CRITICAL ANALYSIS

The film is full of Twists, Turns and Jumps which keep's viewer's mind engrossed throughout. The film is mostly shot on one single location and doesn't give you a boring view at all. The screenplay and dialogues (Faisal Saif) of the film is so tight that it keep's giving you Jolt's in every next scene. Faisal Saif is the same director who directed Hrishitaa Bhatt's 2006 controversial 'Jigyaasa' which failed at the Box Office. This time, He brings a Psycho Thriller and has succeeded in grabbing viewer's attention through his story telling. Director Faisal Saif has executed each and every scene of the film brilliantly. It almost very hard to make a Scary Thriller but Saif has succeeded in making this. The taking of every shot reminds you of a Quentin Tarantino cinema. The second best part of the film is Background Score (Leonard Victor), The score grows on you with the moving story. Pakistani actress Meera is the pillar of the story. She is highly dramatic, menacing and yet manages to get the audiences root for her from the very beginning. Supporting her is debutant Abhishek Kumar who performs his part very well. He doesn't look like this is his debut film. Another debutant Kavita Radheshyam is a surprise packet of the story. She is the same actress who landed in controversy with her semi-naked photo shoot on Save Tiger campaign. Shahwar Ali, Nasser Abdulla and Ranjeet are very good in their respective parts. The songs of the film are good, But such Genre doesn't really required songs and dances. The Editing (Ashutosh) and camerawork (Sumesh K.Chandran) is crispy and outstanding. Production and technical values are fair.

TRADE ANALYSIS

The film is very less Publicized and less Promoted film. The film's with Zero awareness has only one hope tagged with them is word-of-mouth.The film is also Pakistani actress Meera's second bollywood come-back film, but she has been not come to India for the promotion of the film. According to sources she is in Pakistan and praying for Ramadan. Also Kavita Radheyshyam’s controversy is not able promote the film. While the film is the spice of all kinds.   

Ath  the Box Office 5 GHANTEY MIEN 5 CRORE should not be missed and only word of mouth publicity will help this film grow.

‘Love Aaj Kal’ marks the birth of production house Illuminati Films, owned by Saif Ali Khan and partner Dinesh Vijan. Sunil Lilla is the co-producer.

'Love Aaj Kal' as the name suggests is a story of two couples. Jab We Met fame director Imtiyaz Ali wan t to explaine that: Is love today different from what it was in the past when lovers like Laila-Majnu or Romeo-Juliet perished in each other’s arms? Today, in the age of online romance and one-night stands, many would say love is just a whirlwind. But no! ‘Love Aaj Kal’ will have you believe that certain things don’t change with the passage of time.

Jai (Saif Ali Khan ) and Meera(Deepika Padukone) is a modern-day couple in London. They are very happy together but do not believe in tying each other down. So when life pulls them in different directions, they decide to go with the flow. “These Heer-Ranjha, Romeo-Juliet type janam janam ka saath type couples exist only in story books”, Jai says. In the real life, we have to be practical. Love Kal Delhi, Calcutta - 1965. Veer Singh is struck by the thunderbolt when he sees Harleen for the first time. Soon after, he stands under a tree and swears that “is janam mein aur har janam mein… yehi meri votti banegi – Harleen Kaur.” He travels a thousand kilometers by train to stand under her balcony only to have a glimpse of her face. And yet not speak a word with her. Love Aaj Kal Veer does not understand how Jai can treat matters of the heart without passion, like a financial transaction. Jai does not understand how Veer Singh ( Rahul Khanna) could have been so naïve and silly about Harleen (Simran) in the days of his youth. But as both stories unfold, we realize that the process of relationship might be different in different eras, but the experience of being in love remains the same. So there is the frolic and despair of modern living. The liberation and confusion. And there is the past – the times of innocence and compulsion. And there is distance, and the fondness that increases with distance. Gaps widen between two people, but bridges keep growing too.

The first half does ramble a bit and takes time to build up into a riveting second half. But the alluring performances by the lead pair do cover up for the langorous bits. Deepika looks gorgeous and her wardrobe rocks, though the chemistry between Saif and Deepika is weak.Deepika is definitive and strong as Meera, the modern girl who has an individuality of her own. But it is Saif who renders so many shades to his character to make it seem so very real: confident, confused, careerist, homebody, fancy-free, foolishly in love. The movie also stars Rishi Kapoor, who is is spontaneous as the romantic Sardar. Watch out for his surprise in the climax. Neetu Singh and Rahul Khanna in significant roles. There’s also a cameo by a British model named Florence.
This film wastes little time in the boy meets girl part and is quick to get to the point. But the point could have been made in under two hours and ten minuts.
'Love Aaj Kal' it reminds viewers about 'Dilwaale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' The music of the movie is so-so good and the songs apt to the situation. But too many film formulas rolled into one makes 'Love Aaj Kal' a Cultural Cocktail instead of a Cult.At the watching movie many films name runs in viewers mind.It is fact that Imtiyaz disappointing his fans.
