While watching the promotions of this movie, what struck me was the fact that the director Suneel Darshan kept emphasizing that he has made this movie keeping the Indian traditional values and principles in mind, which are missing in today's films. Sadly, the treatment of the movie is such that one wonders if the same traditional value system could be depicted on screen without the worn-out style of storytelling.
Andaaz 2 tells the story of our lead character, played by Aayush Kumar, who is a musician constantly belittled and mocked by his father for not earning enough, with only his mother by his side as a supportive shield. He meets his love interest Akaisha in the formulaic Bollywood style, and then there is the other heroine, played by Natasha, who becomes obsessed with him-much like the character played by Karishma Kapoor in Darshan's previous film, Mere Jeevan Saathi. The crux of the story is about the male lead and his struggles to win his father's approval, along with dealing with an obsessive employer and the risk of losing his love in the bargain.
Suneel Darshan's direction seems dated and stuck in the 90s. The problem is that not only is the treatment of the film very old-school, but the two female leads perform abysmally. Only the lead actor Aayush shows some promise. As for the other side characters, the less said the better-especially the very annoying Dolly Bindra, who plays the lustful neighbour constantly trying to seduce the male lead.
