Finally, the film ends in a manner so bizarre we’re left rubbing our eyes. Why does Vivek try to keep Rahul away from Aarohi? Why do Aarohi and Rahul fall in love? What drove Rahul to drink before he met Aarohi? What is his relationship with his apparently loving father, who offers to fly down from New York right away when his son is depressed (but never does)? The story bounces off random incidents, including a tax fraud case that a single mention is made of, and which is then conveniently forgotten. The motives of the characters are never clear. In one instance, a mangalsutra that has been either pawned or sold makes a magical comeback. A sequel of the original book 'Aashiqui,' 'Aashiqui 2' is a beautiful story of first love, childhood romance, time, family and friendships. No one seems to have kept track of the continuity either, with costume changes, hairstyle changes, and accessory changes occurring inexplicably in the same scene. I guess I need to stay as far possible from her. The film essentially comprises one dramatic scene after the other, following more or less this pattern – tantrum, makeup scene, love song, fight. But, he isn’t able to pull them to lift himself out of his rut. Our rockstar RJ, who has been on the slide ever since he took to alcohol, apparently still has enough strings to pull to make her a singing sensation. It turns out Aarohi was on her way to a gig at bar – yes, with the vegetables too. Neither is it the only unnecessary scene. This is still not the most unbelievable part of the story. He meets Aarohi (Shraddha Kapoor) in the most random of ways – a nighttime accident, when she’s apparently on her way back from the market, with fresh vegetables.
A sequel of the original book Aashiqui, Aashiqui 2 is a beautiful story of first love, childhood romance, time, family and friendships. So, one minute, he’s staggering about, his eyes lolling, his speech slurring the next, he’s walking jauntily, his eyes bright the next, he’s slurring again. I guess I need to stay as far possible from her. The sad part of all this – aside from the fact that so much footage was devoted to it – is that Aditya Roy Kapur rarely remembers to act drunk. Someone random provokes him, RJ gets into a fistfight, the security guards take forever to show up, he gets beaten up, he drives off drunk, and the press has a field day.
What happens next is what will continue to happen throughout the film. Drunk as a sailor on land, he can still, apparently, perform. And then, we see the hero, RJ, in bits and pieces – first, his teeth, swigging at a bottle then, his eyes, which aren’t bloodshot. And his friend Vivek (Shaad Randhawa) is important enough for us to have to wait for the camera to pan to his face, as the organiser complains to him. He’s so popular, even when he’s down on his luck, that he can keep them waiting. There’s an enormous crowd, which has apparently been waiting for two hours for Rahul Jaykar (Aditya Roy Kapur) to show up.
