5/10
Guaranteed to test your patience
3 July 2008
It has been about 18 months since Priyanka Chopra's next movie after Salaam-e-Ishq and it's good to see her again because I was really missing her. She has everything a Bollywood actress should have & I really like her. But her comeback is a disappointment.

Science fiction in Bollywood was unthinkable until the ground breaking film Koi Mil Gaya (2003) came along. But I never thought that there will ever be a Bollywood movie set in the future like The Fifth Element staring Bruce Willis & Milla Jovovich. Love Story 2050 is the first commercial Bollywood film to be set in the distant future. The movie with a big budget of 60 crore skips between the present time and the future. Only the second half is loaded with lots of special effects including flying cars, holograms and robots although India will not look like that in 42 years.

The movie is 3 hours long and the story is simple that could of easily of been made in 1 hour 30 minutes. The first 1.5 hour was completely useless and they finally time travelled when a Hollywood movie would've ended. Harman Baweja's acting was OK but he danced really well for his first film. In the second half the SFX of the future was really good and amazing for a Bollywood movie which is why I'm giving it a five out of ten otherwise I did not like Love Story 2050 at all. The pacing is really bad in the first half and also got slow in the second half eventually it became an ultimate patience tester. The first Bollywood film to be set in the future is the next step but the filmmakers pulled their other foot away first which caused them to fall.

It could have been better in so many ways and I don't think that the Bawejas have seen the movie before they released it. The music belongs to the past; most of the songs do not jar and lacks instant recall after the first hearing. The only good song is Sach Kehna. There has been a long list of flops & rubbish films in 2008 and Love Story 2050 has made that list even longer.
