आशिक़ी 2

All the haters of this movie, asking for the reason why Hero Drinks and take his life, probably I have an answer for it which may not be satisfactory for most of you but it is the fact in the current generation. It is not mandatory that an individual with problems will go under depression and the individuals who have all the facilities in life will never go under depression. It is unfortunate still 50% of the populations in India are not aware of disease called Depression. When someone gets effected by this disease the consequences will be terrible and it might lead to Suicide or even worst (Tamil movie 3 is a classic example of it). If I am not wrong, in this movie the director try to portray the charterer of Aditya as described above. I really enjoyed the movie and songs. Thanks Mohit for your attempt. Unfortunately most of the love stories end is tragic.

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.

If you are into romantic movies with sad endings, then this is for you. Mohit Suri does a good job with a script written by Shagufta Rafiqui, but the plot could have been way better. The character of the protagonist was not well established in the beginning of the film. It's a very short film, and they had all the time to give some base to Aditya's character. Nevertheless, the first half of the film is good, with the latter half kinda becoming a bore after a point. On acting front, Aditya Roy Kapoor does a decent job, but he still needs to improve on his acting skills. Shraddha Kapoor looked gorgeous and performed well. The rest of the cast was alright. The definite plus point of the movie is its music. The soulful numbers are also well picturized. Overall, it's a decent film, but definitely had the potential to be much better.

Acting: 7.5/10 Story-Screenplay-Direction: 7/10 Technical Aspects: 8.5/10

Verdict: 7.5/10

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..!!
