Love Aaj Kal movie poster
Director, Imtiaz Ali of Jab We Met fame comes up with another interesting love story Love Aaj Kal. Saif Ali Khan (Jai Vardhan Singh) and Deepika Padukone (Meera) are playing the lead roles in the film. The film is depicting love stories of two different eras i.e. love today and love yesterday as the film name indicates Love Aaj Kal.
The couple of today’s generation (2009) Jai and Meera live in London. They love each other but don’t believe in marrying. Jai says, “These Heer-Ranjha, Romeo-Juliet type janam janam ka saath type couples exist only in story books.” So when situations make them go in different directions, they decide to call off their relationship thinking that long distance relationshipsdon’t work.
However, in the love story of 1965, Veer Singh (Rishi Kapoor) falls in love with Harleen, when he sees her for the first time. The moment he swears that “is janam mein aur har janam mein… yehi meri votti banegi - Harleen Kaur.” Later to have just one glimpse of her, he travels thousand kilometers by train and yet don’t utter a single word to her. The young Rishi Kapoor is played by Saif.
Both the stories go simultaneously, which may cause confusion to the audience if they miss their attention. Well the two male characters makes thoughts about each other like Veer doesn’t understand how Jai can be so practical and handle the heart matters without any passion. However, in contrast Jai can’t understand how Veer can be so stupid and simple who travels miles to see Harleen.
The talented Imtiaz trying to show that how the relationship process is different for different eras, but at the end the experience of being in love remains same. Songs of the film like Aahun Aahun, Twist, Chor Bazari andYe Dooriyan being composed by Pritam are already making a rage. The filmis targeted for youth and it will make you fall in love of love once again.
