Movie Review:: Aashiqui 2 :: Shines with loads of non-eww romance :: 3.5/5

Cast: Aditya Roy Kapur, Shraddha Kapoor (4/5)

Aditya Roy Kapur is the killer substance of this film and scores absolutely in the mushy scenes. He not only manages to impress with his selfless-hopeless romantic side, he also delivers brilliantly while portraying the Self-destruction and alcoholic phase.

Shraddha Kapoor's innocent face does half the work for her and acting wise not a let down. She maintains her charm & poise through out. Her b'ful melted eyes every-time makes you believe in the rare devotion, she has for her alcoholic lover...

The awesome chemistry between Aditya and Shraddha manages to create a feel of fluttering butterflies-in-your-stomach.

Director: Mohit Suri (3/5)

Story is predictable and ends on a sad note (which I always dislike as I love happy ending love stories..). Script falls after interval, loses all its energy  and romance, and also ends with anti-climax. 

Some scenes like hilarious journalist in second half, were really unnecessary. The Director invested too much into the actors and their romance, passion and pain, but didn't take the story much further. A good screenplay could have done wonders for the movie.

It was a good brave attempt and he never lost his control over the drama, which could have made it a melodrama. He cleverly avoided over-the-top romantic scenes, unnecessary skin show and lust.

Music: (4.5/5)

This movie is musically brillient and Nadeem Shravan's best work till date. Arijit Singh's 'Tum hi ho..', Shreya's 'Sun raha hai na...', and Tusli Kumar's 'Hum maar jayenge' all were awesome and they worked really well within the context of the film. 

The film has a lovely flow (except for the abrupt last 10 minutes) despite being 15-20 minutes longer than I would have liked it.
Every moment when Aditya and Shraddha look into each others eyes, you tend to believe unconditional love, selfless love, true love still exists !!!
Though flawed, it manages to reach out to your heart, wholeheartedly....
