress Neha (like asking him to wax his chest hair off and wear an outlandish dress), but their plan doesn't work.

The rest of the film plays out like a three way game with them going through all kinds of schemes to outwit each other. Eventually Neha gets upset with them and the film ends off with a comedic kiss between Sameer and Kunal which was instigated by Abhimanyu. The three eventually make up and they all go back to being good friends.

8x10 Tasveer movie review

It seems that bollywood' s latest addiction is photography. After 'Aa dekhe zara' last week '8*10 Tasveer ' is also a concoction supernatural power & photography. This times it's not the camera but our own dear ' padam shree ' akki himself who has the ability of time traveling
whenever he peeks to a photograph (?) .
Jai Puri (Akshay) is a forest ranger in Canada. For over a year he is having a live in relationship with Sheela (Takia) and staying separately from his parents Jatin (Benjamin Gilani) and Savitri (Sharmila Tagore) because he doesn’t approve of his father’s business dealings.Jai can look at any photograph and can actually go (actually his spirit used to visit) right into that moment when it was actually clicked. Through his this gifted ability he had helped many people who are in need , though it even cost his health . His happy life gets a blow when he comes to know about his father’s death. It is supposedly an accident as his father slipped down their yacht and had a heart attack when fallen into cold water. His mother, father’s business partner cum brother Sunder (Anant Mahadevan), business associate Adit (Rushad Rana) and good friend cum lawyer Anil Sharma (Girish Karnad) were present on the yacht when the accident took place. While Jai too dismisses it as an accident, Habib aka Happi (Javed Jaffery) a whimsical ex-cop meets him and explains the possibility of a murder. Jai in the beginning disbelieves him but Happi tries to bring to notice proofs that lead Jai to believe that it was indeed a murder. Jai starts using his special gift to trace the murderer through that one photograph which was clicked just minutes before his father died. But then two more murders take place and Jai is left stunned. How one shocking revelation leads to other and what “truth” comes face to face at the pre-climax forms the rest of the film.
Starting of the movie is well. But soon slow pace faded down that wellness , though it is intentional to go slow.The premise of the movie & settings keeps on getting more & more grabbing & interesting & some superb shots keeps you binded , It is almost like watching a Hollywood suspense thriller . But the whole premise get crazy free during the last 30 minutes in what appears like a ever lasting climaxWith the big suspense tumbling out and the reasons given by the murderer appearing far from convincing, you stop taking it seriously. But one can admit, the identity of the murderer is indeed very shocking and something that even the biggest of suspense film fan’s can find it difficult to predict. However, even after it is revealed, the film takes too much time to wind up. After a point you lose count of how many dead bodies are fallen.
But that doesn't prevent u from giving credit & praise to Kukunoor who truely deserves it
. His interval point is really grabbing u can almost wish that it shouldn't came at that point
. kukunoor again rocks though this time at a lower note.
Akshay Kumar deserves a bow for taking the risk to be a part of such an unusual project. He has acted sincerely and given it his all Ayesha Takia is back in form and impresses. Javed Jaffrey is simply superb right from his entry to exit. Girish Karnad makes a rare appearance and is good as usual. Sharmila Tagore lends grace to her character. Anant Mahadevan and Rushad Rana are good as well. The actress playing Javed Jaffrey’s nurse ex-girlfriend is natural.
The film hardly has scope for music and thankfully songs are kept minimized. The background score by Salim Suleiman successfully elevates the thrill element.
One can easily go & watch it. He won't feel that his money is been robbed .Movie is a good thriller & a paisa vasool.
8X10 Tasveer" stars Akshay Kumar as Jai, a man with a special ability. Straying away from the Bollywood comic norm, "8X10" is a supernatural thriller with Akshay Kumar starring as a man who can go back into the past of the deceased by touching one of their objects.

Akshay Kumar’s friends are skeptical at his supposed power and his father, Jatin, feel like he should be managing the family business rather than focusing on his "so called" power. The constant struggle between Jai and his father has destroyed their relationship. Jai’s mother can’t stand being apart from her son so she goes behind Jatin’s back to see him.

When Jatin is killed in a mysterious accident, Akshay Kumar holds on to a photograph and delves into his father’s past. While Jai tries to unravel his father’s death we’re taken on a nail biting rollercoaster. We are able to see the motive behind every decision in the Bollywood thriller.

