Love Aaj Kal reviews+box office - Page 11

This movie shouldnt have been made at all. Same overused tropes from the IA filmdom, LOVE AAJ KAL.. basic idea from Ali's own film with saif and Deepika. The old film had some kinda charm, although not perfect had some good chemistry and refreshing characters that made it a good watch.

LAK 2 with SARA and KARTIK is an eyesore, the story is a one line thread that is stretched to its limits, the limited acting capacity of the leads also does not help. Sara looks funny in emotional scenes. When a person cries on screen, it has to be impactful for the audience to feel it in their gut, here instead when she cries we are left wondering " kya ch*tiyapa hai yeh" 

Kartik aryan. bro please stick to comedy.. he is burdened by 2 roles here.. and some of the scenes look unintentionally funny.

The film is full of broken characters.. Really enjoyed the performance of the girl who played Leena ♥.

The biggest problem with these newbies is that they have the wrong role model. Ananya considers Alia as her role model. She acted like Alia in SOTY with that terrible accent and is trying to do the same with Kaali Peeli. And Sara has young Bebo as role model. So obviously she apes the young bebo. If anyone has seen LAK ,they will know how cringey was Sara' 'whatever' dialogue in the film, an obvious copy from Poo.😆

I also forgot to add in my previous post how beautiful Simone Singh looks but how horrible she acts.😆

Iski apni maa can eat bebo alive and ye chhoti mummy ko role model banaaye baithi hai.?🤔

TRUE , Sara was annoying. WHATEVER!!

Kartik was horrible too despite trying hard.

Befikre wasn’t that bad. Not as bad as LAK2 at least.😆

Unpopular opinion: Kartik-Sara pairing didn’t click, I feel like many critics are circumventing this point. 

Imtiaz Ali films need an eclectic couple to work IMO - another reason JHMS didn’t work too. 

Agree the sartk pairing did not work. Leena - raghu portions were much better even with less screen time.

Also the PR drama killed the love for the pairing, it was overdone

IMTIAZ should also advice his actors to stop doing overdrive PR. It didn’t work for tamasha and for this one too. Better your skills instead of pushing your Leads for promoting cringy stuff.

That seems to come from him.

Post Tamasha he said they got the promotional strategy wrong. .. for T the producers were sajid Nadiadwala and Sid roy kapur.. for LAK 2 it is Dinesh vijan.. the kartik kartik drama was started by sara much ahead of film release.

So I guess its just the Imtiaz ali way.. if the DP - KA in a film is true then again same thing applies.. the airport dance .. yada yada..

People are blaming Sara but in reality it was just a bad film, plain and simple. The screenplay and direction was awful, and I found even Kartik unintentionally funny in some of the 1990 parts (why does he seem to think everyone was retarded in the 90s? 🤔🙃) 

But I agree that the girl playing Leena was good, hope to see her in more stuff though that’s sadly unlikely in this nepotism ridden industry ☹️.

SarTik thing was annoying before, and still is. It was not going to be long before they would be in a movie, and here it is lol 

What a freaking trainwreck! "BLOODBATH" 😆

Love Aaj Kal Continues To Falter On Sunday

Monday 16 February 2020 02.30 IST

Box Office India Trade Network

Love Aaj Kal continued to falter with collections of 6.50-6.75 crore nett on Sunday which is no growth from Saturday. At best the film will come out same as Saturday if some of the final numbers from the bigger circuits come out more than what is expected now.

The Sunday growth would not have been much even if the film was liked by the target audience so flat collections were pretty much on the cards considering the huge drop on Saturday. The weekend collections of the film be in the 25.50 crore nett region which lower than the 2009 Love Aaj Kal which collected 27 crore nett plus in its first weekend.

The film could face a bloodbath over the weekdays considering this weekend trend and its just about how bad it will be as the film has no chance of survival. The film will actually make a good money for the makers and here its not due to the satellite and digitals rights only but due to India theatrical as very surprisingly it fetched a big price for this typw of film from India theatrical of over 40 crore which covered almost 70% of the costs. It goes without saying the buyers will lose huge amounts of money.

Love Aaj Kal - Poor Weekend Disaster Trend

Monday 17 February 2020 12.30 IST

Box Office India Trade Network

Love Aaj Kal had a poor weekend of 25.25 crore nett while the trend was even worse than the collections. If we take out Valentines Day then the collections of the film are just around 21 crore nett. The trend is so bad that even after taking out the Valentines Day factor on Friday then still the first day is the best day. .

The rejection is across the board although that does not matter much as most of the country was going to reject anyway but the aim is to get the numbers from the five big metros of Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Kolkata and Bangalore but even these places rejected the film. The ticket rates are generally high in these places so you can get numbers with less footfalls which help push the collections. Its rare to see a metro film rejected at this level with the last one probably being Shaandaar in 2015.

Shaandaar had a 11.72 crore opening day which was a holiday and finished with 39 crore nett. This film will struggle to do that as Shaandaar had an extended four day weekend which gave it an extra day in the weeeknd but the rejection is on a similar line. the reason why you dont expect to see these sort of crashes is because they are for a targeted audience and not for the wider audience where the tastes differ making them difficult to cater for.  The only thing that remains to be seen is how bad is Monday now. The collections  of Love Aaj Kal till date are as follows.

Friday - 11,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 7,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 25,25,00,000 apprx
