Aashiqui 2 is a 2013 Bollywood romantic musical drama film directed by Mohit Suri. Starring Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles, it was produced by Bhushan Kumar and Mukesh Bhatt under the T-Series and Vishesh Films banners. Set in the early 2010s, Aashiqui 2 is a love story centering around the turbulent relationship between musicians Rahul and Arohi, a relationship which is affected by Rahul's issues with alcohol abuse and temperament. The film is an uncredited remake of American musical film A Star Is Born, which was remade two times earlier in Hollywood itself. Aashiqui 2 is more closer to the 1976 version, although exclusive sequences from all the three versions can also be spotted.
The film is the sequel to the 1990 musical blockbuster Aashiqui, and initially caused concern in the Indian media that the film could live up to the high standards and success of the original. Production of Aashiqui 2 began in 2011, with the principal photography taking place in Cape Town, Goa and Mumbai on a budget of ₹9 crore (US$1.1 million). The film which premiered on 26 April 2013 received a positive to mixed critical reception and became a major commercial success at the box-office despite featuring newcomers, earning ₹100 crore (US$12 million) worldwide within the first four weeks. It was declared as a blockbuster by Box Office India after its three-week box office run, and is currently the third-highest grossing Hindi film of 2013 and the highest grossing film ever produced by Vishesh Films.[2] Box Office India called it the biggest surprise success of the year due to the magnitude of its' success.[3] The soundtrack to the film became very popular after its release; the songs "Tum Hi Ho" and "Sun Raha Hai" topped the charts across various platforms in India.
Plot
The film opens by showing a large crowd waiting for Rahul Jaykar (Aditya Roy Kapur) – a successful musician whose career is waning because of his alcohol addiction – to perform at a stage show in Goa. After nearly completing a song(Sunn Raha Hain Na), he is unexpectedly interrupted by Aryan (Salil Acharya) during his performance, who throws bottles at him. Rahul fights him, stops his performance, and drives to a local bar where he nearly meets with an accident. He meets Aarohi (Shraddha Kapoor), a bar singer who idolizes Rahul. After noticing Aarohi looking at a photograph of Lata Mangeshkar in the bar, he assumes that she wants to become a singer. Impressed by her simplicity and voice, Rahul promises to transform her into a singing sensation, and asks her to never perform again in bars.
Aarohi leaves her job and returns to Mumbai with Rahul, who convinces record producer Saigal (Mahesh Thakur) to meet her. When Aarohi calls Rahul, he is attacked and injured by some unknown people, and is unable to receive her call. His friend and manager Vivek (Shaad Randhaawa) says that news of Rahul's accident should not be leaked to the media, and instead publicizes a false story that Rahul has left the country to participate in stage shows. When Aarohi attempts to contact Rahul again, Vivek ignores the calls. After two months of fruitlessly attempting to contact Rahul, a broken Aarohi is forced to sing in bars again because of her family's financial problems.
After recovering from his injuries, Rahul vows to search for Aarohi. He learns that Aarohi is working in a bar again and that Vivek had ignored her calls without informing him. Rahul apologizes to Aarohi and sacks Vivek, and they meet with Saigal for the recording agreement. Rahul begins to train Aarohi, who signs a music contract to sing in films and becomes a successful playback singer. Her family and Rahul are happy, but when people begin to gossip that Rahul is using her as a servant, he relapses into alcohol addiction. Aarohi, who loves Rahul more than her career, comforts him. Despite Aarohi's mother's disapproval, Aarohi moves in with Rahul and things go well until Rahul's addiction worsens, causing him to become aggressive and violent.He becomes sober for a while but after a journalist accuses him of using Aarohi for his gains,he begins to drink again and causes trouble.Aarohi is saddened by his state and decides to do anything necessary to help him. Rahul feels that he will be the cause of the failure of Aarohi's career and understands that he is her weakness and her biggest obstacle in achieving success. The next day he promises to change himself and drives off. He commits suicide by jumping off a bridge thereby freeing Aarohi from himself. Aarohi is angered and devastated by his suicide and decides to stop singing. Vivek reminds her it was for her career and success that Rahul killed himself. Sometime later Aarohi is shown singing and she signs an autograph as 'Aarohi Rahul Jaykar' to show tribute to Rahul and her unsung desire of marrying him. As it starts raining, she sees a couple romance under a jacket and thinks of herself and Rahul.

