Review of Aashiqui

Aashiqui (1990)
4/10
Love the music. Hate the movie.

Warning: Spoilers
One thing that I love about this movie is the music. It is beautiful. I can guarantee you, that generations to come will be listening to this music long after we have all left this world. There is something eternal and evergreen about the soundtrack.

That being said I feel that the movie in no way reflects the sheer genius of the music. One can see tiny glimpses of coping from the movie Rebel Without A Cause throughout the entire narrative, the obvious being the scene in the police station at the being of the movie. In fact the entire narrative seems contrived and stiff.

Rahul and Anu did the best that the could do with their cardboard characters.

While the music will remain eternal, I predict that Aashqui the movie will fade into obscurity in the years to come.
