Imtiaz Ali has been offering quite enterprising love stories since his debut with Socha Na Tha .His latest flick 'Love Aaj Kal' fells way too short .. Saif turns producer , plays a safe bet , and generates an old wine in a new bottle.
The film revolves around two parallel tracks , one in the past (vintage Kolkatta) and one in the present (London)
The present day corny reels has Deepika and Saif in a non-committal relationship , hanging around , partying and boozing streets of London.
The gags just fall flat from Saif and I just felt bored in the first hour , with the film meandering to no definite denouement.
Deepika is simply expressionless , she might need to give some competition to Sania Nahiwal in the near future :).
The second hour of the film has quite a few moments worth noting , where the saving grace is Saif's potrayal of a quintessential sardar and his innocent love for a Kaur girl.
The songs of the movie have a Pritam stamp written all over , and Mohit Chauhan has definitely arrived post-silk-route , Ye Dooriyan being my pick.
In a nutshell ,
I felt a sense of inadequacy and yearned for Shahid-Kareena enchantment...
Rating : 3.0 /5.0