Production
Development
In September 2011, the Indian media reported that Mahesh Bhatt and Bhushan Kumar were keen to remake the 1990 musical blockbuster Aashiqui.[4] Kumar approached Bhatt for a possible sequel, although it was Shagufta Rafique's melodramatic adapted screenplay from A Star Is Born, which persuaded him that the film had potential as a sequel and decided to proceed with the project.[5] Given Aashiqui 's status in Hindi cinematic history as one of the finest Indian musicals of all time, many expressed concerns towards the decision to remake the film, dubious that the producers could come up with a soundtrack on par with the quality of the 1990 film.[6] Bhatt stated that they completely resisted the temptation to use the soundtrack of the earlier film, and promised that Aashiqui 2 would revive the era of melodious film music, as Aashiqui had done 22 years ago.[7]
It was reported that Madhur Bhandarkar had been approached to direct the film, but later turned down the offer because of other working commitments.[8] It was confirmed in November 2011 that Vishal Mahadkar, director of Blood Money, was to direct the picture,[9] but the following month it was announced that Mohit Suri had replaced Mahadkar as director at the last minute. Bhatt confirmed the development, saying "Earlier we had finalised Vishal for the project. But now we have scrapped that idea and found a fresh one. we got Mohit to direct the film".[10] Several media outlets falsely reported that the film is a remake of the Vishesh films 1990 love triangle Awaargi. However, Mahesh Bhatt denied the rumours and said "Aashiqui 2 is not a remake of any of our films. It's an original script. A very contemporary love story dealing with mature emotions."[6]
Casting
The film's producers launched a nationwide talent hunt to discover new faces for the film, initially refusing to employ established actors. However, the actors who came to audition were not promising enough for the roles, and the idea was scrapped.[11] Mahesh Bhatt said, "It was a disastrous talent hunt. We discovered that people lacked the courage to audition. Those who are amateurs went for audition...and people with certain talent were like why should we risk public rejection."[12] When Suri saw some pictures of Aditya Roy Kapoor and met him, he found Kapoor perfect for the role and cast him to play the male lead.[11] In June 2012, Shraddha Kapoor was signed to play the female lead.[7] Bhatt said, "Yes, Shraddha Kapoor is playing the lead with the two boys Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shaad Randhawa. We found her to be very talented. All three actors have extremely challenging dramatic roles"[7] When asked about replacing new actors with known ones, Suri said "People said I couldn't make a film with new actors and expect an audience to come in. But I was pretty sure I wanted Aditya and Shraddha to play my protagonists. My writer Shagufta Rafique and I saw them as the protagonists. See, Aditya and Shraddha may have had unsuccessful films before. But that never took away their talent."[11]
Filming
Principal photography for the film began in October 2012 with film's lead cast.[13] The film was shot in Goa, Mumbai and Cape Town.[14] During the filming in South Africa, Shraddha Kapoor needed medical attention after kneeling on broken glass fragments during the scene in which she had to kneel on the floor and talk to her co-star Aditya Roy Kapoor.[15] Aditya Roy Kapoor also received burns to his hand during the filming of the scene in which they light some Chinese lanterns in Cape Town.[16]
Soundtrack
Untitled | |
---|---|
The 11 songs of the film soundtrack were mostly composed by Jeet Ganguly, although Mithoon composed two songs whereas Ankit Tiwari and GOurav Bansal composed 1 song each. Irshad Kamil wrote lyrics for most of songs on the album. Sandeep Nath wrote both versions of "Sun Raha Hai", while Mithoon wrote "Tum Hi Ho". Arijit Singh sang six of the songs on the album.[17] The music became very popular after its release on 8 April 2013, with songs "Tum Hi Ho" and "Sun Raha Hai" topping the charts across various platforms in India.[18]
