Didn't realise it had been a really long time i wrote something other than Java code...like, kind of, i was in a techie reality show ' I am a developer, get me out of here'!...
anyways, the point of writing this piece is my recent viewing of 'Love Aaj Kal'.
A new drama-romantic-comedy by 'Socha Na Cha' - Imtiaz - 'Jab We Met' - Ali.
An above average movie which is on its way to be the first true blockbuster (in my opinion) of 2009.
The movie starts with a breakup followed by a party to celebrate the breakup (both in london) followed by a link up (their meet in delhi) followed by a party (new year party near Qutub Minar) immediately followed by a break up at the same party followed again by a linkup at her marriage in Delhi followed again by the breakup (for an year, he's in San Francisco and she in Delhi) and FINALLY to be linked up at DELHI....bloody hell!
Rest of the things like Rishi Kapoor's 70's flashback story (good) and songs (Pritam's best) happen in between the above sentence.
Now, don't come to the conclusion that the movie is bad just by judging my above statement. It's okay. Just that it missed the so-called 'The' factor from it's screenplay.
The cast and the crew are just fine. Only one thing captivated me. Brazil babe, Giselle Monteiro playing Rishi's 70's Harleen. Exactly 2 lines to deliver, not a rocket science to master. But, but her innocently beautiful eyes mouthed like a thousand words and you just have to do ONLY one thing. Shut up and Stare!
Kudos to Ali for the street-dialogues which actually helped the film thru this break up/link up marathon. The movie's heart lies at the right place...just that it's blood circulation (meaning screenplay) which intermittently breaks and links (meaning editing) really get on your nerves giving an ache.
Watchable.
Rating: 3/5
