Pre-released publicity for the latest bollywood flick of Aditya Chopras Mohabbatein was tremendous. Moreover releasing the movie on the same day of his contemporary Vidhu Vinods Mission Kashmir, Aditya played a big gimmick of its publicity in the media. Thus the war started....
The lead casting is also very powerful cause of ever green Amitabh Bachchan plus Shahrukh along with the glamour queen Aishwariya.....But the story of the movie failed miserably. It is beyond doubt that picture halls received a full house crowd during the first week of its release but it was a short phased and soon picture halls started running the movie infront of empty seats. Now even the Amitabhs role of reciting gyatri mantra with his chappal on started earning criticism from various religious groups.
Amitabh is shown as a religious old principal of Gurukul who is adamant to change to flexibility and follows his customs and traditions very seriously. He is so strict that he is not afraid to ruin the career of his students at their single mistake also. Merciless poor fellow na?.
He ruined the career of Shahrukh, who was also a student of Gurukul cause he dared to fall in love with his daughter Aishwariya. Ash killed herself and after many years Shahrukh came back to Gurukul as a music teacher to take his revenge by defeating the strict old man. Ooh too much!