Along with Akshay Kumar, the film stars Ayesha Takia who plays his wife Sheela, the love of his life. Sharmila Tagore, and Javed Jaffery. A.R. Rahman follows up his Oscar award winning soundtrack for "Slumdog Millionaire" by working on the 8X10 soundtrack. Also featured on the soundtrack is Bohemia, a US-based desi rapper.

Nagesh Kukunoor (previous films include "Bollywood Calling" and "Iqbal"); director of the film set the filmed in Calgary, Canada. Fans of Akshay Kumar will be surprised by the role as Kumar is taking on a different type of role, one with sci-fi/thriller elements. According to Kumar, "Nagesh’s film is definitely a change from what I am used to doing. But after that, I’m going back to action and then comedy. " When asked what type of film he enjoys doing the most he says, "Each has its own fun and challenges. Action’s my all time favorite though."

Blue movie review

Apart from that, “Blue” most certainly has an international feel to it, as it has promised throughout. It includes some of the best shot underwater sequences that has ever graced the screen. Even pre-release, a lot of hype had been created about the venture because of its claim of being India’s first underwater action flick.

The ensemble cast boasts of a list of biggies from the Bollywood industry like Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Zayed Khan and Lara Dutta. The present flavor of the industry, Katrina Kaif also makes an appearance in the film, in a small cameo and manages to scorch the screen considerably. Going by the looks of it, this Diwali release is certainly set to hit the jackpot, as it makes for a wholesome package of entertainment.

“Blue” is the story of an expedition that is led to unearth the treasure that lies in the deep end of the sea and is guarded by deadly sharks. The adventurous journey is initiated by a super rich Aarav Malhotra (Akshay Kumar) and includes his friend Sagar (Sanjay Dutt). Also accompanying them are Sagar’s brother Sam (Zayed Khan) and girlfriend Mona (Lara Dutta). As they go about their expedition, the audience is thrown in to a world of breathtaking underwater scenic beauty and adrenalin pumping action.



"Blue" is a film that is breaking the typical Bollywood mold. The film is said to be the first official Bollywood film shot underwater. Akshay Kumar, following up his last thriller "8X10" comes back in another thriller with "Blue." Directed by American born Anthony D'Souza, the film is shot in the Bahamas.

D'Souza also enlisted actors Sanjay Dutt, Zayed Khan, Lara Dutt, and Katrina Kaif. "Blue has a immense budget" at 100-150 crores. It is supposed to have an international appeal. To achieve this, D'Souza enlisted the help of Australian pop icon Kylie Minogue. Minogue will be seen along Kumar in at least one of the films songs. The song is composed by Oscar winning artist A.R. Rahman and choreography is done by Farah Khan.

For "Blue" Hollywood technicians were called in. The international technician crew consisting of Nickolette Skarlatos and Clarabelle Saldanha has worked on the film; their last film was the international blockbuster "Transformers." In filming underwater scenes, D'Souza uses Pete Zuccarini. James Bomalick, who worked in Indiana Jones, choreographs the action sequences.

Filming on the set was a bit scary, one scene called for Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, and Zayed Khan to be surrounded by 40 sharks. According to D'Souza, "We had shark handlers present on the shoot to make sure that nothing untoward happened. But it was a risky business. Everyone who was around knew that these were living, breathing sharks and that it was their turf." Akshay had to receive special deep sea diving training in Thailand because he wanted to do his own stunts.

Other fears on the set came from Lara Dutt. Dutt has a fear of being underwater, however co-star Kumar helped ease her fears. Yes, Akshay's natural sporty spirit is highly contagious. And it did help me to take the plunge," says Dutt.

"Blue" is made for those who want pulsating action, innovative stunts, glamour and some unbelievable moments that defy logic.

Kaminey movie review

Kaminey is the best Bollywood film I’ve seen this year. It’s an audacious, original rollercoaster ride. Written and directed by Vishal Bharadwaj, Kaminey requires patience and attention but the pay off is more than worth it.

