ae dil hai mushkil movie review

 


Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Karan Johar and produced by Dharma Productions. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Fawad Khan. The film follows the story of Ayan (Kapoor), a young man who falls in love with Alizeh (Sharma), a beautiful and independent woman. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Alizeh is already in a relationship with someone else.

The film was released on 28 October 2016 and received mixed reviews from critics. Some praised the film's performances, direction, and music, while others criticized its length and its handling of certain plot points. Despite the mixed reviews, the film was a commercial success, grossing over ₹239.67 crore (US$32 million) worldwide.

Here is a more detailed review of the film:

Positives

  • The performances: Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma give two of the best performances of their careers. Kapoor is particularly good as Ayan, bringing a depth and vulnerability to the role that is rarely seen in Bollywood films. Sharma is also excellent as Alizeh, capturing her character's strength, independence, and vulnerability.
  • The direction: Karan Johar directs with a sure hand, creating a visually stunning film that is both emotionally engaging and thought-provoking.
  • The music: The music by A.R. Rahman is one of the film's strongest assets. The songs are beautiful, haunting, and perfectly suited to the film's mood.

Negatives

  • The length: The film is over two and a half hours long, and it feels it at times. The film could have benefited from some judicious editing.
  • The handling of certain plot points: Some of the film's plot points are handled in a clumsy and unsatisfying way. For example, the film's climax is both contrived and unconvincing.

Overall, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is a flawed but ultimately rewarding film. It is a beautifully made film with strong performances, but it is also a bit too long and its handling of certain plot points is clumsy. Still, if you are a fan of Bollywood films, or if you are looking for a film that will make you think about love and loss, then Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is worth a watch.

Recommendation

I recommend Ae Dil Hai Mushkil to fans of Bollywood films, or to anyone who is looking for a film that will make them think about love and loss. The film is flawed, but it is also beautifully made and features strong performances.
