    "almost pyaar with dj mohabbat" is almost good.

    "almost pyaar with dj mohabbat" is almost good.

    This movie gave me a "love aaj kal" 2009 directed by imtiaz ali vibe. This movie kind of has a similar writing pattern, two love stories, two different places, similar looking people. Some scenes were really good, both the love stories worked for me to an extent. The performances were really good. Karan Mehta looks like a really good promising actor. Aalya was really good. Amit Trivedi's songs were nice. I was engaged till the end.

    The reviews were really bad, so i tuned into this movie with zero expectations, maybe that's why i thought the movie is pretty good. Vicky Kaushal's voice over didn't work for me actually, it was hard to figure out what he was telling and how it applied in the situations actually. The climax felt interesting, but still not that impactful and its a anurag kashyap movie, so the expectations are always high.

    Watch it with zero expectations, it might work, it kind of worked for me.

    Love shall bring the revolution

    The film "Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat" touches on various contemporary issues such as love jihad, same-sex marriage, patriarchy, and dysfunctional families. However, the director, Anurag Kashyap, fails to effectively deliver the message to the audience due to trying to address too many topics at once. The music by Amit Trivedi, who is known for his work in Kashyap's previous films, lacks the usual charm he brings to his music, although it may still connect with the younger generation. "Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat" is a niche film that requires the viewer to engage deeply with the drama, but it is still worth watching for its strong performances and pulsating soundtrack.

    Different but same from Anurag Kashyap

    The movie is very well written and directed as you never leave the writers world but only in a couple of places. You stay in that universe and feel exactly what the story wants you to feel. In some places story moves fast but does not feels rushed.

    The wisdom dropped by dj mohabbat explains why he is that popular and why people listen to him.

    The initial no connection between the stories and slowly the connections between both stories keep popping up and eventually the final scenes concludes both the stories together.

    Not much becomes too obvious in the story and when it does it makes the next scene that's coming feel even better. It didn't feel like a Anurag Kashyap movie ( now it'll be easier to say Anurag Kashyap doesn't have a type) Loved the movie and the acting by both the leads.

    A tale of "Undercooked" love,obsession and decision

    Anurag Kashyap is known for his intense love stories, and "Almost Pyar with DJ Mohabbat" is no exception. The film explores the complexities of underdeveloped love stories, where the protagonists are oblivious to the consequences of their emotions, leading to a tragic ending. Kashyap beautifully and delicately portrays the caste divide and inequality between the two lovers, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals in a society that is divided by these issues.

    However, the film lacks character development, leaving some viewers perplexed by the characters' decisions. The intended audience may be more mature and able to relate to the characters on a deeper level, but for others, it may be difficult to understand their motivations. Despite this, the film's nuanced approach to depicting the struggles of the characters adds depth and complexity to the story, making it worth watching and reflecting on the themes presented.

    In "Almost Pyar with DJ Mohabbat," the parallel worlds of the characters are portrayed beautifully, with Yaqub, a Muslim man, falling deeply in love with Amrita, a Hindu woman, in the hills of India. Their relationship is complicated by their different backgrounds and the societal pressure placed upon them. Meanwhile, the wannabe music producer finds himself in a difficult situation when a girl becomes obsessed with him.

    Overall, "Almost Pyar with DJ Mohabbat" is a thought-provoking film that delves into the complexities of love and societal issues in India. Although the character development could have been stronger, the film's nuanced approach to portraying the struggles of the characters adds depth and complexity to the story. It's a film that is definitely worth watching and pondering upon.

    Anurag is going the Ramu way

    After a tired weekend this was the last thing that I needed to see.

    The story ust never moves forward. It would have been a better short film.

    Didn't even stay till the end.

    Plot...what's that ... Could have been handled of a short story lol

    Screen play ..below average

    Actors ... mediocre to fine ... I belive they could have pulled more out of their roles...but it's the directors job.

    Music ...worth forgetting.

    I think after Bombay velvet this is the second atombomb on viewers brains.

    Hiroshima and Nagasaki package done ...now no more anuraag bhaia !!!

    Alert !! Please don't waste your hard earned money on this!

    Better watch old episode of TMKUC on Tv again or some standup comedy than this joke. It will atleast entertain.
