Love Story 2050 is a 2008 Indian Hindi-language science fiction-romance film starring producer Pammi Baweja and director Harry Baweja's son Harman Baweja, and Priyanka Chopra. It is Bollywood's first utopian time travel film.
Karan Malhotra is a spirited and happy-go-lucky boy who does not follow the rules. Sana is the opposite of Karan: a sweet and shy girl who lives life by the rules. Even though they are completely opposite, they fall in love, leading to a magical love story.[3]
A scientist, Dr. Yatinder Khanna, has dedicated 15 years of his life in building a time machine. Sana expresses a wish to time-travel to Mumbai in the year 2050, but she is killed in an accident before her marriage to Karan. Karan wishes to travel back in time and find Sana. Dr. Yatinder, Karan, and Sana's siblings, Rahul and Thea, travel forward in time and reach Mumbai in 2050. They are fascinated by the futuristic Mumbai, with its flying cars, holograms, robots, 200-story buildings and more.
Twists and turns lead to the introduction of Ziesha, the reincarnation of Sana. Ziesha is a popular singer in 2050 who does not remember her past life, but gets flashbacks of it after meeting Karan. Unlike Sana, Ziesha is an arrogant, headstrong and rebellious girl who does not believe in love. She leads a lonely life after the death of her parents, which has embittered her.
Karan and the others find themselves under the threat of the demi-god, Dr. Hoshi. After Karan tells Ziesha he loves her, he is taken away from her by the guards. Ziesha does not believe him when he tells her about his time travel. However, after reading Sana's diary, Ziesha ultimately remembers her past life. Karan returns to her and she declares her love for him and tells him she is Sana. Dr. Hoshi tries to capture Karan because he wants the time machine. After a wild attempt to catch Karan and Ziesha, Hoshi crashes into a nuclear substance truck and dies. Karan goes back to 2008 in the time machine with Ziesha and the rest of his family. Everyone is overjoyed to see their beloved Sana again and Karan proposes to her.[3][4]
The film draws on the story of the 1991 Telugu film Aditya 369; while the Telugu film deals with travel to the past as well as dystopian post-apocalyptic future, Love Story 2050 is exclusively about travelling to a utopian future-city of Mumbai in the year 2050. It is Bollywood's first utopian time travel film.
Priyanka Chopra played a dual role, for which, she had to color her hair twice, once red to portray the girl from the future and then black. The red-haired look was inspired from Baweja's sister, Rowena Baweja's painting, which portrayed women of today and tomorrow. The script of Love Story 2050 inspired her to do the painting.[13]
For example, a scene in Love Story 2050 with Harman Baweja hanging off the front of a rollercoaster, asking out Priyanka Chopra on a date is reminiscent of a scene in The Notebook. Kismat Konnection is a version of Just My Luck and pretty much anything Priyadarshan does in Hindi is a remake of a Malayalam movie, Bhool Bhulaiya being the most recent one.
The VFX in films these days (yawn Adipirurush) and the story just makes me respect that film. It had some decent VFX and the cringe story was still better than many tiger Shroff films and the 7 year long developed film Brahmastra. The acting was decent by Harman baweja too, much better than the new generation of actors today. Cinema has regressed to such a level that people are now appreciating Ra.One, so lets give this much hated film some appreciation too because if people can praise Brahmastra saying it's showing india, then these guys made a futuristic Indian back when Indian films couldn't dream of that scale. Thanks for coming to my ted talk
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, we have a winner! No no, the film is indeed ghastly, but it does feature one of the most atrociously graphic and bizarre bits of innuendo in Bollywood history. Boy, trying to tell Girl that her life is boring, likens it to a hot dog. Yes indeed. And instead of saying it lacks relish or mustard, he says -- hold your breath and believe me, this is a literal translation -- 'your life is like a hot dog without a sausage.'
Seeing the director string out this painfully contrived bit of pap almost makes you wish he had ripped another movie off. Oh, of course it's derivative enough already, but at least he could have had a coherent storyline instead of this hideously hackneyed pile of futuremush. Then again, mini-Hrithik would make a pretty bad Michael J Fox too.
Okay, you say, feeling a little bad for the actors -- you should, really -- but are the much-hyped special effects any good? Oh yes they are. The SFX in Love Story 2050 is pretty darned spectacular, and the fact that an Indian film can now look this impressive is a massive confidence boost for all those now planning to head in sci-fi directions. One wishes, however, that they were equipped with more script and less look-at-me ambition, for that'd lead to this sort of monstrosity: an effects-heavy monster that has no idea how much flash is good for it. Oh, the waste, the waste.
