‘Love Aaj Kal’ (Love then and now), Bollywood movie that explores the nature of courtship in ever changing times produced by Saif Ali Khan and Dinesh Vijan is now being screened at the Liberty Cinema Colombo.
Starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles with Rahul Khanna, Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, and Giselle Monteiro in supporting roles. The film is directed by Imtiaz Ali.
The movie sees a cocksure Jai (Khan) play a young sales rep in London. Soon enough he bumps into PYT Meera (Padukone) tries some sleazy one-liners, and hey presto - we have our lead pair.
But Jai wants to have his cake and eat it too. Unable to control his hormones, Jai bores of the ‘commitment’ a relationship holds and plans a new age ‘Break up party’ with Meera’s consent. They seem to drift in and out of their ‘relationship’ with alarming alacrity, and after all the do we, don’t we - you’re simply past caring.
In betwixt his own love life, he spends an inordinate amount of time with elderly cafe owner Veer Singh (Kapoor), who regales Jai with his own true to life love story. The movie tries to juxtapose Veer’s story with Jai’s, re-assessing the different aspects of love and courting and how they have changed through generations.
Interesting stuff eh? |
