Aashiqui

I give it 6 out of 10, because the movie portrays two young, innocent characters, capturing their romance, strengths and weaknesses in their budding relationship. While watching this movie since 1990 and up till today, Bollywood movies today are incomparable to Aashiqui. This movie captures the romance of two innocent, young lovers...Which is why I gave additional bonus points for this classic movie. You can't find a good quality, innocent romantic movies in this generation without sex.

The music definitely makes up the flaws of this movie. It's flawless. Even to this date, there is no other music that is elegant and timeless such as the music featured in this movie. The soundtrack is what made this movie famous and a success. It had garnered bonus points, because of the soundtrack. It ranked fourth place on Planet Bollywood's Top 100 list for a reason: It's worth listening to.

On the other hand, the acting is very "bland"...I also have no words to describing the characters' enthusiasm to their skills in dancing. It was very tasteless and there was no "oomph" in their moves. It's very upsetting to see two reasonable looking actors, that fit the image of the decent characters very well, but yet their acting was below average. A disappointment on both Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal. I could only compliment on Dipak Tijori and Reema Lagoo for their acting skills. They deserve bonus points on their supporting roles.

In addition to the disadvantages, the movie was set up in a chronological order: Boy meets girl, they fall in love, there are obstacles where they can't meet each other and they finally live happily ever after. Very traditional. Very Bollywood...With a few twists and turns. You just know what was going to happen next.

In conclusion, the high verdict is mostly based on the timeless soundtrack and the innocent romance of two young lovers that are deeply in love. If you're looking to pass time with your loved one and curling up to watch this movie or feel like falling in love all over again, watch it...But I wouldn't say it's a must-see. Skip it if you feel like it...You're not missing out on too much. But the music is very much worth listening to.

Aashiqui is a musical romantic drama film directed by Mahesh Bhatt. The film stars Rahul Roy, Anu Aggarwal, Deepak Tijori, Late Reema Lagoo, Late Tom Alter, Mushtaq Khan and Avtar Gill.

Two strangers falls in love and decides to get married however they have to overcome the obstacles in the way.

We have seen many films on the similar platform and similar plot and with almost the similar execution and same is the case with this film. The execution, screenplay and the climax is predictable and apart from the melodious music nothing is that exciting in the film and only it's the soothing music which keeps the viewers engaged.

Acting is decent and one can easily guess the immaturity in the acting of Rahul Rai and this was mainly because it was his debut film. Anu Aggarwal was impressive but the most impressive of them all was Deepak Tijori, he played the character of friend of the lead hero perfectly and he was so accurate that while watching the film myself felt that I must also have such friend.

Screenplay was average and mostly predictable but the mesmerizing music on regular interval will keep you engaged. Climax of the film is predictable.

Overall a super predictable film with evergreen mesmerizing music.

The upsides of being well-fed are so inimical to beholders of poetic flair what was not eaten for privileges unattached can be shown as digested to shine just for the liquor that goes by in the name of poetry unappraised for poets in the courtyard of courtesans ruling organisations of networks with iron hands of discards discarding every miniscule of cultivated culture personal miles apart from the next endeavor subsuming collaterals of empires as bigots of classisism on high seats of untenable risks buttressed by licenses of contraband unsustainable by laities with gifts of gabs. Jabs of attitude become rehabs of nurture dispensing nurture in installments of various bravado for ministers dithering as authority in the frolicking of eternal nappies by the rollicking spots of coloured frocks.

A very nostalgic romantic movie, Aashiqui may seem too simple nowadays, but it definitely did well over 20 years ago.

Free lance musician Rahul, coming from a broken family, meets orphan Anu at a most unexpected rendezvous, and love blooms in. The couple battle against all odds to be together, in a harsh world with harsh realities,but ultimately they do come together, which is when their egos clash. Will the two be able to maintain their Aashiqui? This is what the film is all about.

The best part is the music, which is what this film is famous for. I still remember how my mother loved the songs of this film those days....soooo nostalgic. Rahul Roy does a good job for a debut lead role. i am surprised he did not get better offers after this film.

Like an other bolly film of the 90s, editing is little weak.

Want something vintage and romantic? Then Aashiqui is for you!

Aashiqui Review :

Originally planned as a video film, director Mahesh Bhatt convinced Gulshan Kumar to make Aashiqui a musical love story fit for a theatrical viewing.

Introducing Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal as lovers who battle through the odds, Aashiqui was reportedly inspired from Mahesh Bhatt's own romance with his first wife Lorraine Bright (Pooja Bhatt's mom).

Of course, the real stars of the film were music directors Nadeem Shravan who composed outstanding score; every song more melodious than the other.

"Bas ek sanam chahiye Aashiqui ke liye" "Ab ter bin jee Lange hum" "Nazar ke saamne jigar ke paas" "Main duniya bhoola doonga" "Dheere dheere se meri zindagi mein aana".

Aashiqui created a new record for audio cassette sale and T Series consolidated its position in the music industry with this album.

The film was special for its poster as well. Typically, debutantes dominate the posters of their first film so as to familiarize their face to the audience. Only a maverick like Mahesh Bhatt could think of hiding them under a coat. The curiosity factor worked in favour of the movie.

I saw Aashiqui in its very first week on VHS. I loved it so much that I purchased the video cassette and saw it multiple times. My theatrical viewing was much later at Paradise cinema, Mahim where it released in its 50th week. I enjoyed it just as much there..
