Actually, AASHIQUI 2 is more of vintage stuff.

Although it would be unfair to compare Mohit with either Hrishi-da or Mahesh Bhatt, I must add that Mohit’s take on romance and heartbreak is compelling in entirety. At the same time, Mohit shoulders a colossal responsibility because the soundtrack was a game changer… it is, in fact, dew fresh to this date. This one prides itself with a contemporary plot, has far more complex and intricate drama and offers abundant scope to its lead actors to display histrionics. Like I stated at the very outset, AASHIQUI 2 bears no resemblance to its namesake. Aarohi decides to give up her career to be with Rahul, to help him come out of his disruptive predicament…

Gradually, Rahul and Aarohi fall in love…Īarohi’s career continues to sky-rocket, while Rahul’s career spirals downwards. Rahul takes it upon himself to make Aarohi a singing star, builds her confidence and even arranges for her audition with the music baron. Is Mohit Suri’s take on the lives of two singers as enchanting? Let’s analyze…ĪASHIQUI 2 traces the journey of a young couple and the turbulence in their lives… Rahul, a singing sensation, falls in love with the voice of Aarohi, who aspires to be a singer and sings at lowly joints. However, it’s important that AASHIQUI 2 lives up to the mammoth expectations, since AASHIQUI had worked for two significant factors - splendid music and strong emotional quotient. The Hollywood film/s is regarded as one of the most riveting heartbreak dramas to hit the silver screen. AASHIQUI 2 brings back memories of A STAR IS BORN, which was made thrice in Hollywood - in 1937, 19. That film was all about jealousy and ego clashes between a married couple, who are playback singers, while AASHIQUI 2 is entirely different. Talking of AASHIQUI 2, this one’s positioned in the current times and the only resemblance it has with the earlier part is that it’s a true-blue romantic saga.Īfter having watched AASHIQUI 2, I wish to clarify a pertinent point: AASHIQUI 2 is *not* the present-day avatar of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s cult classic ABHIMAAN. So why opt for a title like AASHIQUI 2? Follow-up of winning titles are easy to market for the reason that a victorious franchise bestows the film-maker that thrust, a certain brand value with a popular title, besides guaranteeing a potent start at the box-office even if it stars relative newcomers.

Nor does it set in motion from where the first part concluded. Nor is it a recreation of the successful film. A film that revolutionized the music industry then…įirst things first! AASHIQUI 2 is *not* a sequel. Since the past couple of years, Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt’s Vishesh Films has only invested in sequels: JANNAT 2, MURDER 3, RAAZ 3… but it’s after a really long gap, of 23 years to be precise, that the premier production house and Bhushan Kumar revisit one of their triumphant stories - AASHIQUI.