What about the kids, you ask hopefully, won't the children enjoy it, perhaps? Fat chance. While Pri looks hot as a Mortal Kombat character while playing Xbox 360 (in 2050? That's Microsoft development schedule for you, I guess), kids are gonna loathe this. They have DVDs, games and, heck, local TV channels that entertain them more on a daily basis than this. And no, they aren't likely to gush about the talking teddybear who Priyanka routinely 'punishes' with a kick on the backside. (Same frankfurter-lovin' scriptwriter, yeah?)
The story -- since a few may inexplicably, masochistically, still be curious -- is set in Australia in 2008, where after Boy and Girl enjoy a rather pre-teen kinda romance, one of 'em pops it. The other sets off in a time machine to Mumbai in 2050, on a hunt for the -- wait for it -- reincarnated better half.
Nope, no kidding. Apparently, the machine is set only to that date. Of course, on reaching 2050 the fact that the machine can now travel back to four days ago and save the partner doesn't strike anybody -- including mad doctor Boman who, despite being 42 years out of his depth, acts as an oracular authority on all things futuristic, seconds after landing there. Anyway, the reincarnated romantic is found, easily accessed, eventually convinced and all things look set to head back to 2008... except there's an inconsequential masked villain looming over things. Groan.
We can understand why Harman Baweja pinned all his hopes on Love Story 2050, and we also get what Harry Baweja (credited with story and direction) wanted to achieve with this one. But why Priyanka Chopra chose to sign the dotted line after reading this script, is beyond us.
Love Story 2050, starring Priyanka and Harman in the lead, turns 12 on July 4, 2020. And given how trying this self-isolation has been, we masochistically went for a re-watch of this nearly three-hour-long film. And our feelings about the film hasn't changed in these 12 years.
Then there was the massive scale on which the film was to be made. In 2008, Love Story 2050's graphics work was impressive. Made on a budget of Rs 60 crore, the film did make us hopeful for the future. No, not the future they showed in the film - that was atrocious - the future of Indian cinema, the technological advancement that lay ahead of us, and the sheer amount of monies that would be poured into films.
The film basically wanted to cater to everyone - kids, grown-ups, sci-fi movie lovers, humans, and humanoids. But it managed to impress no one. A talking teddy bear was strategically placed as Priyanka's friend, obviously to touch a chord with the kids, but do kids fancy grown-ups talking to stuffed animals? Perhaps the scriptwriters did not take that into consideration.
The character of Priyanka was infantilised. Again, we believe it was done to appeal to the PG-13 audience. Here, PeeCee spoke like a replica of Hannah Montana, which, honestly, wasn't needed to further the story - if you find a story, that is.
As for the story, the punarjanam angle isn't new to Hindi cinema. But the time machine was. When man decided to go from Australia 2008 to Mumbai 2050 in a time machine to find his beloved reincarnated, it did pique our interest. We are even willing to ignore the stereotype of the Einstein-looking mad scientist, played by Boman Irani, because, of course, you need a mad scientist to build a time machine. Hollywood movies have taught us well. But whatever little story they had, to begin with, either drowned under Anu Malik's music - and there are some really long, really boring songs in the film - or hid behind Harman's incessant need to be Hrithik at all time.
It is not for nothing that Love Story 2050 proudly claims a position in IMDb's list of Worst Bollywood Films ever. In terms of the box office collection, it was a disaster too. It barely made Rs 18 crore, despite having invested Rs 60 crore.
The screening of Heropanti 2, starring Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria, was a star-studded affair. The guest list included Jackie and Ayesha Shroff, Disha Patani, Sanjana Sanghi, Elli AvRam, Aayush Sharma among others. We also spotted Love Story 2050 actor Harman Baweja at the film's screening in Mumbai on Thursday night. The actor was dressed in a fairly casual outfit. He topped a pair of blue denims with a black t-shirt. Harman Baweja has starred in films such as What's Your Raashee?,co-starring Priyanka Chopra, Victory and Love Story 2050, also starring Priyanka Chopra, all of which were box office debacles.
The trailers promise that Love Story 2050 will be sci-fi done in the best traditions of Bollywood. There are futuristic sky trails and energy ball battles. One of its songs, Milo Na Milo, which is currently climbing the charts, features an army of all-singing-all-dancing robots.
