Rahul and Anu Verghese meet on the same day, while both are held by the police on charges of creating a disturbance, and running away respectively. They meet again, and love happens. Rahul helps Anu to be independent, and seek a job. Then Anu is discovered by a talent agent to be a model, which she accepts. Rahul wants to marry Anu, but first must establish himself.
I give it 6 out of 10, because the movie portrays two young, innocent characters, capturing their romance, strengths and weaknesses in their budding relationship. While watching this movie since 1990 and up till today, Bollywood movies today are incomparable to Aashiqui. This movie captures the romance of two innocent, young lovers...Which is why I gave additional bonus points for this classic movie. You can't find a good quality, innocent romantic movies in this generation without sex.
The music definitely makes up the flaws of this movie. It's flawless. Even to this date, there is no other music that is elegant and timeless such as the music featured in this movie. The soundtrack is what made this movie famous and a success. It had garnered bonus points, because of the soundtrack. It ranked fourth place on Planet Bollywood's Top 100 list for a reason: It's worth listening to.
On the other hand, the acting is very "bland"...I also have no words to describing the characters' enthusiasm to their skills in dancing. It was very tasteless and there was no "oomph" in their moves. It's very upsetting to see two reasonable looking actors, that fit the image of the decent characters very well, but yet their acting was below average. A disappointment on both Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal. I could only compliment on Dipak Tijori and Reema Lagoo for their acting skills. They deserve bonus points on their supporting roles.
In addition to the disadvantages, the movie was set up in a chronological order: Boy meets girl, they fall in love, there are obstacles where they can't meet each other and they finally live happily ever after. Very traditional. Very Bollywood...With a few twists and turns. You just know what was going to happen next.
In conclusion, the high verdict is mostly based on the timeless soundtrack and the innocent romance of two young lovers that are deeply in love. If you're looking to pass time with your loved one and curling up to watch this movie or feel like falling in love all over again, watch it...But I wouldn't say it's a must-see. Skip it if you feel like it...You're not missing out on too much. But the music is very much worth listening to.
One thing that I love about this movie is the music. It is beautiful. I can guarantee you, that generations to come will be listening to this music long after we have all left this world. There is something eternal and evergreen about the soundtrack.
That being said I feel that the movie in no way reflects the sheer genius of the music. One can see tiny glimpses of coping from the movie Rebel Without A Cause throughout the entire narrative, the obvious being the scene in the police station at the being of the movie. In fact the entire narrative seems contrived and stiff.
Rahul and Anu did the best that the could do with their cardboard characters.
While the music will remain eternal, I predict that Aashqui the movie will fade into obscurity in the years to come.
Aashiqui is a musical romantic drama film directed by Mahesh Bhatt. The film stars Rahul Roy, Anu Aggarwal, Deepak Tijori, Late Reema Lagoo, Late Tom Alter, Mushtaq Khan and Avtar Gill.
Two strangers falls in love and decides to get married however they have to overcome the obstacles in the way.
We have seen many films on the similar platform and similar plot and with almost the similar execution and same is the case with this film. The execution, screenplay and the climax is predictable and apart from the melodious music nothing is that exciting in the film and only it's the soothing music which keeps the viewers engaged.
Acting is decent and one can easily guess the immaturity in the acting of Rahul Rai and this was mainly because it was his debut film. Anu Aggarwal was impressive but the most impressive of them all was Deepak Tijori, he played the character of friend of the lead hero perfectly and he was so accurate that while watching the film myself felt that I must also have such friend.
Screenplay was average and mostly predictable but the mesmerizing music on regular interval will keep you engaged. Climax of the film is predictable.
Overall a super predictable film with evergreen mesmerizing music.
