Love Aaj Kal is a confounding film about confused people. Perhaps writer-director Imtiaz Ali was attempting to have the storytelling reflect the emotions of his leads.

Why was this movie made? What kind of relationship gyaan were you trying to give? What are the exact problems that the protagonists face?

With Love Aaj Kal starring Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan, which is a sort-of remake of his own film of the same name from eleven years ago, Imtiaz Ali has done what few believed was even possible hes made a love story that…

Love Aaj Kal is an audacious, if flawed, ode to love as a quest for happiness and self-realization that often triggers conflicting emotions and unsettling impulses but never fails to enrich the soul.

Love Aaj Kal serves as a superficial testimony to modern day romance – if this is what modern love looks and feels like, no thanks, we want none of it.

Earnest performances from the cast aside, the Bollywood love story comes across as tedious

Writer-director Imtiaz Ali narrates the 2020 Love Aaj Kal in the same format as his hugely successful directorial in 2009 by the same name. However, the love stories are fresh with different set of conflicts that vary with time.

On the whole, Love Aaj Kal 2020 is a major disappointment. It will not be able to keep the large mass base of audience happy.

If you had apprehensions about a brand new film being called by an old name, made by the same director, you were right.

What is this thing called love? The question has exercised the imagination of philosophers (“Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods”: Plato) and pop lyricists (“What is love?

First thought that comes to your mind after watching Imtiaz Ali’s Valentine’s Day offering, Love Aaj Kal is what could have prompted the filmmaker to tell a decade old story again, with modern characters who are messed up…

Ali uses a bit from each of his films, few traits from Rockstar's Janardhan, a sprinkle of Cocktail's Deepika, another way of narrating stories in a story after Tamasha & much more

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.
