Love Aaj Kal Movie Reviews

Quite Enjoyable

I would disagree with the bad reviews. Sara Ali Khan is good in parts but Kartik Aaryan has played his role very well. He has a great character arch that he portrays with conviction It’s a sweet love story and Randeep Honda is the icing on the cake.

A MIXTURE OF COMPLEX OF INTENSE LOVE STORIES !

LOVE AAJ KAL REVIEW :-

Love Aaj Kal released in 2009 was a Box Office Hit and had some popular songs to remember. Imtiaz Ali was having a good time then but his recent movies haven’t been that much succesful. So, rather than a fresh project he comes back with a similar film Love Aaj Kal to recall 2009 film but with new exciting pair of Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan. Imtiaz goes intense again and improves a lot from his last outing Jab Harry Met Sejal, but is it really enough? That’s the question.

Spanning from 1990 to 2020, the movie portrays two love stories from widely different eras facing widely different obstacles. One couple battles society’s restrictions while the other must learn to balance work with love, but both portray the same true and unfiltered feelings of love. There can’t be much bashing over it’s basic writing and screenplay but somehow the inner soul wasn’t explored fully. We have witnessed such similar stories so many times before so there’s nothing much unique.

Coming to the acting department, which i felt was convincing enough. Kartik Aaryan gets 2 completely different roles to showcase his acting skills and does pretty much well with his variations. Sara Ali Khan as Zoe stands out as Best among the cast and this is without a doubt her best performance till date. Randeep Hooda doesn’t get much variations compared to Kartik hence the impact is average. Aarushi Sharma as Leena is fantastic. Her dancing moves and expression looks so real and non rehearsed. Rest of the supporting cast of the film is decent.

Now let’s move towards the technical fields like Cinematography, Background score, editing etc. Camera work is largely artificial because the same places coming again and again on screen, expect climax portion which captured Himalaya beautifully. Background score is healthy whereas editing lacks the intelligence. Lyrics by Irshaad Kamil and Music by Pritam are perfectly suitable to the theme and are one of the finest aspects of Love Aaj Kal. We miss chartbusters like 2009 film, though songs are Hit enough.

Now it seems like the obsession of telling complex stories will never get away from director Imtiaz Ali’s mind. When you are going to end your story on typical, predictable note then why do you need that intellectual cinema style like western countries? Indian audience have showered so much love to convincing, local love stories and the European sagas were quite depressing for them. Imtiaz Ali should have thought about this and made Love Aaj Kal a simple love story with this new exciting pair called ‘Sartik’.

Overall, Love Aaj Kal has some likeable things, good songs, fantastic performance but it also has below average direction, less conviction, regular love story theme etc. counting on negative side. This film can be watched for the performances, songs and love story of two different generations. If you have such limited expectations then Love Aaj Kal shoud be there in your watchlist. As we know it’s Valentine’s Day, i am sure couple are going to love this.

Rating- 5/10*

Overlong and Boring fare!!

Love Aaj Kal 2020 review :

No doubt, a Valentine weekend is ideal for a pyaar vyaar wali film but unfortunately, Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal 2020 might just ruin your date plan. Unless ofcourse, you are visiting the theatre to do something else (!!) rather than watching the film.

Writer- director Imtiaz Ali had made the same film with Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in 2009. It was even titled Love Aaj Kal. So I fail to understand what was the need to remake his own film which was good enough for that time but not exactly a ‘classic’ worth revisiting…

Indeed, the concept of two love stories set in present and past, presented non linearly, might have worked a decade ago but appears stale in 2020. And coming from Imtiaz who till recently, was considered a torchbearer of new age cinema, this one is a massive disappointment.

Known for his flawed yet strong characters – who can forget Geet in Jab We Met (2007) or Janardhan Jakhar in Rockstar (2011) – Imtiaz falters so badly in character development this time that you just dont connect with his main leads. Kartik Aaryan wears a clueless and dazed “main kaun hoon, kahan hoon” kinda expression for most of the film. Sara Ali Khan is so goddamn loud and sore that you wish her character was named Shreek!! Truly, this is one film she shouldn’t have signed…even at gunpoint!!

Admittedly, the 1990 wali love story narrated by Randeep Hooda (sincere as always) is far more practical as well as relatable to some extent. Newcomer Aarushi Sharma looks pretty but alas, gets no scope to perform.

Shockingly, the songs and locales – always Imtiaz’s strong point- are strictly okey dokey here. The abrupt end to one of the prem kahaani wont go down well with the single screen goers. Boo hoo!!

At 2 hours 21 minutes of run time, Love Aaj Kal is an overlong and exhausting watch. It could’ve easily been trimmed by atleast half hour if not more..

Clearly, Imtiaz Ali has hit creative block after Tamasha (2015) and only seems to be recycling his past achievements. He needs to take a break, smell the coffee and come back rejuvenated with a movie which will make a truly satisfying valentine date. Love Aaj Kal is just not that film!!
