Love Story 2050
I think I understand when people try to imitate Amitabh Bachchan. He might be going nuts (his blog and the way he speaks nowadays in media) but he is a legend.
But why would anyone want to imitate Hrithik Roshan? He is history. No one likes him. He is passé.
Let’s see what the people visiting this blog think about Mr. Roshan Junior!
But apparently Harman Baweja had other ideas. He tries pretty hard to be like Hrithik in this movie. His looks, his dancing style, his dialogue delivery. Everything.
I cannot even say if he is the poor man’s Hrithik considering the movie is a big budget pain in the ass.
The movie tries to do a Kaho Na Pyar Hai. Enough space for Baweja Jr. to showcase his talent.
He does dirt biking (and wins coz he was asked by his future girlfriend to win. Hmm).
He does some parkour with no specific reason. Just to amuse the audience on what the hell is going on.
He does some Hrithik like dancing. Gets to patao the girl. Yant a boring and irritating dialogue (I don’t need luck. I have love. WTF!).
Then he manages to get the girl killed in a stupid stupid accident. Apparently he did not want the ice-cream because he found a new reason to live. So, the girl crosses the road to get the ice cream and gets killed because she is too involved in the dude who, well is staring at her. Dude, you are the dude. You are supposed to get the ice-cream.
Dude has a genius uncle who is working on a time machine. He has not solved one last equation for like 15 years which has made the machine useless.
What he could not do in 15 years, the girl does it in 2 minutes. She just ends up drawing some random figure on the lab’s blackboard which solves the problem (this is before she dies).
Good enough. The scientist uncle decides to take the hero to the past. But sad the machine is stuck in a future date (the heroine entered that date when she was fooled into believing that the machine worked by the hero who wanted a kiss).
Harman is so madly in love that he knows that the date is a symbol and the girl is waiting for him in the future. So, well they decide to go into the future. Mumbai 2050. For god sake. MUMBAI.
It takes them 1.5 hours to get to this spot. Basically… it’s the end of one of the two movies you end up seeing. Both of which suck. The second one begins now…
After the interval, they are in Mumbai which looks like the city from The Fifth Element. But with current generation sponsors like Lux, Tata Indicom (It’s true!), CEAT and Microsoft Xbox 360. Yeah. They are still running ads for this console in Mumbai in 2050. My great India. And they play the console like they play Nintendo Wii nowadays.
Anyways, the girl is indeed there in Mumbai 2050. She is now a rock star. But she does not believe in love.
So, what does the hero do? Spend the next 1.5 hours to try pataoing her. In the meanwhile, the director makes sure that we get to see the futuristic stuff he has spent so much time on designing and developing. There is a villain who gets to do very little. Girl remembers the guy from her past life. They all come back and apparently live happily after.
It’s all good but it gets fooking boring. And very annoying. Harman has a weird style of dialogue delivery. Either he is trying very hard to sound like a douche bag or he has become a mixture of Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan. Boman Irani tries very hard to look like Albert Einstein but of course he is another douche bag in the movie.
Another thing. I think the hair stylist ran out of blades as Harman looks like he needs a shave in EVERY scene of the movie. I can understand stubble, beards, clean shaven look but not what he was sporting.
I put this movie in the same category as Aks and Boom. Thank you for wasting three hours of my life. Did I tell you that the movie feels like it is 4 hours long? Wikipedia states its 138 minutes. I do not believe it.

Its a pathetic attempt. The brat kid can do better by not acting. Maybe, he’d fade out of memory soon. If he thinks that he can act and copy HRoshan…why didnt he attach a prothetic thumb?

“Dude, you are the dude. You are supposed to get the ice-cream.”
This shoul be on T-shirts for all the girls. If I could, I would make a T-shirt business out of your blog.
BTW, 3hrs 20 mins is the official figure.
