Ae Dil Hai Mushkil movie review: Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma starrer highlights beauty of unrequited love

Karan Johar movies may have set the benchmark for the portrayal of glamorous lifestyles but they also unfailingly offer a kaleidoscope of emotions. The latest release of the 44-year-old director - 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' - has successfully managed to touch the hearts of the audience with its interesting storyline and brilliant performances.

The plot revolves around MBA student Ayan (Ranbir Kapoor) who bumps into Alizeh (Anushka Sharma) at a party. And they feel the sparks and decide to pursue their friendship forward. As expected, both Ranbir and Anushka belong to wealthy families – the jet set tribe. Despite all the Bollywood cliches, 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' makes a positive impression on the viewers from the opening scene.

The first half of the flick is super-high on the entertainment quotient. Some sequences are hilarious enough to make you go ROFL.

Sadly, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is not there throughout the movie. She makes her first appearance in the second-half and takes control of the script. Every look of Aishwarya is spilling glamour all over the screen. What makes 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' more interesting is the sensual electricity that Ranbir and Aishwarya produce with their romance.

The second-half of the movie is high on emotions and intense drama. This also dampens the flow which the movie gained in its first-half.

Huge credit must also be given to the casting of 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' as every actor fits in the shoes of its character perfectly.

'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' is flooded with cameos. Lisa Haydon has surpassed all her roles by delivering a hilarious performance in this film. Alia Bhatt and Imran Abbas will also be seen making delightful appearances. the man of the hour - Fawad Khan - takes the hotness quotient sky high.
