Aashiqui

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!

Why I have given this movie 10/10 is because of its romantic, melodious, lovely and cool music. The music of a life time, the music forever. Then comes Mahesh Bhatt. Mr.Mahesh Bhatt! you are my best director. Your description of relationships in life, your view of love is most agreeable. Yes readers, this is how he shows that when you love some thing, love it from the depth of your heart. There are relationships in his movies. Readers would say that relationships are there in every movie. Yes its true but watch the difference in Mahesh Bhatt's description and description of other film makers. If you have watched Aashiqui, watch the relationship between Rahul and his friend and then between Rahul and his mother. Are they not executed brilliantly?

I love Bollywood romances, and I absolutely loved this! The songs are beautiful (especially Dheere dheere). What I found just as moving as the songs is the depiction of a fantastically pure, innocent and passionate romance between the couple. It's so beautiful in its earnestness and intensity (which the less romantic among us will find very silly) that it's almost haunting.

A sensitive but impetuous young man falls in love with a withdrawn and shy orphan girl. Their love comes across all sorts of obstacles and, of course, overcomes them all. There are good themes about women empowerment, valuing love and relationships, and good winning over evil.

What I found really attractive throughout the movie is the haunting, yearning, love-filled gaze the couple has for each other. There are several scenes where they just gaze into each others eyes with such longing and tenderness that anyone who has ever loved will feel their passion themselves. Anu Aggarwal has these beautiful eyes that communicate both the ecstasy and pain of her love, and Rahul Roy has a soft-hearted passion in his tone.

Yes, there are mannnnyyyy deux-ex-machinas. The tears are always rolling. The bad guys are really bad, and the good guys are really good. But the movie recognizes and even indulges in its silly passion. Towards the end there is a line spoken to one who doesn't understand, perhaps also spoken to those who have groaned and winced and rolled their eyes through the whole movie -- "Yeh tu nahi samjhega. Yeh love story hai. Aashiqui." (You won't understand -- it's a love story. It's passion). It's a fantasy, and for that it's really beautiful -- a fantasy where goodness and badness exist only in purity; where love is good, and good conquers all.

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.

I learned guitar just to play the Saason ki zaroorat music. All songs were absolute diamonds. And not to forget, I had a fantastic Rahul cut hair too. 20 years since, the music still sounds honeydewed and has acquired a legendary status. Just as we could appreciate 60s-70s music being a 90s kid, I expect todays kids to train their ears to learn the greatness of the 90s.
