Lots of Hopes on Love Aaj Kal
Love Aaj Kal is doing good with its songs and promos and is gearing up for an eagerly awaited release on this Friday. The film is an acid test for its lead pair, Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone, and a lot of expectations are riding on this romantic comedy, which is about love across generations.
Saif Ali Khan’s previous two releases Tashan and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic bit the dust at the box-office. His voice over animated film Roadside Romeo was also a dud at the box office. Saif, who is aiming at a big come back with Love Aaj Kal has also turned a producer with the film.
Deepika Padukone is also badly in need of a hit. Her last two films were not able to live up to the expectations. While Bachan Ae Haseeno opposite her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor was an average, Chandni Chowk To China opposite Akshay Kumar turned a disaster at the box office. She also has a lot of hopes pinned on Love Aaj Kal.
As far as the audience are concerned, July was not a satisfying month for them. Even big releases like Kambakht Ishq and Luck have failed to live up to the expectations. Movie buffs are now expecting a lot from Love Aaj Kal, especially because the movie is directed by Imtiaz Ali who gave us the sweet Jab We Met in 2007.
Love Aaj Kal with its songs, trailers, controversies and freshness of the lead pair has created quite an interest in people. But can this film bring some cheer on the face of the audience on the last day of July remains to be seen.
