Aashiqui 2 movie review: what critics say (10)
What critics say Critics are largely negative: 2 of 10 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 6 gave it 2 or less. Criticised: the script.
The more I see these so-called love stories with promising beginnings and then wandering about, not knowing what to do with themselves, the more I wonder whether present day Bollywood has any idea of making real romances any more.
The problem is that once we are invested in these people, Suri doesnt take the story much further. It becomes over-wrought, repetitive and ultimately, boring. The film however, never becomes more than the sum of its parts.
Aashiqui 2 is riddled with syrupy inanities that add up to insubstantial treacle. No amount of surface gloss can salvage it. The film is obviously meant for a youth audience, which is probably not the easiest segment to inveigle.
Read the full reviewThe heroine here, a playback artiste, manages to become a singing sensation in very little time. Fans request her for autographs. She doesnt lose her mind to personal ambition, is quite centred still.

Read the full reviewThere are so many WTF moments in the film that you start losing count. Beginning with the basic understanding of the lead characters. Neither Rahul nor Aarohi look like singers.
Aashiqui 2 audience rating and reviews
How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
