Love Aaj Kal review: CINEMATIC CATASTROPHE! Kartik Aaryan starrer Imtiaz Ali's worst film?

Love Aaj Kal review: The highly-awaited Love Aaj Kal, starring Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan has released, but to negative reviews. The film is being bashed by moviegoers on social media platforms, some calling it Imtiaz Ali's worst film till date. Film trade analyst, critic and influencer Sumit Kadel called the film a 'Cinematic Catastrophe' and went on to add that only Imtiaz Ali knows what was going on.

He said that this is one of the worst performances by Kartik Aaryan while Sara was average at best. "Film is for selective astute audience who thinks boredom is divine," Kadel said, as he went on to give just half stars to the film.

"If you think Jab Harry Met Sejal was bad then trust me #LoveAajkal would ensure you lost your senses while watching the film, people with tremendous tolerance can survive it, rest will leave the theater before or after interval.  Shocked Kartik and sara chose to do this film," he added in another tweet.

Earlier, Kadel had predicted an opening weekend of around Rs 38 crore for the film. He had said that Love Aaj Kal's opening weekend box office collection could be between Rs 38 crore and Rs 42 crore while its lifetime collection can touch Rs 100 crore.

The film is a follow-up to Imtiaz's 2009 movie, featuring Saif Ali Khan. The new film with Kartik Aaryan and Saif's daughter Sara Ali Khan also explores two stories set in different time periods. The follow-up, which also features Randeep Hooda and debutante Arushi Sharma, will be set in 1990 and 2020.

"I feel this is franchisable idea. I have made two films with the same title because after ten years, the basis on which I made the earlier film has changed. I am getting the opportunity to say it in a newer way. If we think we can maybe take it ahead in the future after a few years, if the process of the relationship (has evolved) and if there is something new to tell, a new story, then we will try to say it," Imtiaz was recently quoted as saying by PTI.
