Ae Dil Hai Mushkil touched all my hidden-emotional chords and blew me away with its top notch storytelling. Writer-director Mr. Karan Johar has done the most compelling and the most mature work in the recent times. In this film the director Karan Johar, left the writer in him behind. He gave great direction to this film and kept its narration interesting till the end. This can be the freshest and the newest concept of a love story that exists nowadays in real life too.
There are two types of good films- one which are just for entertainment and passing your time but these are the easily forgettable. Second one are those which are not just for entertainment but touches your soul too and to which you can relate yourself with, these films remain in your heart forever. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is this rare second type of film for me. It's an intense love-story, which is honest, real, heartbreaking and yet beautiful in all the right ways. I have been thinking about this film for hours after watching it. Most importantly it doesn't have that usual bollywood co-incidences or extra melodramatic scenes that could have made this movie a usual one.
The actors in the film are the perfect. Ranbir is literally the soul and Anushka is the heart of this film. Ranbir is in almost every frame and brings every emotion possible to life. And I am very happy to say that this ranks amongst his best works. Anushka is equally convincing. Her character in the film is the most complex, freshest and best written character, and she does complete justice to it. Aishwarya Rai Bachan looks devine and delivers a mesmerizing performance. So, everyone did a splendid work and did full justice to their characters and I can't imagine anyone better than these to do the respective roles. Alas, apart from all others, Shah Rukh Khan gave a cameo worth thousand lead roles. In his short span on screen, he conveyed everything that one could say about unrequited love in a lifetime. He not only influenced Ayan(Ranbir's character), but made a deep impact on me too. The music of the film is this year's best. And the songs in the film are either heart-wrenching or rocking. Every song heightens the narrative and adds fun or an emotional quotient to it.
For me this film is undoubtedly a gem, but had to face the same fate that "Tamasha" faced being a different and complex love-story from the usual one's. I feel that this can also be one of the most underrated love-story like Tamasha. Alas, it's not all perfect movie as there are some weak moments too. The last 20 minutes do make this film bit different but failed to make it an unique one. The film falls in the clichéd trap towards the end but does give an emotional closure to this gorgeous tale of friendship over love. One thing that me and my friend felt missing is the individual connection for any one character. I felt that the director concentrated more in the story-telling than on exploring the characters of the movie.
Now, as far as the rating is concerned I will give it 8.5 stars out of 10. This film has been something else for me. I may be exaggerating and you may not feel the same like i did but if you know anything about unrequited love or gone through that phase, you'll feel this right in your bones.
