Kal bhi, aaj bhi, Aaj bhi kal bhi...

kuchh rishte badalte nahi hai kabhi....
I got reminded of this 'VIP luggage' jingle while watching 'Love Aaj Kal'. Not just because it revolves around the two love stories in two different time frames, different cultures, different lifestyles but also, because while trying to narrate these diferences it manages to evoke very similar emotions for both! Feelings, going beyond time, places and cultures, have remained same. What is changing with time is our set of priorities, we are 'practical' people as Saif says. But what is beyond our control is our feelings, no matter how much we try to mask them with a 'practical' set of expressions, responses and decisions. The best part is, we do not realise all this so seriously while watching movie. What we do at that time is.. just enjoy the movie.
Yes, this is a very well made movie to enjoy. Certainly there are some thing you should ignore so as to enjoy. The locations and detailing in the scenes of the older love story are very nice and pleasant including body language of Saif. And so are the details, mostly cultural/verbal etc in the 'aaj' wala love story. By verbal I mean the openness of conversations between the 'aaj' couple shows a high contrast to that of 'kal' wala story. The seemingly random switching between two stories manages to simultaneously tease as well as entertain the audience. Songs are very nice. And most of us can relate to /enjoy some lines or dialogues etc. e.g saif saying after break-up, "mai jyada time dukhi nahi reh sakta yarr..."
Enjoy.
