When I opt for a Karan Johar film, I want that stuff that he does best The possibly beautiful people, the lovely foreign locations, the humongous homes, the songs and the dances, the zardozi and the flash in spades.
What I also want is the heightened emotions and the messy love you hate you can’t live without you moments that he manages to create in his most felt work.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil scores high on the first count. You an’t better looking actors than Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bacchan And Anushka Sharma and Fawad Khan. You can’t get more atmospheric cities than London and Paris. And instead of New York, There’s Vienna. So far all slurp worthy.