Aashiqui 2's soundtrack received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised the songs "Tum Hi Ho" and both versions of "Sun Raha Hai". "Tum Hi Ho" received widespread online recognition with Youtube giants like Kashyap Iyengar covering it.[19] The Times of India rated the album 5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Aashiqui 2 tries, and succeeds to some extent in matching the repeat-values freshness and allure of the original. And while it is unfair to compare a sequel to the original, it needs to be said that each should be seen for its own merit."[20] Glamsham gave a rating of 4 stars out of 5 and said, "It is indeed an exhilarating experience listening to the songs of Aashiqui 2 and in this age of mundane and average/repetitive musical fares that are being churned out, the audio of Aashiqui 2 is surely a treat for all music buffs. 'Tum Hi Ho' and 'Sunn Raha Hai' (both versions) are our favourites, but "Chahun Main Ya Naa" and "Piya Aaye Na" end up as a close second. A chartbusting musical experience indeed.[21]
Koimoi rated the album 3 out of 5 and said, "Aashiqui 2 is an album that had set its heart in the right place and wanted to accomplish what Aashiqui did musically. It has the ingredients in place though at times one gets an impression that the recipe could have been a tad better. One waits to see if the soundtrack would indeed turn out to be memorable for a lifetime, more so since Bhatts had musically created a high standard with Aashiqui".[22] Planet Bollywood gave a rating of 6.5 out of 10 and praised the contributions of Ankit Tiwari and Mithoon shines with their single compositions, but believed that the remaining songs by Jeet Ganguly lacked freshness and were too repetitive apart from "Chahun Main Ya Na","Hum Mar Jayenge" and "Milne Hai Mujhse Aayi".[23]

Marketing and release
The first teaser was released on 22 March 2013, and was well received by critics and audiences.[24] Unlike other films whose theatrical trailers are released first, the makers of the film chose to release the songs before the trailer.[25] The first song, "Tum Hi Ho", was released on 23 March 2013 to unanimous critical reception from critics and became very popular among the audiences. The song became an instant hit with approximately 2 million views on Youtube within 10 days of release, which helped in the marketing of the film.[26] Various versions of the song were uploaded by amateur singers, guitarists and DJs on social networking sites.[27] It has been trending on Twitter and YouTube since its launch.[28]
The film's preview poster showing Aditya and Shraddha under a jacket in a rain-drenched street with the streetlight casting a glow was released along with music on 8 April 2013.[29][30] At the music release event, Aditya and Shraddha recreated the scene from Aashiqui from under a jacket (much like the poster) on the stage.[29] The theatrical trailer was released in mid-April 2013, two weeks before the film's release, and was well received by critics and audiences.[25][31]
Unlike most Bollywood films which indulge in months of promotion before the release, Aashiqui 2 had less than three weeks for promotion before its release.[28] A music concert where singers (who sang songs in the soundtrack album) performed to their respective songs was organised to promote the film.[32] The makers of the film launched the Aashiqui 2 jackets, as seen in the film's poster. Statues resembling the signature image of the couple hiding under the jacket were placed inside various theatres.[33] Due to the romantic theme of the film, it was originally planned for a Valentine's day release on 14 February 2013, but this was postponed because of production delays.[34][35] The film's new release date was 10 May 2013,[36] but it was released a fortnight early on 26 April 2013 in over 2800 screens across India.[37][38] The film was not released in key markets such as UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.[39]
Reception
