I can just not get those lines out of my mind. <strong>Ae Dil Hai Mushkil<\/strong> is just another example how aware <strong>Karan Johar<\/strong> is about the use of music in his movies. But music is not the only awesome aspect about Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Yes, the movie managed to release on its scheduled release date amidst the controversies regarding Pakistani actors. And it sure is a movie which deserves to be released.<\/p>\n<h2>About Ae Dil Hai Mushkil<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Ae Dil Hai Mushkil<\/strong> is a <strong>romantic drama<\/strong> movie written and directed by <strong>Karan Johar.<\/strong> The movie is co-written by <strong>Niranjan Iyengar.<\/strong> It features <strong>Ranbir Kapoor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/sultan-movie-review\/\">Anushka Sharma<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/sarbjit-movie-review\/\">Aishwarya Rai Bachchan<\/a><\/strong> in the lead roles. It also features <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/kapoor-and-sons-movie-review\/\"><strong>Fawad Khan<\/strong><\/a> in a supporting role, along with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/fan-movie-review\/\">Shah Rukh Khan<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/housefull-3-movie-review\/\">Lisa Hayden<\/a>, Imran Abbas<\/strong> and <strong>Alia Bhatt<\/strong> in cameos. The movie is produced by <strong>Fox Star Studios<\/strong> and <strong>Dharma Productions.<\/strong> The music of the movie is composed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/azhar-music-review\/\"><strong>Pritam<\/strong><\/a> and lyrics penned by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/ki-ka-music-review\/\"><strong>Amitabh Bhattacharya<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset videofit\"><iframe title=\"Ae Dil Hai Mushkil | Trailer | Karan Johar | Aishwarya Rai Bachchan | Ranbir Kapoor | Anushka Sharma\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z_PODraXg4E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Plot<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Ayan Sanger<\/strong> is an aspiring musician who meets <strong>Alizeh<\/strong> at a pub and after initial and short-lived\u00a0attraction develops a <strong>special bond<\/strong> with her. Alizeh is a <strong>bubbly girl<\/strong> with clear life goals but <strong>twisted and scarred love life.<\/strong> She finds a great friend in Ayan, who has started developing a\u00a0<strong>romantic inclination<\/strong> towards Alizeh. Enters <strong>Ali,<\/strong> Alizeh&#8217;s ex-boyfriend, and a DJ by profession who claims that he wants to get back with Alizeh. To Ayan&#8217;s surprise, she agrees to it. Weeks later, Alizeh <strong>invites<\/strong> Ayan to their <strong>wedding<\/strong> and Ayan, even though unwilling, decides to go.<\/p>\n<p>At the wedding, Ayan tries to gel up\u00a0but ends up <strong>confessing his love<\/strong> to Alizeh and leave the venue. On his way back home, he meets <strong>Saba<\/strong>(Aishwarya), a <strong>shayra<\/strong>(poetess) by profession. She listens to his story and understands her. They start flirting over the\u00a0period and get into a <strong>relationship<\/strong> without commitments. However, even after all this, Ayan cannot get Alizeh out of his mind, while Saba starts getting emotionally attached.<\/p>\n<h2>Story, Screenplay, and Dialogues<\/h2>\n<p>While I personally did not find the story and screenplay amazing, it is <strong>engaging<\/strong> nonetheless. The <strong>characters are well built<\/strong> with <strong>Saba<\/strong> being the <strong>most crucial<\/strong> of them all. Ayan and Alizeh also work wonders as characters. However, I found Alizeh&#8217;s <strong>character curve under-explored.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>first half<\/strong> of the movie is a <strong>blockbuster entertainment<\/strong> ride. Each minute packs with it loads and loads of entertainment, humor and feel. Such, that at the interval point, I was convinced that even if the movie ends here, my money is well recovered. However, the <strong>second half<\/strong> did <strong>disappoint<\/strong> me. Especially a <strong>cliched twist<\/strong> that Karan Johar tried to give it <strong>ruined the second half<\/strong> for me. Some might find it interesting.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>dialogues<\/strong> of the movie are <strong>brilliant throughout<\/strong> the runtime. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lyricsmint.com\/2016\/09\/ae-dil-hai-mushkil-dialogues.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>This article<\/strong> by Lyricsmint<\/a>\u00a0has some <strong>examples<\/strong> of the brilliant dialogues that the movie has. What disappoints in the story and screenplay is <strong>well compensated<\/strong> by the dialogues. Also, the stuff that is the best part of the movie is the <strong>multiple references<\/strong> in the movie to <strong>pop culture and icons.