However, it's important that AASHIQUI 2 lives up to the mammoth expectations, since AASHIQUI had worked for two significant factors - splendid music and strong emotional quotient. The Hollywood film/s is regarded as one of the most riveting heartbreak dramas to hit the silver screen. AASHIQUI 2 brings back memories of A STAR IS BORN, which was made thrice in Hollywood - in 1937, 19. That film was all about jealousy and ego clashes between a married couple, who are playback singers, while AASHIQUI 2 is entirely different.
Talking of AASHIQUI 2, this one's positioned in the current times and the only resemblance it has with the earlier part is that it's a true-blue romantic saga.Īfter having watched AASHIQUI 2, I wish to clarify a pertinent point: AASHIQUI 2 is *not* the present-day avatar of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's cult classic ABHIMAAN.
So why opt for a title like AASHIQUI 2? Follow-up of winning titles are easy to market for the reason that a victorious franchise bestows the film-maker that thrust, a certain brand value with a popular title, besides guaranteeing a potent start at the box-office even if it stars relative newcomers. Nor does it set in motion from where the first part concluded. Nor is it a recreation of the successful film. A film that revolutionized the music industry then.įirst things first! AASHIQUI 2 is *not* a sequel. but it's after a really long gap, of 23 years to be precise, that the premier production house and Bhushan Kumar revisit one of their triumphant stories - AASHIQUI. Since the past couple of years, Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt's Vishesh Films has only invested in sequels: JANNAT 2, MURDER 3, RAAZ 3.