Kaminey is about Charlie and Guddu, twin brothers played by Shahid Kapoor, both of whom suffer from speech impediments and who can’t stand the sight of each other. Charlie, who pronounces S as F, is a small time gangster. Guddu, who stammers, is a mousy NGO worker. Guddu’s life plans, chalked out until 2014 on a chart stuck in his cupboard, are wrecked when he impregnates Sweety, his fiery girlfriend who until now has neglected to tell him that she is the sister of a powerful gangster-politician, Bhope, played by Amol Gupte. Meanwhile Charlie has come to possess a guitar containing cocaine worth 10 crore. The quintessential gambler thinks he’s finally hit the big score. What follows is a frantic, convoluted journey through Mumbai’s mean streets which are of course populated by many Kamineys: corrupt cops, nasty drug dealers, gun wielding henchmen. Eventually, the brothers’ determinedly separate narratives collide and they are forced to come together.

Be warned: there are stretches of Kaminey that will thoroughly confuse you, starting with the first fifteen minutes. The film has eleven-odd characters that you need to keep track of. Snatches of dialogue are in Bengali and Marathi. If you look away from the screen to send a text message, you might miss another twist in this very, very tangled tale. The first half moves slowly. You might be bewildered and perhaps even bored. But stay with the film. Because the pacing picks up in the second half and Vishal ties up the threads in an exhilarating climax, which, incredibly enough, manages to combine stunning violence with humor.

Kaminey is that rarest of things: an unpredictable Hindi movie. Vishal, referencing the crackling gangster dramas of Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie, keeps it gritty and dark. Violence looms large over Kaminey but the tension is layered with black humor. The film reworks Hindi cinema’s favorite formula - twins - into a bloody theater of the absurd. Charlie and Guddu are unlike any twins you’ve seen before. Each one is willing to sacrifice the other to get what he wants. This is the role or roles of a lifetime and Shahid Kapoor, best known for innocuous chocolate-boy romances, sinks his teeth in. Kaminey does for him what Omkara did for Saif Ali Khan. A star has evolved into an actor.

Sweety is this year’s most exciting heroine after Paro in Dev D, and Priyanka plays her with aplomb. Only her perfectly manicured nails struck me as out of synch with her character. Vishal has equal affection for the smaller players: from the coke-addled Mikhail played nicely by Chandan Roy Sanyal to the Jai Maharashtra-spouting Bhope. Each one is flesh and blood.

Kaminey will take some getting used to. It isn’t the comfort food that Bollywood normally dishes out. But I strongly recommend that you see it. This taste is worth acquiring.
With respected names such as Vishal Bhardwaj, Gulzar, Ronie Screwvala and UTV, it is obvious that the project gets associated with huge expectations and craze even before its release. And if it also has a great energetic track, capable of bringing out all the hidden madness in you (Dhan Tan Nan), then the movie is destined to see long queues of cinema lovers at the box office window.

So all geared up, we got seated excitingly in the theater, expecting a complete new chapter to unfold on the screen. And as the lights went off, we were served with a slow and uninteresting start having the expected dark feeling, which continued till the intermission. Truly speaking, the movie is not so gripping till the mid-point as compared to the previous works of Vishal. Though he succeeds in making a film on the similar lines of Quentin Tarantino & Guy Ritchie, but I found the entertainment factor quite missing in his current venture. Post interval, the movie has a better pace with some fast interconnected sequences featuring every single character in the screenplay. But the routine climax, with everyone killing each other leaves you with mixed feelings about this latest “Vishal Experience”.

The story moves around two brothers who are not at talking terms with each other but get unintentionally involved with different Gangsters. The identity mix up and a big deal of drugs involving the local police is the main plot of the movie. But the movie cannot be judged by its story plot alone, since it heavily relies on it’s out of the routine treatment and first of its kind of direction in Indian Cinema.

No doubt the movie is conceived intelligently and directed differently by Vishal Bhardwaj. But apart from its technical brilliance, the sad part is that the film doesn’t have the HUMOR element at all as promised in its promotional campaign. The main USP of the movie, wherein Shahid speaks “F” instead of “S” in his dialogues, is used in a very subtle manner. Whereas in the promos, this fun gimmick was used very aggressively.

The other major point to be considered is the unimpressive use of the Smash Hit song “Dhan Tan Nan” in the movie. As the song commences on the screen, you don’t feel energetic or lively enough, as you may have felt watching “Sapno Mein Milti Hai” or “Omkara”. The over use of close-ups, strobe lighting and fast camera movements also took away the essence of an otherwise power-packed song.

