It stars Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles. Set in the early 2010s, Aashiqui 2 is a love story which depicts the journey of musicians Rahul and Arohi and their romantic relationship, which goes through love and hate, twists and turbulence, success and failure in their lives. The film's music received positive reviews from critics and became very popular after its release; the songs "Tum Hi Ho" and "Sun Raha Hai" topped the charts across various platforms in India.

Made on a budget of ₹9 crore (US$1.1 million), the film opened on 26 April 2013 to positive to mixed reviews from film critics, who praised the lead cast's performances, the chemistry between the leading actors and the music. The film had a good opening at the box-office despite featuring newcomers. Positive word-of-mouth from the audiences contributed to the film's collections and remained consistent throughout its run. Aashiqui 2 became a major commercial success, collecting nett. ₹100 crore (US$12 million) worldwide in four weeks, and was declared as a blockbuster by Box Office India after its three-week box office run. It is currently the second-highest grossing Hindi film of 2013 and the highest grossing film ever produced by Vishesh Films.

Plot

As the film opens, large crowd was waiting for Rahul Jaykar (Aditya Roy Kapoor) – a successful musician whose career is waning because of his alcohol addiction – to perform at a stage show in Goa. After an unwanted interruption from Aryan (Salil Acharya) during his performance, Rahul fights him, stops his performance, and drives to a local bar. He meets Aarohi (Shraddha Kapoor), a bar singer who idolizes Rahul. After noticing Arohi looking at a photograph of Lata Mangeshkar in the bar, he assumes that she wants to become a well-known singer. Impressed by her simplicity and voice, Rahul promises to mentor her and transform her into a singing sensation, and asks her to never perform at bars again. 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, 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 spreads a story that Rahul is out of the country for some stage shows. When Aarohi tries to call Rahul again, Vivek ignores the calls. After two months of trying to contact and meet Rahul, a broken Aarohi is forced to sing in bars again because of her family problems.

After recovering from his injuries, Rahul tells Vivek that they should search for Aarohi. He learns that Aarohi is working in a bar again and Vivek had ignored her calls without telling Rahul. Rahul apologizes to Aarohi and they meet with Saigal for the recording agreement. Despite Vivek's reservations, Saigal begins to train Aarohi, who signs a music contact to sing in films and becomes a successful playback singer. Her family and Rahul are happy but people begin to gossip that Rahul is using her as a servant or mistress. This angers Rahul, causing him to relapse into alcohol addiction. Aarohi, who loves Rahul more than her career, comforts him and they spend the night together. Despite Aarohi's mother's disapproval, Aarohi moves in with Rahul and things go well until Rahul's addiction start to increase, causing him to become aggressive and violent. During a press conference instigated by reporters, Rahul unknowingly pushes Aarohi and the media starts to report his violent behaviour.

To help Rahul fight his alcoholism, Aarohi takes him away to try and cure him but leaves her singing commitments. After Saigal reminds them about their dream of Aarohi becoming a successful singer, Rahul tells her to focus on her work. During Aarohi's stage show, Rahul meets a journalist backstage, who accuses him of using Aarohi for pleasure and money. Angry and devastated, Rahul beats up the journalist and starts drinking. He ends up in jail, and Aarohi comes to bail him out. Rahul overhears Aarohi telling Saigal that she is going to leave her career for him and is ready to give up her celebrity status because Rahul is more important to her. Rahul understands that he has become a burden in her life, and that leaving her is his only option to save her. The next day he bids her farewell and jumps from a bridge, killing himself.

Distraught by Rahul's death, Aarohi decides to leave her career but Vivek persuades her to stay. He reminds her that Rahul wanted her to become a successful singer and has given his life as he did not want to be a burden on her. Aarohi becomes successful and sees Rahul in the audience whenever she performs. The film ends with Aarohi signing her name as "Aarohi Rahul Jaykar" in a fan's handbook as a tribute to Rahul and her unsung desire to marry him. As rain starts falling, she watches the couple who took her autograph sharing a romantic moment under a jacket as she and Rahul had done when he was alive.

Cast

Production

The development of Aashiqui 2 started in 2011. Media reported that Mahesh Bhatt and Bhushan Kumar were keen to remake the 1990 musical blockbuster Aashiqui.[2] The idea of the follow-up film came from Bhushan Kumar, who asked Mahesh Bhatt for a possible sequel. According to Bhatt, when screenwriter Shagufta Rafique came up with the "heartbreaking narrative of 'grown-up love' ", he thought he had the beginnings of a worthy sequel and decided to proceed with the project.[3] Several media publications questioned remaking the original film, described as an "ageless musical", which is considered to be one the best Indian musicals of all time.[4] They were concerned whether the music would meet the expectations of the previous film. Some said that it would be a big challenge to recreate music of that calibre. Bhatt said, "We're completely resisting the temptation of carrying over Nadeem-Shravan's chartbusters from Aashiqui into Aashiqui 2." He said that it would be hard for listeners to decide which of the songs they like the best and promised that Aashiqui 2 will revive the era of melodious film music, as Aashiqui had done 22 years ago.[5]

