" Aashiqui with Alcohol "
Aashiqui 2 is that movie after which you have to decide
How many shots of Vodka can you survive ? Aashiqui, the original title which came in the 90's was the prequel and not considered to be a remake though. Bhatt camp reform their musical 1990, Aashiqui, as a lovey - dovey story or you can say a saga and present you with this flick just to furnish the next generation to feel the power of love.
The film starts with scenes showing Rahul Jaykar ( Aditya Roy Kapoor ) aka RJ who is famous amongst the masses and now is at the verge of hatred towards his own fame. On the contrary he finds Arohi ( Shraddha Kapoor ) and takes a task on himself to build a great career for Arohi ahead in the music industry. Plugged as the musical motion of the year, director Mohit Suri actively pops
Sun raha hain na and
Tum hi ho again and again keeping you revolving around those love scenes making you feel
lovEnergy. Ahead, Arohi's focus remains at RJ and that of RJ on his alcohol. Later RJ's ego starts pricking him to see the rise of Arohi's bar and his absolute breakdown. Again alcohol takes over this alcoholic bastard and the ciné focuses around it right till the end.
As said earlier, the film starts with RJ's downfall initially ( as the movie gets it start by a song ) *
Not a Bad idea ! * but heavily drops when the song
Sun raha hain na literally gets repeated until it blows up your ears along with your head with hatred for it instead. Less attention has been given to RJ's backstory with no reasons for his breakdown. Aditya Roy Kapoor remains alcoholic in most of the parts, sober, bizarre and wooden faced throughout the film. Shaad Randhawa and Mahesh Thakur, the Bhatt camp favorites, doesn't get much canvas to perform and too some of the characters get the same roles as that in Awarapan which totally deserves the garbage bin and nothing else. Shraddha Kapoor is pretty but still boring when she keeps on shedding tears in some or the other movie parts.
Lastly it appears Aashiqui between RJ and alcohol than RJ and Arohi or a short documentary supported by some
" Quit Smoking and Alcohol programme. "
Aashiqui 2 becomes an endless romantic tale that somewhat works with those struck by cupid's arrow. Not quite unmissable, but
Aashiqui 2 has some good moments, and would be best enjoyed on DVD over a glass of alcohol. LOL.