<\/strong> These references range from <strong>Mohd. Rafi<\/strong> and <strong>Mother India<\/strong> to <strong>Madhuri<\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/one-night-stand-movie-review\/\">Sunny Leone<\/a>.<\/strong> A big <strong>standing salute<\/strong> to the writers.<\/p>\n<h2>Performances<\/h2>\n<p>I have said it before, and I will say it again. <strong>Ranbir Kapoor<\/strong> is a <strong>volcano<\/strong> <strong>of talent<\/strong> and with every movie it erupts with a\u00a0roar. He has effectively portrayed Ayan with his <strong>voice, eyes and body language.<\/strong> Karan Johar also revealed his method to extract performance from Ranbir in <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/b6hX2Pg8vW8?t=8m47s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this interview<\/a>, which makes it even more interesting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aishwarya<\/strong> is a <strong>muse\u00a0<\/strong>every artist\u00a0dream of. She <strong>looks gorgeous<\/strong> and has a <strong>magical aura<\/strong> on the\u00a0screen that <strong>screams sexy.<\/strong> The depth in her character is <strong>well complemented <\/strong>by the brilliance of portrayal. <strong>Anushka<\/strong> plays <strong>Alizeh,\u00a0<\/strong>which is brilliant in the first half, but the <strong>second half did not convince<\/strong> me enough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fawad Khan<\/strong> is <strong>skippable<\/strong> in the minor role that he has. It appears the controversy made the makers chop some of the screentime that he might have had, we do not assure of it though. The <strong>cameos<\/strong> by <strong>Alia Bhatt, Imran Abbas, Lisa Hayden<\/strong> and above all <strong>Shah Rukh Khan<\/strong> add just the right amount of salt and pepper to the taste of the movie.<\/p>\n<h2>Music<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Ae Dil Hai Mushkil<\/strong> is a <strong>clear winner<\/strong> at music and songs. Each and every song in the movie is <strong>epic.<\/strong> And <strong>their placement<\/strong> in the narrative of the movie makes it even more interesting. Right from the <strong>soft<\/strong> and low volume bits of &#8216;<strong>Alizeh<\/strong>&#8216; when Ayan is asked about his love, to the <strong>hard hitting<\/strong> <strong>Title Song<\/strong> in the third act. Every note speaks wonders. The &#8216;<strong>Breakup Song<\/strong>&#8216; is also a <strong>brilliant party hit.<\/strong>\u00a0&#8216;<strong>Bulleya<\/strong>&#8216; hits hard and takes in a trance.<\/p>\n<p>However, my personal favorites are &#8216;<strong>Cutie Pie<\/strong>&#8216; and &#8216;<strong>Channa Mereya<\/strong>&#8216; in quick successions. What looks like a fun wedding song is efficiently used to <strong>portray pain<\/strong> that one of the characters has, and then the second song \u00a0<strong>amplifies<\/strong> that pain. Loads of Love to <strong>Pritam<\/strong> and <strong>Amitabh Bhattacharya<\/strong> for creating possibly the best music album this year so far.<\/p>\n<h2>Direction<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Karan Johar<\/strong> is a director who is <strong>expressively creating<\/strong> some works that <strong>connect hard.<\/strong> Right from the flashy NRI family drama to the flashy student drama. He had an image of being over the top, which he himself shatters to a large extent. And honestly, it is the <strong>most different movie<\/strong> that Karan Johar has ever made. He must also be complimented for the <strong>brilliant music sense<\/strong> that he has, which makes all the songs of his every movie, a repeatable track. Awesome direction, but it could have been outstanding <strong>had the second half been dealt better.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Ae Dil Hai Mushkil<\/strong> is a <strong>brilliant entertainer<\/strong> in the <strong>first<\/strong> half and a <strong>decent emotional ride<\/strong> in the <strong>second.<\/strong> It makes you sing with it, laugh with it and at times cry with it as well. The <strong>dialogues<\/strong> are <strong>memorable,<\/strong> the <strong>songs<\/strong> are worth playing on <strong>repeat all.<\/strong> The <strong>performances<\/strong> are <strong>engaging<\/strong> and <strong>Aishwarya<\/strong> is <strong>stunning.<\/strong> The <strong>multiplex audience<\/strong> is going to enjoy this movie more than Shivaay. Go for it if you are one of them.<\/p>\n<p>[wp-review id=&#8221;930&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you watch the movie? Did you like the movie? Do you agree with our review of the movie?
