Imtiaz Ali's films always have some qualities such as they are cool,breezy have modern characters at the same time rooted and some great music,Love aaj kal is no different.It's a movie which goes on a snail's pace but has elements that work as speedbusters. Such as songs.Songs can be so distracting in various movies but in his films songs are must and are so timely that they boost the energy of the film.This film has great music and some great romantic vibes.My favourite story of the film is particularly Rishi Kapoor's Backstory and Saif is excellent in that part,although in the film he plays much himself but he never disappoints saif no.Deepika brings some charm to the screen but that emotional depth is missing.Overall it has flawed characters,many unanswered questions and only focuses on two particular characters and tells nothing new,we all know love is the key,its the magic that this world runs on and it can be frustrating at times but still with these bumps love aaj kal comes up as smooth-sweet journey it starts off shockingly,alas being obvious, but you relate to those characters anyways. The biggest power of the film is its music.I am rating it 5 plus an additional star rating for its cool music which now and then lightens up the proceedings that makes 6 out of 10 for Love Aaj Kal its nothing new,nothing special,all predictable but despite these shortcomings it still comes out as pretty watchable.
