Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat

Movie is good but with a lot of confusion. I didn't understand this parallel story running side by side . First, I thought it's some Love Aaj kal style storytelling and in whole movie I was just guessing the connection between the two stories but Director never explained clearly even in the climax. If I leave that aspect aside , then movie is watchable and understandable .

Songs are the heart and soul of this movie. You would really like to listen those songs again n again after movie is over. After songs, acting is the strong point of the movie. Alaya F has again showed her talent and she is emerging as a breakthrough star. Karan was good in Indian story but quite dull in performance in London story.

Story is mediocre but it will not matter you after film toggles between both plot side by side b'cos your mind starts linking the connection between the two plots. Don't use much brain otherwise you would get frustrated and not focus and enjoy movie and songs.

One star removing just for confusing plot otherwise you would loving the character especially the Indian one. Go and give it a try once.

After a tired weekend this was the last thing that I needed to see.

The story ust never moves forward. It would have been a better short film.

Didn't even stay till the end.

Plot...what's that ... Could have been handled of a short story lol

Screen play ..below average

Actors ... mediocre to fine ... I belive they could have pulled more out of their roles...but it's the directors job.

Music ...worth forgetting.

I think after Bombay velvet this is the second atombomb on viewers brains.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki package done ...now no more anuraag bhaia !!!

Alert !! Please don't waste your hard earned money on this!

Better watch old episode of TMKUC on Tv again or some standup comedy than this joke. It will atleast entertain.

My Rating : 7/10

After 2018's excellent Manmarziyaan Anurag Kashyap takes on a much more wilder take on love with 'Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat'. The usual dark ingredients are all there which we have come to love about him - controversial themes, political awareness, rebellion for mainstream, and to top it off - Amit Trivedi's beautiful soundtrack weaving it altogether in a nice tasty tapestry of a coup d'état of Bollywood and box office.

It is exactly as one would expect it - going over risqué territory without taking itself too seriously. Kashyap knows he's not aiming to make another 'Gangs' or 'Gulaal' - this is a bit more pretentious but on purpose and it works well I reckon.

The theory, history and culture of film is loosely discounted more or less - the viewer isn't expected to look for something transcendental, existential or spiritual for that matter. The script aptly responds to the talent of the newcomers and the style and poetics of the world created by the director. It's taken seven years for this to be taken from three to two-dimensions.

The final crescendo is the director casting off his known ingredients into a modern crucible, and transmutating into perhaps his rendition of Generation Z love - The climax shows the characters preparing for the proverbial kill in all its vulpine forms - a form of power play that the director hopes in a culture of paranoia, nihilism and misogyny can be recovered through that four-letter word in English. No, not that one, the other one.

Distinctively Kashyap!

"almost pyaar with dj mohabbat" is almost good.

This movie gave me a "love aaj kal" 2009 directed by imtiaz ali vibe. This movie kind of has a similar writing pattern, two love stories, two different places, similar looking people. Some scenes were really good, both the love stories worked for me to an extent. The performances were really good. Karan Mehta looks like a really good promising actor. Aalya was really good. Amit Trivedi's songs were nice. I was engaged till the end.

The reviews were really bad, so i tuned into this movie with zero expectations, maybe that's why i thought the movie is pretty good. Vicky Kaushal's voice over didn't work for me actually, it was hard to figure out what he was telling and how it applied in the situations actually. The climax felt interesting, but still not that impactful and its a anurag kashyap movie, so the expectations are always high.

Watch it with zero expectations, it might work, it kind of worked for me.

The film "Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat" touches on various contemporary issues such as love jihad, same-sex marriage, patriarchy, and dysfunctional families. However, the director, Anurag Kashyap, fails to effectively deliver the message to the audience due to trying to address too many topics at once. The music by Amit Trivedi, who is known for his work in Kashyap's previous films, lacks the usual charm he brings to his music, although it may still connect with the younger generation. "Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat" is a niche film that requires the viewer to engage deeply with the drama, but it is still worth watching for its strong performances and pulsating soundtrack.
