To Start with I have Noticed one thing That In all Imtiaz Ali Movies The main protagonist All always so Confused About their feelings and love!
I mean inJab we met we saw confused Karrena about her feelings for Shahid, In Socha Na ThaAbhay aand Ayesha about each other!
And now in Love Aaj kalDeepika and Saif again confused about what exactly they are gettin into!
Maybe This is Imtiaz’sForte to present "Confused Love" to his audience Which he handles very well must say!
Now comin toLove Aaj Kal!
The basic Plot -
It starts with a couple who’s livin together havin a Good time! But hey confused wether this is what a reltationship is! Infact a scene in it is soo cute where saif Ask Deepika" To Tum meri Girl friend ho right!!?:D " And Deepika in response Holds his hands!
Ok so now Both Saif n Deepika have to move to different locations Due towork commintements n thier ambitions! So the the couple splits as according to themLong distance relationship Doesnt work ! And act so cool after the break up as if nothings happened And they even have a break up party! But somewhere down the line both know that they are so addicted to each other That its not that easy! After the Split they are in constant touch with each other Via SMS n Emails !
Now there this Stranger played by Risshi kapoor, a Sardar, who comes to Saif and Narrates his story to Saif and how He fell in love with a girl so badly dat he coudlnt think of anyone else even bfore knowing her name Saif finds this Reallystupid!
Ok in the Flashback the young Rishi is also played By Saif Who falls in love with this girl Called Harleen! And the girl who played Harleen in the movie is still aMystery as her Name is not even featured in the credits! And shes been kept under wraps as amarketting statergy Maybe!
So now The movie is about how Saif and Deepika realise That still not over each other even after the split And also How saif understands what true Love is after listening to Rishi’s story!
Now Coming to the Other aspect of the movie!
1. Direction - I dont know why the direction of the movie Is not as Good as it was in case JMW or Socha Na tha but it is not bad either!
Just too much of expectations guess! In the movie U dont feel as much u felt for Kareena when shes in Delima in Jab we met but u dun feel for the charecter!
Howeva yea every couple will relate in some way or the other! But yea still Even Love aaj kal has its own Flavour of its own! And im not comparing the movie with JWM Coz its a different movie all together!
2. Acting - This is By farDeepika’sBest performance! She’s never looked So beautiful, So natural , So Amazin in short So dat says it all! I cant think of any1 playin the part Of Mira better than her!
Where as Saif is concerned He was verygood But he was much better in suchChoclate boy act In Hum Tum! Infact in the part where he plays The punjabi Sardar guy he doesnt seem that convincing I guess some one else should have played that part!
Even the girl Who played Harleen was amazin! And even Risshi kapoor in his biref appearance was Addorable! N yea the end has a suprise package:D!
3. Music - As every1 KnowsPritam has givin Such good Score, None of the songs are misplaced or jus for the sake of it in the movie! I personally loved the track Ye duriyaan !
4. Editing - This is the best part of the movie! TheFlashback and Presnt are RunningParallel In the movie And the that what makes the movie interesting And adds up to the narration!
5. Cinematography - The movie is shot in the best locations of delhi streets and Even the outdoor Locations are really Good!