The film received positive to mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances, chemistry between the lead pair, and the music. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, stating that it "brings romance back on the Hindi screen – intense, pure, selfless and heart wrenching. A stirring account with brilliant moments, bravura performances, strong emotional quotient and addictive music, this one's an absolute must watch for the romantics." He praised the lead cast's performances, writing that " ... Aditya Roy Kapur's depiction of the intense character is outstanding ... [which] clearly demonstrates his potency as an artiste of caliber and competence. Shraddha also gets to sink her teeth into this challenging character and the attractive youngster is simply amazing, more so towards the demanding moments in the second hour. Furthermore, the chemistry between Aditya and Shraddha is incredible."[40] Martin D Souza of Glamsham gave it 4/5 stars.[41] Indiatimes gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5 and said, "Suri pitches the story with old-world romance, high-drama and well-crafted heart-breaking moments."[42] Indo-Asian News Service rated the film 3.5 out of 5 and wrote, "Director Mohit Suri traverses the angst-soaked territory with a sincere and deep understanding of the dynamics that destroy love and trust between couples in the glamorous and competitive profession", and that, "Aashiqui 2 makes us grateful for the movement of the love story away from the standard Romeo & Juliet format into the dark destructive domain of A Star Is Born."[43] Komal Nahta gave it 3.5/5 stars stating that, On the whole, Aashiqui 2 is an entertaining film with hit music and the sacrificing nature of the heroine as it biggest trump cards." [44]
The film also received some mixed reactions from critics. Writing for Hindustan Times, Anupama Chopra rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and believed that the film didn't fulfill its potential, but said, "It's an interesting scenario and Suri and his actors set it up well. Aditya gives Rahul's angst a certain charm. He is earnest and broken. And the real triumph here is Shraddha, whose porcelain face has a haunting vulnerability. She's very good as the woman in the throes of a grand passion who believes that love will show the way."[45] Resham Sengar rated the film 2.5 and questioned the logic behind the script and believed that several of the scenes either dragged on excessively or were too abrupt, which affected the quality of the entire film.[46] India Today also gave the film a rating of 2.5 stars out of four, and argued that the film was only a success because of its soundtrack, saying that the film "merely banks on the power of saleable music and the novelty of a fresh cast to enable brothers Bhatt, Mahesh and Mukesh, [to] make maximum moolah within minimum budget as they have done all along."[47]
Box office
On its opening day, Aashiqui 2 collected about ₹5.25 crore (US$610,000)[48] and collected ₹17.92 crore (US$2.1 million) during its first weekend.[49] The film collected ₹34.65 crore (US$4.1 million) in its first week.[50] In the second week, despite new releases, it collected ₹17.35 crore (US$2.0 million), which took its two-week box-office collections to ₹52 crore (US$6.1 million).[51] The film remained steady on weekdays and collected ₹90.50 crore (US$11 million) in its third week and total collections rose to ₹90.50 crore (US$11 million).[50] The film had the highest third week collections of 2013 to that date.[52] The film's revenues remained consistent in its fourth weekend and took its total to ₹71 crore (US$8.3 million).[53] Box Office India declared the film a blockbuster after its three-week box office run. As of 20 May, the film was the second-highest grossing Hindi film of 2013 and the highest-grossing film produced by Vishesh Films.[50][54] According to Box Office India, Aashiqui 2 is the best trending film at the box office since 3 Idiots as the fourth week's collections were nearly ₹7.50 crore (US$880,000) nett, which was more than every film released in the last ten years apart from 3 Idiots. The fourth week collections of the film were the third highest of all time.[53] The film collected an exceptional ₹5.75 crore (US$670,000) nett approx in its fifth week.[55] The film went on to gross approximately ₹80 crore (US$9.4 million) in its sixth week at the domestic box-office.[56] The seven week lifetime collection of the movie stood at a huge figure of ₹82 crore (US$9.6 million). As per updates, the film has grossed a humongous ₹85.40 crore (US$10 million) after an unimaginable 11 week run.[57]
Internationally, the film collected around US$150,000 over the first weekend because its limited release meant the film was only released in UAE and Pakistan.[58] The film collected ₹100 crore (US$12 million) worldwide in its fourth week.[1]