In the acting department, Shahid Kapoor does well in his double role and stammering. He completely devotes himself to his director’s vision. However, I found the witty humor part missing in his character. Priyanka Chopra tries her best in an underwritten role and manages to shine bright in all her scenes throughout the movie. The surprise act of Amol Gupte is quite pleasant since he delivers a fine controlled performance as The Bhai.

Musically, keeping the cult track “Dhan Tan Nan” aside, I found the soundtrack a bit less scoring then the earlier works of both Vishal Bhardwaj & Gulzar. Camerawork is simply superb, giving the right kind of dark and grim feel to the project. But at times I missed a steady cam vision in the sequences.

In all, after watching it, at one end, you like it for its unique & different approach adopted by the director. But on the other you also feel less entertained as expected from its promotional campaign which projected the movie as a roller coaster ride with great element of fun and humor. So we remain half way at the satisfaction chart with “Kaminey
A story about identical twins, in early twenties, hoping to leave the squalor behind and move into a life of prosperity and dignity. But the similarity ends here. Intercut between the parallel stories of the brothers as they run to protect themselves, their dreams and their love. Until a point where it converges and the brothers meet to realize that they only have each other.


"Kaminey" stars Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. Kapoor stars as twins Guddu and Charlie, identical twins in their early twenties hoping to leave the slums behind and hoping for a better life filled with riches. Growing up in Dharavi, the world's largest slum.

Guddu works as a trainee in a small NGO firm in the city. He hopes to climb up to the top of the corporate ladder, hoping he could become a bona fide member of the burgeoning Indian middle class. His career has only just begun though and the road to bourgeoisie is both long and arduous. Guddu is honest, diligent and careful. One defining characteristic about Guddu is that he stammers, especially when under pressure.

Charlie on the other hand makes a living hedging bets at the race course. Being around rich people at the race course inspires him to want to become a bookie so he can permanently be in this environment, not to mention pocket some easy money. Charlie is street smart, wily and brave--and he is a little rough around the edges, having become accustomed to street life. While Guddu stammers, Charlie has a lisp.

The two brothers do not like each other and feel like they have nothing in common due to their stark differences. They keep their own goals as their primary reasons for existing, caring little for the dilemma of the other brother. Because of their different lifestyles, they’re never around each other, which explains even why as identical twins, their appearances are different.

Intercut between the parallel stories of the brothers as they run to protect themselves is their dreams and their love until a point where it converges and the brothers meet to come upon a life-changing realization. The story of “Kaminey” is how all of these changes and their paths eventually cross. This movie can become the feel good tale of the summer.

Online Love Aaj Kal hindi Movie Review And Wallpapers

Love Aaj Kal movie review


It’s the best romantic film to have come out of Bollywood in years

The mighty mysterious love, which has remained unexplained even after tomes of literature has been written about it and tones of celluloid consumed, finds a delicate, touching expression in director Imtiaz Ali’s film Love Aaj Kal. Through two parallel love stories, both equally moving and relatable, the movie tells its audience that Love Aaj is no different from Love Kal (yesterday) even though the way of expressing it for today’s i-pod generation may be different from that of the lovers of yore when just the meeting of eyes or passing of a smile could throb a heart more than a rocking bed on a one-night stand.

London 2009. Jai (Saif Ali Khan) and Meera (Deepika Padukone) click on their very first meeting in a pub and end up sharing their first kiss the same night. They don’t realize they are a couple until their friends point it out to them. And just when it seems they would walk hand-in-hand into the sunset, rears its head the modern-day monster that has doomed many love stories - Career! He has an American dream of clinching a job in Golden Gate, San Francisco, while she wants to make a career out of restoring the old monuments of Delhi. Clearly, their ways are separate, and, like any ‘practical’ couple, they mutually decide to split and even throw a break-up party.

But, can the matters of heart be resolved so easily? Is it so easy to snap the heart strings and move on?

The answer is given through the love story of a London restaurateur (Rishi Kapoor).

Delhi 1965. Veer Singh (Saif, again) is left thunderstruck when he first sees Harleen (Giselle Monteiro - a beautiful newcomer whose name was strangely withheld). It’s a love mostly expressed in stares and suppressed smiles. But then, she goes away to Calcutta, leaving Veer lifeless, until he listens to his heart, and, driven by his love, overcomes the many odds piled up against him, to make Harleen his.

