But it happens at a party where there’s a midget Wolverine in the background and a dozen firangi extras that look more wooden than mannequins.īut for each of these cringe worthy moments, Aashiqui 2 also has honest and effective scenes of passion and drama. Aashiqui 2 (Bahasa Inggris: Romantis 2) adalah Film romantis musikal drama India Tahun 2013 disutradarai oleh Mohit Suri.Dibintangi Aditya Roy Kapur dan Shraddha Kapoor dalam peran utama, diproduksi oleh Bhushan Kumar dan Mukesh Bhatt di bawah T-Series dan Vishesh Film spanduk. They’re BFFs and business partners and they’re about to have a Deewaar-like clash of the brothers. There’s a showdown scene between Aditya and Shaad Randhawa. But Mohit Suri keeps committing cinematic sins and killing the spirit of his film. Right through the film you feel like it’s trying to borrow the best parts of Abhimaan (1973) and Rockstar (2011). Such moments are near poetic but then there are also clichés like Aditya stealing Shraddha’s wallet because he doesn’t have any money left. But Shraddha looks distraught not having her emotional anchor by her side. There’s a great scene when Aditya leaves Shraddha behind in a cloud of media personnel only to step back and realise at the fame she’s amassed. The career insecurity versus love angle is quite good. What the writer doesn’t get right is key scenes that help the whole narrative gel together. It’s a pity the director and writer didn’t do enough to capture what could’ve been untamed romantic passion.Īashiqui 2 is written by Shagufta Rafique and she’s got the gist of the story bang on. But in scenes of drunken slur and madness he’s quite the show stealer. Aditya is a little inconsistent he loses impact in a few scenes. She also gets the nervous disposition of her character perfect to a T. Shraddha excels in scenes behind the microphone and recording studios. Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor are near perfect casts for their roles.
The actors do well to shadow the disparity between the music and story. And on the other hand you have old school romantic music trying to amp up gen x emotions. On one hand you have your lead pair making out in public (with a jacket over the head) and a mother being concerned about her daughter’s live-in status. But they don’t gel with the dramatic themes of the narrative. But make no mistake, the music has quality and songs like Tum hi ho and Chahun main ya na are more than pleasant compositions. In age of techno beats and radio edits this sort of music feels a little out of place. The kind that made Nadeem-Sharavan famous.
#Shraddha kapoor aashiqui 2 movie
The movie has a big ’90s hangover a la the melody and instrument driven music. Mohit Suri’s film is an honest effort but it’s also a lacklustre affair. But the movie rolls in so many clichés that it becomes hard to give it any serious credit. It all seems fine on paper there are a few scenes which escalate into powerful drama as well. A musician falls for a girl, together they go through a whole jingbang of career, heartbreak and existential crisis etc. Cast: Aditya Roy Kapur, Shraddha Kapoor, Shaad Randhawa and Mahesh ThakurĪashiqui 2 may be billed as a sequel but it’s more like a reprised version of the 1990 hit, of course with minor changes here and there.
