THE PLOT –

Amazingly Awesome – two words for Love Aaj Kal.

For a change, I am at a loss of words to jot down the plot here. My best attempt would be that this movie takes you through a rollercoaster one-of-a-kind drive down a boulevard of emotions only Imtiaz Ali can deliver.

The story brings to the fore simple adages like ‘Love is timeless’ and ‘Love happens but once..!’ but most importantly does not meander in the entire run. Simply put, Love Aaj Kal will keep you hooked inspite of a predictable ending – very much underlining the fact that means justify the end..!

THE CAST –

Saif Ali Khan is simply beyond bounds of praise. He does full justice to the role(s) and comes up triumphs on all scores including a terrific screen-presence, something that has failed to elude him post-Dil Chahta Hai.

Deepika Padukone is surprisingly subtle and pulls off almost every piece of act with amazing grace. Perhaps, for the very first time, I have fully admired Deepika Padukone – the actress.

The rest of the cast, including Rishi Kapoor support the storyline very well and more importantly – do not appear stifling in any case.

THE MUSIC –

Another champion score from Pritam who delivers on the promise made with Jab We Met, as much as the director.

Twist and Chor Bazaari are already booming all over. Aaj Din Chadheya and Dooriyaan blend well with the screenplay though and Aahun Aahun wraps up things in style the Mauja Hi Mauja way.

A very well made album to state the least.

THE VERDICT –

One of those rarities which portray elements of contemporary cinema and find favor with any kind of audience.

So simple… So subtle… And yet, so very superb – exemplary at times..!

I can’t bet on you but for my cause – I will definitely give this one another watch..!

THE SCORE –

8.00 / 10.00
