Featured review
After about two years after Rockstar I experienced almost the same effect with Aashiqui 2. It is much more dramatic like any conventional Hindi film. Heavy dialogues which will sometimes get you thinking. The script and story actually doesn't matter much when it gets the job done for the audience. The film has its own moments. Sometimes they will look a bit lame to you but ultimately the viewer will fall in love with them. I usually get a bit bored while watching Hindi films and this one kept me hooked, was more of an accomplishment.
The story is a bit well paced in the first half and keeps it grips the viewers with many different shots and then comes the second half in which the struggle with alcohol abuse is mainly focused and is shown excellently. Mohit Suri didn't wander into ridiculous depths to show the alcohol abuse but kept it strong, unlike Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas. It wasn't required here because the movie didn't require it. The second half was jeweled with symbolic sequences and again gets the viewers thinking about alcohol abuse and its consequences.
The sound, the music was awesome and that's where I think I am comparing this film with Rockstar. The music of Aashiqui 2 knitted up the scenes spectacularly and made you high and low with it and in the end even got a lump in your throat and a teardrop in your eye.
I won't say that acting was the forte' of this film but the actors did a commendable job. Shraddha Kapoor's inncocent but pure dialogues and acting will keep you hooked.
Despite of all the minor flaws. You will fall in love with this film without a doubt and that is what counts.
I will give this film a 3.5 on 5 for a good package all together. Cheers.
