Despite what everyone said about “Saif’s acting could be better” or “It’s so unrealistic! People don’t have just clean happy breakups” or “Saif is NOT a Sardar!” blah blah blah.

THIS was one of the best films to really understand the progression of relationship of today’s generation!

From the meet-cute to the getting-to-know-each-other to the saying-I-Love-You-without-actually-saying-it to the eventual separation, we guarantee that every cinemagoer could relate to at least one aspect of Jai & Meera’s prem kahani!

The higlight of the film was  2 specific things; the flashback of Veer’s love story and Jai’s time in San Francisco. Not only was Saif Ali Khan so convincing as the young gabroo sardar Veer, he was able to emote with such electricity Jai’s enthusiasm and downward spiral at Golden Gate Inc.

BUT, let’s give the credit where it’s really due- director Imtiaz Ali for seamlessly melding the kal and aaj so beautifully.

So our verdict: WATCH IT.

And of course if you are still iffy about whether you should go see the film or not (which is crazy because you should!)…

LISTEN to the song below.

There are alot of rumours swirling about the identity of the pretty young thing who plays young Veer’s (Rishi Kapoor) lady love in Love Aaj Kal.

It is actually a 19 year-old Brazilian girl by the name of Giselle Monteiro, who Director Imitiaz Ali believed was the perfect fit for that ” 1965 ki gali mein rehne wali ladki, purane zamane ki.”

She was absolutely perfect for the role!

But we have to admit that watching her struggle with the emotions/dancing in Thoda Thoda Pyaar it just goes to show that maybe the adaa of desi girls is innate.. hehe.

Saif Ali Khan is going all out to make sure he is plastered everywhere to promote his first ever home production Love Aaj Kal from director Imtiaz Ali of Jab We Met fame.

Here he is featured with Deepika Padukone on the July issue of Filmfare.

Why so serious you two?
