This had to be coming its way for quite sometime, after some blundering steps here and there. Finally,“Love aj Kal” aka LAK, arrives full square and looks like it is meant to score high with the audience. The storyline is fresh and settling and leads the audience along on a journey that is of comfortable pace.
Imtiaz Ali’s latest is not meant to disappoint any one. A lot of expectations had been trained on him in relation with LAK, after his second venture “Jab We Met” took the box-office by storm and sealed the fates of both the leads, Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, in the higher rungs of the industry.
In his this venture, Ali takes to look at love as an unchanging phenomenon in any era, and if changed, how is it perceived now.
We therefore have a very experienced and elderly Veer Singh (essayed by Rishi Kapoor) and Jai (Saif) sit and tell their tales of love to each other, to prove in the end that love is never changing. Veer tries showing Jai how love acts as a driving force, which Jai plays down saying it is a notion of an era that is by gone. What Ali tries to put across is that love used to make people a whole lot serious in earlier times. Now, people getting serious about their life and profession, bid adieu to love. However, love finds its own course in due time.
Saif as Jai is successful in his portrayal of the emotions that he under goes as he goes blundering through life, sometimes discovering love, at others disowning it because of his ego, and well, because he is human. Deepika Padukone plays Jai’s love interest Meera and fits the role to perfection so that it looks tailor made for her.
