Aashiqui 2 is supposedly a musical like Aashiqui so let's start with that. The songs of Aashiqui 2 are good, but that's it. Many people believe the best part of the release is that the songs of the original Aashiqui are being re-played on FM again. It brought Kumar Sanu to the fore as the leading singer of the 1990s. Arijit singh has done well but his voice strongly reminds you of Mohit Chauhan. What Mithoon, Jeet Ganguly and Ankit put together are no match for Nadeem Shravan. Aashiqui had easy lyrics which could easily garner mass appeal, barring “Tum Hi Ho” and “Sun Raha Hai” none of the other songs will stay long in your memory for this film.
Aashiqui 2 is a story of a falling star turned drunkard, Rahul Jaykar, or RJ(Aditya Roy Kapoor). It is his discovery of Aarohi Shirke’s(Shraddha Kapoor’s) talent which drives the film forward. The movie then moves onto the Abhimaan(The great film by Bachhans' and Hrishikesh Mukherjee) route, where success of one of the lovers and the failure of the other is the main conflict in the story. I will not even try to compare the writing here with that of Abhimaan.
