Mohit Suri's musical love story doesn't bear much semblance to the original cult film 'Aashiqui'; instead it finds its own rhythm. He pitches the story with old-world romance, high-drama and well-crafted heart-breaking moments. He tunes the first half slowly, allowing the romance to simmer in torment and triumph. Aarohi's character is endearing, but displays innate strength. Rahul stays pretty much 'bottled' (like 'Devdas' with a cause), with sudden outbursts of frustration and fury. The story slows down in parts and the climax might seem unreal to many, but maybe a 'fix' for die-hard aashiqs. Note: You will not like this if die-hard romantic films don't leave you enthused or entertained.
Ratings:1.5/5 Review By: Nishi Tiwari Site:Rediff
Suri clearly had a hard time establishing the premise and fleshing out his characters. The plot is constantly weighed down by painfully mundane conversations (at one point, a lovestruck RJ is told by his dad over the phone, ‘When son is in love, father just knows.’) and fails to justify the developments in the story. The young actors look just as unconvinced and disinterested.As I see it, what probably started as an interesting story idea -- troubled artists, dynamics in a relationship -- eventually got buried under the debris of random motifs from previous hits delivered by the Bhatt camp.
