    Movie is good but with a lot of confusion

    Movie is good but with a lot of confusion. I didn't understand this parallel story running side by side . First, I thought it's some Love Aaj kal style storytelling and in whole movie I was just guessing the connection between the two stories but Director never explained clearly even in the climax. If I leave that aspect aside , then movie is watchable and understandable .

    Songs are the heart and soul of this movie. You would really like to listen those songs again n again after movie is over. After songs, acting is the strong point of the movie. Alaya F has again showed her talent and she is emerging as a breakthrough star. Karan was good in Indian story but quite dull in performance in London story.

    Story is mediocre but it will not matter you after film toggles between both plot side by side b'cos your mind starts linking the connection between the two plots. Don't use much brain otherwise you would get frustrated and not focus and enjoy movie and songs.

    One star removing just for confusing plot otherwise you would loving the character especially the Indian one. Go and give it a try once.

    Almost Pyaar with DJ Bhanchu

    Disgusting movie name ever. I recently watched the film "Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat," which was a complete waste of time. The plot was so convoluted that following what was happening half the time was impossible. The characters were poorly developed and lacked depth, making it hard to care about their fates.

    The acting was also incredibly subpar. The actors seemed to go through the motions without emotion or conviction. The clunky and unrealistic dialogue made the whole experience feel incredibly forced and artificial.

    The special effects were laughably bad, and the soundtrack was so generic that I couldn't even remember a single song. The cinematography was unremarkable, and the film was not visually interesting or captivating.

    Overall, "Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat" is a film that should be avoided at all costs. It's a poorly written, badly acted, and executed movie mess. Save your time and money and watch something else instead.

    "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.

    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.

    Almost Anarchy with a Gen-Z Kashyap.

    My Rating : 7/10

    After 2018's excellent Manmarziyaan Anurag Kashyap takes on a much more wilder take on love with 'Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat'. The usual dark ingredients are all there which we have come to love about him - controversial themes, political awareness, rebellion for mainstream, and to top it off - Amit Trivedi's beautiful soundtrack weaving it altogether in a nice tasty tapestry of a coup d'état of Bollywood and box office.

    It is exactly as one would expect it - going over risqué territory without taking itself too seriously. Kashyap knows he's not aiming to make another 'Gangs' or 'Gulaal' - this is a bit more pretentious but on purpose and it works well I reckon.

    The theory, history and culture of film is loosely discounted more or less - the viewer isn't expected to look for something transcendental, existential or spiritual for that matter. The script aptly responds to the talent of the newcomers and the style and poetics of the world created by the director. It's taken seven years for this to be taken from three to two-dimensions.

    The final crescendo is the director casting off his known ingredients into a modern crucible, and transmutating into perhaps his rendition of Generation Z love - The climax shows the characters preparing for the proverbial kill in all its vulpine forms - a form of power play that the director hopes in a culture of paranoia, nihilism and misogyny can be recovered through that four-letter word in English. No, not that one, the other one.

    Distinctively Kashyap!