But will Jai go the Veer way?

Imtiaz Ali has crafted the film superbly by not just juxtapositioning the love stories of Jai and Veer but also following a non-linear route to tell each story. The dots are connected in an aesthetically beautiful way to give ‘Love Aaj Kal’ the structure of a complex origami that makes complete sense when all its segments come together to unravel a pretty design. And a fat share of credit for this should go to the editor, Aarti Bajaj, who does an incredibly good job.

To top it, Saif Ali Khan gives the best performance of his career. Unlike the painful performances we saw in Tashan and Race, here’s a Saif who is subtle, polished and spot on in his dual portrayal of Jai and Veer. There’s a scene where Saif is nonchalantly telling Rishi Kapoor that Deepika, from whom he has split, will move on in life, have new friends and new relationships. It’s quite a sight to see how his expression and tone changes from being dismissive to painfully sad by the end of the same long dialogue. It’s the stuff only seasoned actors can pull off.

Deepika Padukone is an image of grace in a role that requires her to talk more through the eyes than words. She doesn’t ham, nor is there any apparent effort on her part to underplay her character. Rishi Kapoor is good, but a special mention ought to be made of the girl who plays Harleen. She’s a pretty, delicate damsel who gets just two-three dialogues in the film but still leaves her image in your mind. Rahul Khanna, playing the new man in Deepika’s life, has a very small part which he plays convincingly.

Imtiaz Ali, whose forte is love stories, surpasses his previous two films Socha Na Tha and Jab We Met to touch a new high in ‘Love Aaj Kal’. The movie not just has an interesting structure and form, but a throbbing soul that reaches out to a viewer and sucks him/her in. Yes, there are a few sequences in the second half when the film slows down, particularly when Saif begins to date the blonde bombshell (Florence Brudenell-Bruce). But these hitches are too minor when compared to the impressive picture put together by Imtiaz.

Sprinkled throughout with light humour and songs that are hummable (thanks to Pritam), ‘Love Aaj Kal’ is a heady love potion strongly recommended to both the believers and non-believers of the ‘Heer-Ranjha’, ‘Romeo-Juliet’ kind of ‘janam janam ka saath’ stories.

Go watch it. You won’t be disappointed. Rather, you’d be left wanting to fall in love, if you are already not in it, that is.


Love Aaj Kal is directed by 'Jab We Met' director Imtiaz Ali and it stars Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone. The supporting roles are being portrayed by Rishi Kapoor and Rahul Khanna. The story revolves around two plots regarding how love is portrayed.

'Love Aaj Kal' has two plots about love, but they are drastically different in nature. The first part of the story has Saif Ali Khan's character playing a Sardar in a village in Punjab, where he is in love with a village woman. According to a source that worked on the movie, "In the olden times, love was very different from what it is today. At that time people were happy with loving someone in their hearts, from a distance. People believed in love at first sight. Everything was very discreet and coy. There was no urge to actually get to know or get physical with the object of one's affection. Arranged marriages that lasted forever were a way of life."

The second plot in 'Love Aaj Kal' has a different twist to it. In that plot, Saif Ali Khan plays a character that's the complete opposite of the previous one. Saif Ali Khan plays a contemporary, suave and macho dude, similar to what he is in real life. His character is based in London in a time where people perceive love much differently. They want to get to know that person; physical attraction and its manifestation are very strong. There is no guarantee that love will last forever. People have many more problems and things are more complicated than they were before. There is a love triangle between Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and British actress Florence Brudenell-Bruce.

A Movie like this is where Imtiaz Ali's cinematic style is said to flourish. According to the source "Imtiaz's signature style touches with unusual situations and genuinely funny dialogues." Love Aaj Kal is said to be a study of love, how it was a few generations ago and how it is today. "That is why it has been titled Love Aaj Kal," says the source.

On the whole, despite its inherent flaws, Love Aaj Kal is still rather enjoyable and has more than it's fair share of nice moments. So while the whole doesn't match up to the sum of its parts, I still reccomend you watch Love Aaj Kal. Just remember to leave Jab We Met at home.

Eight days later, the camp shifts to Jodhpur, then to Bhanjar for five days and then to Dulla for a schedule of 10 days. We then return to Jodhpur to shoot at the Mehranghar Fort for 12 days.
