Love Aaj Kal – is it worth watching?

 

Answer is a YES!! , in fact it is a must watch for people of the new generation and people of the current or previous generation. Does not leave anybody I guess :-) . The reason I make these strong statements is because this film is unlike any other love story seen on the Indian screens in the recent past (except for Dev D).

So what makes ‘Love Aaj Kal’ so unique? Well there are plenty of reasons, but the top one is the freshness of the story itself. While we are there, the story, is alien to the normal middle class India and would largely seem illogical for the present or the older generation. But none of the characters shown are from the middle class, so if one is not able to relate to the story then fine, just view it as a story of a rich London settled guy and gal. The brief interlude every now and then of the previous era love story set in India only add to the magic.

Apart from the story what stands out are the dialogues and visuals. The dialogues are witty and not melodramatic as a normal Bollywood love story.

Go enjoy the ride !!

The director Imtiaz Ali’s Jab We Met was very well appreciated. It was good, no doubt, but the current one is lot lot better.
