Aashiqui-2


Film: Aashiqui 2
Director: Mohit Suri
Cast: Aditya Roy Kapur, Shraddha Kapoor
Rating: ** 1/2

A rockstar spirit rarely in control of their actions, a girl singing culturally rooted in bars and aspires to be Lata. A decision to guide innocent snowballs in a torrid affair. I love it. Addiction. Tears. Karma. Sacrifice. Music. Music, above all. This, in a nutshell, is Aashiqui 2: newly crated Bhatt assembly line. However, this time they have been jilted the idea of ​​shocking, frightening, or healing you and chose to agreement with conviction. The result: a mashup that pays tribute to Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Abhimaan of Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar.

Although attractive and ripe for the most part, the script Aashiqui 2 stubbornly refuses to break the surface tension of cyclical history. And unfortunately, is neither deep nor very original, it works more as a tribute. There is hardly an emotion that have not been handled before, past misunderstandings out of sync with the technology at hand, or a scene that does not feel like a deja vu moment. It is concerning overcame these: Abhimaan was a story Hindi movie audiences had not seen before. And just the sheer scale of Rockstar with Ranbir Kapoor's antics made the cult-like.

Even Aashiqui 2 has its fair share of tender moments framed by large amounts of tears. I liked that the relationship is purely platonic almost to the halfway mark and when feelings can not hold back anymore, that flow like a raging hurricane. Yet the scene that paints this picture is moving, and gives the image that are likely to be left with long after the film ends. She definitely nervous for his first shot at a professional singer, refusing to enter the recording studio. He tries to convince her in. They have a heart to heart conversation through a glass tablet door. There is no perfection, even in the sound design.

Love Makes a blender unseemly for all the alcohol you drink. Must choose. You can not choose. Like its weakness is the bottle, it his him. She makes a choice. He, with his luggage. He promises to clean. He staggers. Rinse. Repeat. Until it reaches the end of the vortex. Does not advance much. Especially down. The focus remains on drivers. Literally. Many of the characters in a scene never seen, only his or her reactions. Mohit Suri has endless options to its climax. He chooses the hardest final and most correct.

It's a shame that a few weak moments of stupidity ahead sacrifice for quality theater. That and the fact that they seem to be living on different continents, while manufacturers to pass as a city. Pepper the scenes with some poor dialogue and what we should have to be a romantic date movie is less satisfactory than one would have expected.

Invest, instead, on the actors. Finally, young Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor get papers with some leeway to make their own. And Aashiqui 2 is the majority.

Mohit Suri is a director who knows his craft and is still making films in the knowledge and heart. Aashiqui 2 delicate handling definitely feels more than the execution of a script. It's just that your audience needs to be in a similar space of mind to really enjoy this film. Sure it has its moments music, but does not actually say anything new.
