Do not, under any circumstances, watch Love Aaj Kal. If you read a good review of the film, you can safely assume that the reviewer was paid to praise it, and handsomely so. If you're bored, go eat out, meet old friends, rediscover the city's rich heritage. Heck, sitting at home and staring at your feet is a better way to pass time.
Awful movie. What were they thinking? What were they trying to show? I am a kid of this generation and I couldn't identify with any of the emotions in the movie! (But then I am a bit of an aunty on the inside).
I went in with super-low expectations. I kept giving it the benefit of doubt thinking that it will get better. And it did for about two minutes post-interval. Then downhill again.
Why does Saif Ali Khan have a double role? Try as he might, he did not fool anyone into thinking he could act (like a sardar). Deepika Padukone's acting seemed okay compared to Saif Ali's but that's only because the bar was set so low in the first place.
First Luck, now this. I don't think I'm going to be watching any movies in the theatre anytime soon.
Anyway, if you do happen to see it (I can't imagine why you would but...), I suggest you watch 'Mean Girls' ASAP afterwards to restore your faith in cinema.
