Love aaj Kal

Tu hamesha correct baat boldethi hi jaanemann!!

So says Saif's character to Deepika's character in Love aaj kal...& lets just assume that's being said to me about this part ;)..

Its been a while since I saw the movie and now I think is the right time to write on it...
Lotta people loved the movie..(thats OBVIOUS..looking at the BO collections) .. Lotta people dint like the movie too (he he..strange how there are all kinds of people!) . I dont set store by the box office cos..well Kambakht Ishq is huge and it was a critical disaster..even reading the story gave me the creeps..leave alone see it! I do go by reviews though..LAK had some mind blowing reviews..some okay ones..I was totally confused on seeing the mind-blowing reviews actually, I dint quite get what they intended to say..Then, I saw the movie..n did I LOVE it or what!!

Lemme go into the fan-girly mode and go on and on about the movie...
It was a beautiful movie with so many layers, subtle sub-texts, some mind blowing scenes, great conversations, some amazing emotions, some great acting and some great lookers!! *wew..I said all that in one go!!*
High points *****
* The 2 parallel tracks..both culminating into similar ends
* Awesome Saif's changing emotions in various scenes...
The scene where Rishi Kapoor asks about Meera to Jai after the casual break-up n the way Saif's expression go from..all's
well to OMG whats happening to looking down right upset..
The shaadi scene where Deepika speaks to Saif and he finally goes..u always force me to do thinks I dint want to like going
shopping n stuff..Why dint u just tell me u wanted to get married then may be we could be married now?
The way older saif waits under the Balcony for a glimpse of Harleen ..the tea sequence..his happiness ..
The way he goes through a gamut of emotions from high to low in the course of a song
The way he realises its Meera when he is mugged
* Certain Deepika gems
Her Earth stopping smile
Her way of poking him
Her earnestness, practical yet sentimental nature.
That one scene where she checks herself out in the mirror..
The scene where she realises, talks to him on the phone and stops herself for his good...
Her drinking that black tea without sugar....
Oh the way she waits for him not knowing whether he'd return (well thats for the character Meera)
Tu hamesha hi correct baath bol dethi hai jaaneman!!

It had such a breezy feel to it.. Its the same old story, where the young hep hero (n heroine) are not believers in true love and forever together until they fall in love..n how!!!

There could be detractors mainly cos
* its old wine in a new bottle (but I saw what a rocking bottle and subtle variations in the wine and ..isnt old wine the best?)
* Married heroine ditched her husband (this may be a little too much for conventional thinking folks..but What the hell is she supposed to do, she made a mistake, she loves someone else..!)
* Slow pace..blah blah (I dint realise..so I cant say)

So why am I explaining on the negative points cos I just loved the movie and want to defend it whether right or wrong :))

To me this is how Love aaj kal is...just like Love aaj kal (the movie) ..
