Movie review of Love Aal Kal

The story starts with a young, dynamic, dashing and heartthrob Jai Vardhan Singh who is rich and has a young and gorgeous girl friend Deepika Padukone, studying archeology and in her final year of graduation. Both of them don’t love each other but stays together for fun and platonic relationship. Both are opposite to each other in personality and both had faced many heart break in the past.

Jai’s coffee house friend plays an important catalyst to their love story goes and aflash back as Veer Singh tells him how he found his true love against all odds. This gives a lot of confidence to Jai in expressing his feeling to Meera.
Final Thoughts
This is the first onscreen presence of Sail Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone, both look very good with Deepika stealing the show from Saif Ali Khan. The movie is a good one time watch as Imtiaz Ali has made so so movies in the past with a weak storyline in this helping. The emotional scenes are the high points of the movie that keeps the audience glued to their seat. At times movie looses the track and becomes boring but music of the movie score well over the weak plot.
Rating
Love aaj Kal score 6 out of 10 purely because of on screen presence of the romantic couple Deepika Padukone and Sai Ali Khan with a sensational Pritam’s dance floor number.

Snapshot of the story

Movie Ratings and Reviews : Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Storyline
The story starts with the college days where Shah Rukh Khan as Rahul, Kajol as Anjali and Rani Mukherjee as Tina. Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan are always fighting with each other, play pranks but they are always best of friends. Kajol is a tom-boy and unlike other girls does not do any makeup and dress or the latest fashion to attract boys. Shar Rukh Khan is always behind girls and looking for a sweet heart. In comes the Rani Mukherjee as sweet, gorgeous and up to date with fashion and becomes Shah Rukh Khan’s friend. However, Anjali is in love with Rahul and want to tell his feeling. Jealous of Tina, Kajol also wants to dress like her to impress Rahul but hiding her feeling from him.
Finally Rahul tells his feeling to Tina and unable to bear this heart break Kajol goes ways from their life and does not contact either of them. Tina gives birth to a sweet baby girl but unfortunately dies during labor. Now Rahul is alone again with only his daughter.
There is portion of the story where Tina left a diary for her daughter about what happened in the college and how much Kajol used to love Rahul which Rahul was not aware of. This left a lot of question in that Tina was aware about her imminent death. Any way these is the part of Indian cinema where you are not supposed to think too hard but follow your heart rather than you brain.
Then start the series on how Rahul’s daughter turns the situation and makes arrangement so that both Kajol and Rahul can rediscover their love. But now Kajol is engaged with Salman Khan and is soon to be married. This is the time of high drama and emotional scenes.
Final Thoughts
Kukh Kukh Hota Hai did turn to be the mile stone for the debue director Karan Johar. KKHH has a great music score of 90’s with Jatin-Lalit with some unforgettable lyrics and songs. Lyricist Sameer wrote the romantics songs to add much charm this story. Yash Raj banner also showed faith in Karan Johar and he did not disappoint them. Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Kukherjee and Salman Khan all looked good and gave some of their best performances.
Rating
I give 9 out of 10 to Kukh Kukh Hota Hai for portraying brilliant on screen romance and heart touching emotional scenes.

Top Indian Romantic Movie: Kal Ho Naa Ho
Twist in the Tale
Kal Ho Naa Ho takes the tragic note until SRK becomes so ill and doctor advise him to a complete rest as he has only a few days left in his life. SRK wants both of them to patch and tie the knot. Movie has the sad end with the death of SRK. The theme of the movie is well portrayed that how a man who know that he is going to die but still teaches us a lesson to enjoy every bit of the life as there may not be a tomorrow.
On Screen Chemistry
Shah Rukh Khan was as good as ever but the emotional scenes leave the traces of overacting. Priety Zinta was gorgeous but Saif Ali Khan was wasted with a few dialogs. Some gay scenes in the movie and humor made audiences laugh a bit. Movie is one time watch.
Rating
I will give 7 out of 10 to Kal Ho Naa Ho for it’s romantic music, strong performance from SRK, fluent story telling. It does not have the strong storyline and they also did not reveal what life threatening disease Shah Rukh Khan had.

Movie: Dil Chahta Hai
Director: Farhan Akhtar
Time: 2001
Stars: Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Priety Zinta, Sonali Kulkarni and Dimple Kapadia
Snapshot of the story
Dil Chahta Hai is the story of three fun loving friends who are recently passed out of the college, unaware about the difficulties of the real world. They are very similar to any college pass-outs who likes to play pranks, make fun of any one and don’t know what to do in life. The story is all about their friendship, cracks in their friendship and their love life and how they find true happiness and friendship.
Debutant Director Farhan Akhtar Rocks with: Dil Chahta Hai
Storyline
The story starts with the graduation party and a chart topping number featuring all three stars Akash (played by Aamir Khan), Sameer (Saif Ali Khan) and Siddharth (Akshaye Khanna). In that party they meet Shalini (Priety Zinta) who came with her boyfriend. All of them has different sort of characters as Aamir Khan is real prankster and doesn’t take girls seriously whereas Sameer is completely opposite of Aamir Khan and get’s attracted towards every girl he meets. Siddharth is the most mature guy and an artist and painter.
From the start the movie manages to hold the audience to their seat; Dil Chahta Hai has some of the fantastic and exotic scenes of Goa as they go for their holiday. This short story period of Goa was very well shot and you will see some hilarious moments in the movie.
Story takes a serious turn as Aamir Khan’s has made comment of Akshaye’s friend Tara (Played by Dimple Kapadia) – a divorcee who wants him to make her a painting. All of them get busy in their life as Aamir Khan goes to Australia to take care of her father’s business, Akshaye Khanna find the painting workshop more lucrative to him and Sai Ali Khan still confused as what to do and in tangles with the girl friend. It took some time for Aamir Khan to realize that he had made a mistake that day which created a rift in their friendship. But soon as he comes back and makes up with Akshaye Khanna. On the nother hand Saif Ali Khan is dating Sonali Kulkarni as Pooja and will get married soon. Aamir Khan who was never looking like he will fall in love also starts dating Priety Zinta. This was also an interesting part of the story as he always denies to accept his feelings but had to do it in front of a huge number of people who came to Priery Zinta’s wedding.
On Screen Chemistry
Dil Chahta Hai is a fast paced movie and you will never feel that the director has made any error which is an appreciable debutant for director Farhan Akhtar. Music of the move is good and that would have you whistling even after leaving the cinema hall. Preity Zinta was beautiful and Sonali Kulkarni was looking as girl next door as always. Dimple Kapadia made a come back to screen after a long time and was looking charming as ever.
Rating
I would give 9 out of 10 for Dil Chahta Hai for brilliant story telling, fantastic screen play, exotic locations of Australia considering it if the first movie of Farhan Akhtar. Aamir Khan was awesome as ever and all the trio looked exceptional.
