Love Aaj Kal (Two Disc Set)
A**K
Love Aaj Kal resurrects the heart of modern-day "Romantic Comedy"... and celebrates it in such PHENOMENAL style, too!!!
Love Aaj Kal is DEFINITELY one of the very best 2009 romantic comedies I have ever, ever seen in an utterly long time... the two main leads (Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone playing as Jai and Meera, respectively) are just flat-out fantastic, and the way the two love stories from two different generations of time interconnect with each other is just seamlessly and most flawlessly brilliant indeed; you can just literally sense the sheer chemistry, the compelling character development, their painful heartaches, and one powerhouse performance after another in this original Hindi-language film from start to finish, combined with such an outstanding story that just makes you want to leap with great joy and go all the way, guaranteed!!! ;)Shot on location in San Francisco, London, and New Dehli as the main backdrops, what makes this movie *extremely* so special for me personally is that all the dating and relationships here are handled in quite an absolutely, ABSOLUTELY fresh and alive and splendidly convincing and rather strikingly mature manner indeed between the characters and what they are going through also, and even much more better is that we end up fully and genuinely with an amazing, non-stop rooting interest in those two main characters throughout, especially as well in the key point late in the film where we actually sense that Meera and Jai's emotional, secretly attractive connection to each other is seriously at risk when they are in sudden jeopardy in their relationship! I am not gonna spill the beans on what happens at the very end here... but one thing is for certain: with fantastic pacing, excellent laughs, amazing non-stop energy, first-rate songs to lift the action so wonderfully, and an incredibly top-notch modern-day romance that spans two generations, Love Aaj Kal literally blows away all of the contrived, obnoxious, and most blatantly lifeless 2009 American theatrical romance comedies (i.e. The Ugly Truth, Love Happens, and All About Steve to name a few!) to kingdom come. PERIOD, final.DO NOT MISS THIS ONE especially with your loved one as well, because this is your perfect date movie that you must, must see indeed... you will *not* be even disappointed whatsoever, and congratulations to Illuminati Films, Eros International, and especially to writer/director Imtias Ali as well on quite a watershed brilliance of a romance-comedy film well made!!!! (^-^)v !!

Love in Different Times but Same Theme
What can I say about Deepika Padukone? One of the new and upcoming talent in Indian cinema, I think she keeps getting better and better with each movie she does.In a typical boy meets girl kind of way in today's modern times, Jai (Saif Ali Khan) is in a relationship with Meera (Deepika Padukone) but when their different jobs require them to live in two different countries they decide to break up because as Jai says 'long distance relationships never work'.Jai meets Veer Singh (Rishi Kapoor) a coffee shop owner who upon hearing the tale of Jai & Meera can't believe that he let her go. Veer tells his story of the way he met and married Harleen which happened several years ago.Both stories run somewhat systematically throughout the course of the movie but you see the same result or theme that if it's true love you would do anything to get her back.A beautiful movie & lovely performances by Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan & Rishi Kapoor

Great intertwined past n present love story
Love Said, Love Padukone! But love the two Live stories intertwined THE most! And the music is energetic. Listen to the CD over n over, own the movie. I'm a huge Bollywood fan and have watched 50 to 100 of them by now. This is a top ten!

He doesn't know he's in love
Typical, right? But it is kind of cute in places. And the female star is beautiful. Personally, I think I would like to see more of the older man's more traditional love story, as I enjoy that style more than the modern style.

Amazon rental video-Very Satisfactory Experience
I bought this rental video from Amazon and I was really satisfied with the clarity and print with no interruption. Because bad prints/interruptions spoils the good movie experience.It worked out really well. And also an option of watching the video for a week is great.This made me buy another rental video from Amazon. I like the rental videos from Amazon. Its convenient and very clear !

GoodGora reviews Love Aaj Kal
The movie is for the very modern Indians and probably for the Gora's too. How do you handle life in the fast lane and remain sane and connected. It is hard to do. It takes sacrifices that not all are ready to do.

One of my favorite movies of all times
One of my favorite movies of all times. A good mixture of Indian cinema's dreaminess with the reality of a commoner in India. And then of course, there's romance, dreams and dance numbers. All in all, a wonderful movie (a nostalgic one too).
