Love aaj kal is a beautiful movie compares love of the yesterdays and todays. The movie is about jai played by saif and meera played by deepika are in a relationship for two years but they break off their relationship as meera prepares to go to India to pursue her career in old historical places restorations whereas jai waits in London with a hope of getting his dream job in San Fransico’s Golden Gate Co.
The couple though broken off decides to keep in touch via net and phone calls and continue to remain friends. Restaurant owner veer Singh played by rishi kapoor is a silent observer to their break up process since it happens in his restaurant.
Unable to bear the far too casual approach related to affairs of heart of the couple, he tries to convince a reluctant jai that he is making a mistake. Sensing that he is not taking him seriously, Veer then starts narrating him his own love story with harleen kaur played by dont remember the name, which took place far back in Delhi. From there begins the unfolding of these two love stories running parallel together which incidentally end up with a similar culmination after many twists and turns which also are similar despite the different period zones.
Imtiaz the director succeeds in providing an extremely different love story that we have never witnessed before, the screenplay is indeed full of surprises, music of pritam as best as ever, songs are superb specially the one sung by rahat, but the the ending more or less predictable.
Nice performances of both Saif and Deepika. Saif has always been at ease playing the cool dude, and as well as the romantic Sardar Veer Singh very well. Deepika looking extremely attractive and effortlessly portraying her complex character. Rishi Kapoor is extremely loveable as the mature Veer Singh. Girl playing the character of harleen manages to speak volumes just through her expressions. Rahul Khanna in a special appearance is good and suits the character perfectly well.
A movie not to be missed.
