Man its been like 4 months since i have written anything but what do I do I just couldnt think of anything creative enough and at the same time funny enough to write. Not that this post is either of the both but atleast its my attempt to out do Mr Rajeev Masand ;) so here it goes
Love Aaj Kal - Movie Review - My Own (Unique) Style
The Cast Performance: Saif is just brilliant in his portrayal of Jai and also does a good job playing the sardar lover Veer (the younger Rishi Kapoor ), Deepika does a reasonable job playing Meera (Jais love interest) but pales in front of Saifs performance. Rishi Kapoor does justice to the role and i bet he could play this old lover boy reminiscing of his younger days character in his sleep. His performance is not to dissimilar to his role in Delhi-6. The Brazilian model Giselle Monteiro playing the Sardarni who is wooed by Veer (the Sardar Saif) looks nice and underplays the character perfectly. The credit for it is more with the director who captures their love story very well and more essentially just with gestures and expressions and very few dialogues.
The Story: The story is humorous as Hum Tum in parts and is told in the RDB style with the back story interspersed with the contemporary one. The story is about a no tension, funny but career oriented lover Jai who has a great romance with Meera a modern assertive and again career oriented girl. Jais life dream is to build bridges with this american firm and Meeras lifes passion is to revive frescos of indian monuments .
Both being practical people realize that long distance relationship dont work and hence split very amicably, even throwing a party to celebrate there break up. This leads to a funny sequence where their friends are left perplexed as to should they feel said or happy, how should they greet the couple happy breakup or i am so sorry for you and what gifts to buy for the party.
So they split and Meera moves to delhi, but both are in constant touch even guiding each other through how to get into a new relationship Meera with her new boss and Jai with some firangi...
Despite all this they fail to relaise they are soulmates so it takes a rishi kapoor to come in and tell Jai about his own story which is not to dissimilar to Jai, just that it is set in the old days in Delhi...
The old and new stories go parallelly and are told in the RDB style of narration. The old story is cute, has few words and takes a magical acting effort from Saif to pull off... Ok back to Jais story...Jai goes down to india, both he and meera have a time of life hiding from their current love interests and hanging out with each other... Yet they part ways again, just like practical people and Meera even ends up marrying her boss...
In all this Conspicuous by there absence is the families of both Jai and Meera and this is my biggest crib about the whole movie...
To know if they get back together if yes how and what leads them to do so..Well for that go catch the movie...you dont expect me to give it all away right here do you ;)
Remarks:Overall i give this movie 2.5/5 go see it for it clever humor and good story telling style...

Wat r u saying man....deepika can act...wow that shud have been headline today's breaking news ...
:P
but will try to catch up on this movie.....but honestly, i fell in love with that brazilian babe's desi avtar
some people liked jab we met , some didnt. I did and i just cannot compare Love Aaj kal to Jab we met ... its much more plain .
However one thing I loved about the movie was the way "Yeh Dooriyan" song was picturized ... how he is so excited at first and then how he totally loses it at some point of time.
Your review was a bit subdued. I would have expected a more subjective one from you :P ...
