Film Review
It is a "Not-so-New" Hindi movie, that I watched night before last night. Love aaj Kal, starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone. My boys (yes both of them) love the songs form the movie, they were big hits at the New year's Eve Party and still soothes my cranky one year old in the car.
The movie has a fresh feel to it and the humor was also likeable. The way 2 stories are woven together from 2 generations is also something new. I liked everything about the movie except how they treat the bond of marriage. The bride(Deepika) realizes after 3-4 days of marriage (may be on her honeymoon) that she has made a wrong decision in not marrying Saif but somebody else and decides to separate and wait for him till he realizes his love for Deepika and return. That was ridiculous to me. They call the marriage off as f it was another part of courtship. After 2 years of dating you marry someone just to call it off because you feel like talking/seeing your Ex boyfriend who has moved (at least for now) to pursue his dreams. Marriage is a sacred ritual and a commitment for life in Hindu culture and not just an agreement on paper. Except for that part, the movie was a wonderful effort to exploring human emotions in the current generation.
It is a must see - Catch it!
