God! You have to see to know, what… but whatever said and done RJ looks good, the woman is also fine but a bit too naive.
Finally after overhearing a conversation between her and the company director, RJ next morning says he will change go the gym, diet and start a new life. Obviously that doesn’t happen and soon he bashes up a journalist for asking uncomfortable questions about him and Arohi, and kinds himself in jail. RJ promises to behave and give up alcohol. They go out leaving the world and sing songs, till her manager reaches to scold her. She stands by him, because she loves him. Phew! Again struck by jealously and bouts of craziness, he throws her out of his home as he leads himself to the path of self-destruction, drinking endlessly. They fight make up and then fight again, finally they make love. But he gets carried away by random people gossiping about him and his girlfriend is plain stupid. RJ’s character is weird he is alcoholic… fine. So she moves ahead becomes a huge star overnight as RJ dabbles with alcohol and her love.
When the final audition is to be done she gets cold feet and he professes his love to her, making her confident. She is selected and sent off to be trained by RJ. RJ goes to ladylove who is singing in a shady bar and gets her to meet his company’s director. After he is well and back after 2 months, he gets to know about Madam’s consistent efforts, he fires his friend-cum-manager who had lied to him. After they land in Mumbai, RJ is beaten up and lies in the hospital as Aarohi keeps calling him. While he is spoilt brat whose dad in Amreeka calls to check on him. She is the super poor woman who is trying to make ends meet for her family by singing. He promises her a career in singing songs in Bollywood and to be branded as India Nightingale. He falls crazily in love with her after their first-accidental meeting in Goa. Poor fame laden, alcohol consumed and erratic superstar Rahul Jaykar aka RJ is consumed by Aarohi aka Shraddha Kapoor innocence. Songs are fabulously lovely especially Sun reha hai and Tum hi ho … But that’s in complete contrast with the weak script. This rugged rock star look suits him, as he outgrows the Channel V’s teenage veejay garb. Shraddha Kapoor for no fault of hers just reminds you of her notorious father. In this case at least, the Bhatts of 90s win hands down.Aashique2 offers a treat with Aditya Roy Kapur (after trying his luck with Action Replayy and Guzaarish ) comes across as a grown-up man than the boy in the other two films. Mustafa is soulful as always, the buildup is nice, and as a result the repetitiveness doesn’t get to you as easily.Īashiqui vs Aashiqui 2 is a good case of how the Bhatt musical taste has changed over the years. Bhula Dena is the best (or least tiresome) of Jeet’s offerings, with Mustafa Zahid at the helm. But on vocals I would have preferred someone else, here Arijit’s style doesn’t quite work. The arrangement here is quite engaging, particularly for the guitars. Arijit Singh gets a fifth song in the soundtrack, Milne Hai Mujhse Aayi. Once again the tune has nothing new to offer if it makes for a listen it is for KK’s vocal efforts. Tulsi Kumar sounds better than she did earlier, with KK in Piya Aaye Na, but that’s about it.
Aasan Nahi Yahan fares better, the composer along with Arijit Singh providing some respite over the hangover-based tune with some interesting touches in their respective roles. This time it is a 90s template that plays spoilsport. The boringness applies just as much to Hum Mar Jayenge too, where Arijit is joined by Tulsi Kumar. The song however is heavy on déjà vu and gets boring very soon. Arijit Singh and Palak Muchhal return together with Chaahun Main and do their part quite beautifully yet again. Lead composer Jeet Ganguli then takes over, but the songs still remain safely in the Bhatt soundscape. The female version is toned down to suit Shreya Ghoshal’s rendition, and works almost as good as the male version for its use of flute and the singing. Some neat guitaring in the interludes though.
Ankit Tiwari’s melancholic rock piece Sunn Raha Hoon is a tad higher on the repeat feel, and hence a bit less entertaining than the first song. Mithoon’s third and last song too draws from the first, a Love Theme that is a piano-based improvisation around the lead hook. Meri Aashiqui converts Tum Hi Ho into a duet with some nicely imagined verses added to it, that Palak Muchhal delivers with finesse. Tum Hi Ho is as beautifully haunting as a Bhatt- Mithoon product ever gets – soft piano-led arrangement and a soulful rendition from Arijit Singh.
