Aashiqui

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.

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.

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 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.
