Review of Love Story 2050 (2008) by Harshada R — 07 Jul 2008

'What? the party is over?" asks Harman Baweja and the answer is: 'Yes the party is over. In fact it never began'. Love Story 2050 has everything that a movie shouldn't have. a hero who can do everything (he wins a cycle race, despite riding a cycle for the first time) and it has a heroine who runs after butterflies in the park.

The characters surrounding them are one-dimensional. Also neither the hero or heroine seem to have any friends. Guys get real. The dude and the chick are from Australia and they only have morons for friends, who only hang around to either go on roller coaster ride with them or tease them abt their love story.

What's worse? they take u 42 years ahead! the few things that the director does to convince u that this is 2050 include the heroine's red hair, flying cars and robots. BTW one has to hand it to harry baweja for making it possible to make even robots act like annoying idiots.

And the pink toy that Priyanka has called Boo is postively ugly! There is a evil Dr Hoshi, who wants the time machine, but the good guys fight him off. Unfortunately we never get to see the face of this evil doctor, who's behind a weird mask.

you can only see a bald head. Personally, I think the baweja's had spent so much on the movie that they couldn't afford to get a human looking villian, so they put a junior artist behind the mask and shot with him.

The movie basically has been made to prove that beta baweja can dance, act, jump over fences, woo the girl, do dishum-dishum. But that we got to know that even Imran Khan can do in jaane tu... ya jaane na.

Of course Jaane... is a far more enjoyable experience. So if you are heading for Love Story 2050, check out if Jaane tu... ya Jaane na is playing in the next screen, and go for that instead. You won't regret your decision.
