AASHIQUI 2 CAST HOW TO

Kapoor also does a tad better than her earlier outings, but is patchy. Roy Kapoor shows he has mettle: I was wondering about that after his turns in Action Replayy and Guzaarish, bad films both, but his potential is clear in this one. And the best part of this film is these two trying out each other for size, despite an embarrassing meet-cute.

AASHIQUI 2 CAST HOW TO

Mohit Suri knows how to get lovers to start off the blocks. And then comes the Abhimaan-like arc, as the two deal with obscurity, fame and heartbreak, and it all becomes mothballed. But he is not so soused that he cant spot talent: he hears Aarohi sing in a shady Goa bar, and knows she is the next best thing. For reasons that are never explained, Rahuls constant companion is alcohol. Aarohi Shirke (Shraddha Kapoor) is a girl who worships Lata Mangeshkar and wants to be a singer. Rahul Jaykar (Aditya Roy Kapur) is a singer fighting his demons, with the help of good pal (Shaad Randhawa). And this, along with a story that starts with some lift and then dips makes the new film a messy meander. No single song of the new Aashiqui leaps out at you. But this time around, it is not as distinctive, and thats because the Bhatts may have become victims of their own created template of sufi-soft-pop-cum-rock. Aashiqui number 2 has similarities with the first: the Bhatts are co-producers along with Bhushan Kumar (son of the slain T series magnate Gulshan, who was responsible for the phenomenal success of the originals music, still bouncing about in playlists). So did that instantly-recognizable image of young-lovers-under-jacket. Aashiquis soundtrack became all the rage. The songs came first, the movie came after. And a pair of new faces, artfully hidden under a jacket, for the purposes of a poster. Indian Express Rating: ** More than 20 years ago, the Bhatts crafted a blockbuster out of a string of songs sung by fresh voices. Cast: Aditya Roy Kapur, Shraddha Kapoor, Shaad Randhawa
