Ae Dil Hai Musical
It does not have a great opening scene. It starts slow and low.
The meeting of the lead pair was too convenient. Too much of famous Hindi film
one liners, 80% of which falls flat and breaks its legs. Nothing happens apart
from the dialoguebazi for 30/40 mints of the film. The film gets interesting
with Lisa Haydon's entry. She has done a fab job. Story is not out of the box.
The surprise actress works and does nothing more than a surprise. The surprise
actor is much bigger a surprise and he lights up
the audience.Ash's character does not look convincing, the dialogues look forced. And may be because of these two reasons her acting looks fake. Especially in her intro scene, the director looked like in a hurry to establish her as a poet, and so has given her heavy-duty words to mouth which suddenly pushes you off the seat.
The film has popular tracks, picturized beautifully. All the actors look great. As expected in a Kjo film, costumes and production design of high standards.
The screenplay gets slow in the second half. The attempted twist of C, towards the end only dilutes the main plot of the film, should have avoided for sure.
Climax scene is filmy, dramatic and effective. Although the story does not conclude in a meaningful way.
On the technical front, there were multiple shots which were soft-focussed.
So finally should you go and watch the film?
Yes you should for the stunning people in the film, costumes, music. But the film doesn't stay with you as it lacks a soul of its own. Nothing new in the story, or anything outstanding about the narrative style or screenplay. It doesn't bore you, in fact it entrains you in bits.
