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.
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?
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!

For a six year old child it is very difficult to remember about movies and songs. However there are movies, their music and there was Aashiqui. It was not just another movie with hit music. It was a phenomenon. The sale of music players was increased dramatically in those days. Practically every home in India had a audio cassette(today's CD/DVD wielding kids would probably never know of them!!) of Aashiqui in their home. It is not very common to come across albums with almost all the songs being awesome. However in this case, the word "almost" can be easily dropped. Each and every song of this movie is timeless. Nadeem-Shravan may not be creative and experimental like A. R. Rehman, but it is true that if "melody" had a second name it would be Nadeem-Shravan. "Aashiqui", "Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin","Sadak", "Saajan", "Deewana", "Dil Ka Kya Qusoor", "Salami", "Damini", "Dil Wale", "Raja Hindustani", "Jeet", "Pardes" are examples of this genius combination. Mahesh Bhatt is one of the finest filmmakers we had, but it is sad that his biggest commercial success is probably his weakest work as a director, or probably got overshadowed by the lovable music. The acting in this movie is anything but good. Rahul Roy caught the fancy of many young girls in those days and his hair style was an instant rage, however the guy just couldn't act and sadly it was clearly visible in the movie too. Recently in a TV show, Kareena Kapoor admitted, she has a poster of Salman in her room, which she replaced with Rahul's when Aqshiqui released. However anybody who had seen this movie can easily predict that Rahul lacked the charisma to be a major star. Anu Agarwal showed the signs of things to come. Apart from acting in B-Grade Hollywood soft porn, the girl couldn't achieve anything. It is common for an actor to pull off a movie single handedly despite of shoddy script and bad music. In some cases even some directors have pulled off a movie by tight narration despite unconvincing performance. Aqshiqui is one of the rare cases, where Music alone pulled off a movie.
The songs are evergreen for any Bollywood romance fan. The songs turn this movie from average to brilliant. Superb soulful music!!!