Media publications reported that Madhur Bhandarkar was approached to direct the film. Bhandarkar said that he was not directing the film.[6] Media reported that Bhandarkar turned down the offer because of his other work commitments. In November 2011, it was confirmed that Vishal Mahadkar (who directed Blood Money) was finalised to direct the film.[7] However, in December 2011, media reported that Mohit Suri has replaced Mahadkar as director. 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".[8] The makers said that "21 years later, Bhushan Kumar and Mohit Suri have come together to dream the same dream that we did 21 years ago ... Aashiqui 2 will dare to rise up to the expectations ignited by this ageless musical and continue the legacy... It will be written by Shagufta Rafique".[4] Certain sections of media 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."[4]

It was reported that the film would feature new actors and no established actors. The film's producers launched a nationwide talent hunt to discover new faces for the film. However, the actors who came to audition were not promising enough for the roles, and the idea was scrapped.[9] 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."[10] 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.[9] In June 2012, Shraddha Kapoor was signed to play the female lead.[5] 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"[5] 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 from their talent."[9] Principal photography for the film began in October 2012 with film's lead cast.[11] The film was shot in Goa, Mumbai and Cape Town.[12]

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". The Times of India rated the album 5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Aashiqui 2 tries, and succeed 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 need to be said that each should be seen for its own merit."[15] 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.[16]

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".[17] Planet Bollywood gave a rating of 6.5 out of 10 and wrote "The whole soundtrack provides a feel of 'Rock' in every composition which sounds a bit forced in some tracks, may be the movie demands such arrangements. Among the three composers, Ankit Tiwari and Mithoon shines with their single compositions, the rest of the songs by Jeet Ganguly lacks freshness and sounds repetitive apart from "Chahun Main Ya Na" and "Milne Hai Mujhse Aayi". All in all, a good soundtrack that works in parts and should work well alongside the narration of the movie!"[18]

Marketing and release

The first teaser was released on 22 March 2013, and was well received by critics and audiences.[19] Unlike other films whose theatrical trailers are released first, the makers of the film chose to release the songs before the trailer.[20] 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.[21] Various versions of the song were uploaded by amateur singers, guitarists and DJs on social networking sites.[22] It has been trending on Twitter and YouTube since its launch. The song was later described as the "Romantic anthem of the year".[22] Bhushan Kumar, the producer, said that the strategy of releasing the songs first helped in the marketing of the film. He said, "Once the music released and the tracks were a hit, it was easy to promote the film. Besides since it was already getting a good response, we decided to pull out all stops in promoting the film".[23]

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.[24][25] The poster used the "Iconic" "lovers under a coat" theme from the original film's poster, which is considered one the best allusions of love themed poster.[24] At the music release event, Aditya and Shraddha recreated the legendary scene from Aashiqui from under a jacket (much like the poster) on the stage.[24] The theatrical trailer was released in mid-April 2013, two weeks before the film's release, and was well received by critics and audiences.[20][26]

Unlike most Bollywood films which do months of promotion before the release, Aashiqui 2 had less than three weeks for promotion before its release.[23] A music concert where singers (who sang songs in the soundtrack album) performed to their respective songs was organised to promote the film.[27] 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.[28] As per the romantic theme, the film was originally planned for a Valentine's day release on 14 February 2013, but this was postponed because of production delays.[29][30] The film's new release date was 10 May 2013,[31] but it was released a fortnight early on 26 April 2013 in over 2800 screens across India.[32][33] The film was not released in key markets such as UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.[34]

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."[35] 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."[36] 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."[37]

Writing for Hindustan Times, Anupama Chopra rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and 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."[38] The film also received some mixed reactions from critics. Resham Sengar rated the film 2.5 and wrote, "Neither the story of the film is error-free nor is the direction unblemished. The scenes are dragged a bit too much at times and there are instances where the length of the sequences is abruptly shortened, which has hampered the quality of the entire film. The storyline’s logic does not go down well at several instances throughout the film." However, she liked the clear character sketch and wrote, "the characters have been given a neat sketch in the film. The point is that one does not have to rack his or her brains to understand the people in the film, and that helps in relating to the characters and the story."[39] India Today also gave the film a rating of 2.5 stars out of four, saying that it "is in no way about setting trends. 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." He also said the film "stretches a script worth an hour to its full runtime only because it wanted to accommodate all the songs", and that the music was "the film'™s real winner".[40]

Box Office

On its opening day, Aashiqui 2 collected about ₹5.25 crore (US$630,000)[41] and collected ₹17.92 crore (US$2.1 million) during its first weekend.[42] The film collected ₹34.65 crore (US$4.2 million) in its first week.[43] In the second week, despite new releases, it collected ₹17.35 crore (US$2.1 million), which took its two week box-office collections to ₹47 crore (US$5.6 million).[44] The film remained steady on weekdays and collected ₹11.50 crore (US$1.4 million) in its third week and total collections rose to ₹63.50 crore (US$7.6 million).[43] The film had the highest third week collections of 2013 to that date.[45] The film's revenues remained consistent in its fourth weekend and took its total to ₹71 crore (US$8.5 million).[46] 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.[43][47] 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$900,000) 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.[46]

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.[48] The film collected ₹100 crore (US$12 million) worldwide in its fourth week.[1]
