Rahul is way past the peak of his career and has reduced himself to a self-destructive alcoholic.

Personally, I feel Mohit Suri must have really loved Rockstar (2011) and wished he could make something like it. It has more to do with Abhimaan (1973) but let's not get into Hrishikesh Mukherjee's great film and distort the evaluation. Something that only Imtiaz Ali seems to care about these days.Īashiqui 2 has nothing to do with the 90s Aashiqui. The intense passion from love "aaj kal" is entirely missing. Pain and heartbreak are not given enough credit in movies these days. What I do love is an old-fashioned romance. I love the music and that's saying something because I'm not into Mahesh Bhatt's brand of movies or music. You won't regret it, I promise.Review Aashiqui 2 & earn 20 DM Points.* Review Submit "So, skip the movie, and buy its music CD instead. Isn't it ironic that for an industry which incessantly makes romantic films, it is still unable to churn out a simple, heartwarming romantic story? Its fate, however, will be far more damaging. "What it does share with its supposed original is a jacket and the name of its male protagonist.

"For a movie that flaunts such impressive soundtrack, it's regrettable that the 'gorgeous' faces that blindly lip-sync those lyrics are unable to strike a chord with the audience. "Chances are the Bhatt brothers - Mahesh and Mukesh - were so overwhelmed by the remarkable soundtrack that they had collected from a talented bunch of composers (Jeet Ganguly, Mithoon, Ankit Tiwari) that they decided to spin a movie around it. If 'Aashiqui2' was a music album, then it's fate would've been far more promising than its current avatar as a movie.

Sneha May Francis of Emirates 24/7 writes: "It would've worked wonders as a music album, but as a movie, unfortunately, Mohit Suri's love story is a torture to our senses. Faintly trying to revive a dead script with soothing music and appealing chemistry, the film has a hasty and unpredictable wrap up which kills its tempo." Aashiqui 2 has not one impressive quality in it when it comes to direction. "Mohit Suri delivers a letdown of a film. Surprisingly, the script has kept the love story independent of Rahul's self loathing tendencies. "The film could easily pass as a documentary for Alcoholics Anonymous! Oodles of melodrama and dollops of mush leave you feeling diabetic! But as far as the script goes, there is an interesting and rather impressive point to note. With absolutely nothing remarkable in this distasteful blend of Devdas and Abhimaan, I will recommend this film only for Aditya Roy Kapur's intense acting. Mohar Basu of writes: "Mohit Suri's Aashiqui 2 rambles on about a love story that turns into a convoluted mess because of alcoholism. A stirring account with brilliant moments, bravura performances, strong emotional quotient and addictive music, this one's an absolute must watch for the romantics." "On the whole, AASHIQUI 2 brings romance back on the Hindi screen - intense, pure, selfless and heart wrenching. At the same time, Mohit shoulders a colossal responsibility because the soundtrack was a game changer. "This one prides itself with a contemporary plot, has far more complex and intricate drama and offers abundant scope to its lead actors to display histrionics. Gradually, Rahul and Aarohi fall in love. Rahul takes it upon himself to make Aarohi a singing star, builds her confidence and even arranges for her audition with the music baron. Rahul, a singing sensation, falls in love with the voice of Aarohi, who aspires to be a singer and sings at lowly joints. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama writes: "AASHIQUI 2 traces the journey of a young couple and the turbulence in their lives. You will not like this if die-hard romantic films don't leave you enthused or entertained." "This could be good soup for the lovers' soul - with a dash of old-world flavour. He pitches the story with old-world romance, high-drama and well-crafted heart-breaking moments. "Suri's musical love story doesn't bear much semblance to the original 'Aashiqui' instead it finds its own rhythm.
