Review of Love Aaj Kal (2009) by Muktadir S — 01 Aug 2009

Love Aaj Kal is about 2 very simple stories told in a very new and complex manner. Hats off to Imtiaz Ali for handling such a complex screenplay with such smoothness and with such ease. This is one movie that demands that when u go n watch it u take your sense and sensibility with u.

Itâ??s technically perfect. The way in the 1st half itâ??s such a big jig saw and the in the second half it slows down and lets u put things together is just amazing. Imtiaz is a genius. He has only grown as a director.

Music of this movie is outstanding. Loved Aaj Din Chadiya and Aahun Aahun. Simply outstanding. The dialogues are out of this world. So crisp and to the point.

Saif and Deepika have done an outstanding job. This is Saifâ??s second best performance (after Omkara). And with this movie Deepika has finally started acting. There is this one scene where she realizes that she needs to see Saif and sort things out before she can move on and she is having this conversation with Rahul Khanna. And the way she did it was just amazing.

As for Rishi Kapoor, well what can me or anyone say about him that hasnâ??t been said before? He is the lifeline of this movie. As predicted Saif and him created magic together. The new Brazilian model who plays the love interest of sardar Saif is also very good. Given the fact that she is Brazilian and still managed to convince everyone that she is Punjabi is a job well done in my books.

All said and done, this is one movie you canâ??t miss. Go watch it!
