Aashiqui 2

After about two years after Rockstar I experienced almost the same effect with Aashiqui 2. It is much more dramatic like any conventional Hindi film. Heavy dialogues which will sometimes get you thinking. The script and story actually doesn't matter much when it gets the job done for the audience. The film has its own moments. Sometimes they will look a bit lame to you but ultimately the viewer will fall in love with them. I usually get a bit bored while watching Hindi films and this one kept me hooked, was more of an accomplishment.

The story is a bit well paced in the first half and keeps it grips the viewers with many different shots and then comes the second half in which the struggle with alcohol abuse is mainly focused and is shown excellently. Mohit Suri didn't wander into ridiculous depths to show the alcohol abuse but kept it strong, unlike Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas. It wasn't required here because the movie didn't require it. The second half was jeweled with symbolic sequences and again gets the viewers thinking about alcohol abuse and its consequences.

The sound, the music was awesome and that's where I think I am comparing this film with Rockstar. The music of Aashiqui 2 knitted up the scenes spectacularly and made you high and low with it and in the end even got a lump in your throat and a teardrop in your eye.

I won't say that acting was the forte' of this film but the actors did a commendable job. Shraddha Kapoor's inncocent but pure dialogues and acting will keep you hooked.

Despite of all the minor flaws. You will fall in love with this film without a doubt and that is what counts.

I will give this film a 3.5 on 5 for a good package all together. Cheers.

Truly Aashiqui 2.The film is targeted at the youth.It will leave your eyes wet and your throats dry.Amazing chemistry and performance.Must watch.8/10

Mohit Suri tunes the first half slowly, allowing the romance to simmer in torment and triumph. Aarohi's character is endearing, but displays innate strength. Rahul stays pretty much 'bottled' (like 'Devdas' with a cause), with sudden outbursts of frustration and fury.Story is a 'fix' for die-hard lovers.

AASHIQUI 2 brings romance back on the Hindi screen -- intense, pure, selfless and heart wrenching. A stirring account with brilliant moments, bravura performances, strong emotional quotient and addictive music, this one's an absolute must watch for the romantics. On the whole, Aashiqui 2 is an entertaining film with hit music and the sacrificing nature of the heroine as it biggest trump cards. It will keep its distributors smiling.

My sister watched this movie first. And she told me to have a handkerchief before watching the movie. Reason: the movie is so emotional that she thought I won't be able to control my tears. It made me too excited and I watched it. While watching, I kept on thinking that my sister had lied because nothing such happen. But suddenly, in a scene where Aarohi talks to RJ's uncle saying that she was ready to leave everything to get into RJ's world (sharab ki duniya), I couldn't help myself. And I realized my sister was right to some extent.

The performances by the new comers are great. Director has also done quite a good job. The movie is romantic. My friends say that it's too much romantic (Aarohi... Kuch nahi, bus yuhi) and they don't like the way the movie ended. But for me, despite some mistakes, everything's fine, the whole movie is nice. Background music and songs are awesome, gonna be favorites for everyone. I recommend don't listen to critics, you watch it.

Aashiqui 2,a truly amazing love story. It was a pleasure watching such a beautifully directed movie with a great and different story. Fantastic work by the not so experienced new faces Shraddha kapoor and Aditya Roy kapoor which made a very beautiful couple on stage. It wasn't the usual same old love story script but very well written and executed script. The emotions and truly incredible songs put up at appropriate moments were the charm! Shraddha kapoor's roles in her previous films like "luv ka the end" , "teen Patti" were not as effective and couldn't bring her into the limelight. But this movie is surely going to be a great comeback for her in the Bollywood film industry.Same goes with Aditya Roy kapoor.A very effective n deeply heart touching love story which is a must watch if you like love story movies..!!

Aashiqui 2 starts of beautifully with a captivating song that you will find yourself humming as you walk out of the theater.Many things hold the movie strong.This was the first time I saw the lead pair Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor and i was mighty impressed. Aditya with his semi-dashing,semi-conservative looks does a great job portraying a conflicted singer who is past his prime and turned an addicted alcoholic. Shraddha who plays a budding singer whom Aditya promotes exhibits great talent playing a charming and loving girl.The lead pair move the strings in your heart with their powerful performances.The audio of the movie is superlative,the background score is good and two- three songs stand apart.The songs and great acting are the highlights of the movie.

On the flip side the second half kinda drags with belabored scenes along with a few scenes that lack common sense.The movie should probably have been half an hour shorter.The ending is unconventional as well.

Still the movie has enough stirring moments and is decent enough to watch in the theater!
