Title - Love Aaj Kal
Star Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rishi Kapoor, Fagun Thakrar...
Music: Pritam, Salim-Sulaiman
Story, Screenplay, Direction: Imtiaz Ali
Performances:
Saif rocked in both the characters. Though Jai's character had more screen space, I personally liked Saif's portrayal as Veer Singh. He looked manly for the first time in that character. But his dances were a bit funny though improved a lot than before. Deepika Padukone carried the role with lot of ease and she looked too good in this film. Her smile is amazing and so cute. Rishi Kapoor excelled as usual. Fagun Thakrar as Harleen is lovely and looked tender which is required for the role. Others did well too.
Story, Screenplay, Direction:
Director selected a different plot and narrated it in utmost interesting manner. The way he interlaced Rishi Kapoor's love in imagination of Saif and the present love story is very much impressive. Screenplay is tight and engaging. Direction is trendy and first class. He also conveyed a message that every or any problem can be solved if we move forward instead of feeling the pain out of it and ruin life.
Music:
Songs are good. Background music is excellent and soul lifting.
Cinematography by Nataraja Subramaniam is very good. Editing is excellent, not even a scene looked dragged. Dialogues are too good.
Final Word:
Definitely worth a watch for the plot, performances and music. This is a differrent love story about inconsistency in the thoughts of today's generation towards love. GO watch it and you will like it.
