The FUTURE is Here!!!. Review on Love Story 2050

I didn’t had much expectation from this one and I wanted to watch it chiefly because I was curious as to how Harry Baweja has depicted future! And with this curiosity I went for Love Story 2050 on the first day itself. And I came out thoroughly impressed. Love Story 2050 has glitches, but overall it’s a must watch movie.

The story of the movie: Karan (Harman Baweja), a 23-year old spoilt brat of a rich man (Dalip Tahil) is living in Sydney. One day he meets Sana (Priyanka Chopra) and falls for her instantly. Slowly, she also falls in love with her. Meanwhile, Karan’s uncle, Uncle Ya (Boman Irani) manages to construct a time machine after 15 years of hard work. Sana expresses her wish to travel to Mumbai, her birthplace but in the year 2050! 4 days later, Karan, Uncle Ya and Sana’s younger brother and sister travel to Mumbai in 2050 but without Sana. Where is Sana? Why didn’t they travel with her? Why did they travel in the future? Is there any special reason for it?

Love Story 2050 works chiefly because it deals with time-travel. The effects used in the scenes of future are totally eye-catching and a delight to watch! However, the 2050 sequence begins at the intermission point. But even before that, the movie entertains.

Some of the scenes in the 1st half were excellent and stand out. The bike race, the roller coaster scene, and Harman chasing Priyanka’s bus scene were some of the scenes which are truly unforgettable. The tragedy 10 minutes before the intermission was of course the highpoint.

However, the best scene of the movie is when Harman and his gang arrive in 2050 and see the flying cars and 200-floor buildings for the first time. This scene was truly remarkable and surely the best!

The 2nd half was nice too but things begin to wrong here. The director concentrated more on the life in 2050 by showing about the robots, flying cars, life of common people. The director doesn’t stress more on the love story and therefore you don’t feel much for the characters Karan and Sana in the 2nd half. Another problem is that there was also a villain in this movie (someone called Dr Hoshi!). This villain part looked forced and it’s evident that it was added to make the goings-on more dramatic. However, it could have been penned better.

The worst thing about the movie is that they have shown New York as Sydney! I instantly guessed that it was not Sydney because if they had really shot there, then the makers would have shown Sydney Opera House or the Harbour Bridge in at least one of the scenes. But they didn’t! Mr Baweja, you can fool the audiences but you cannot fool me!!

Harman Baweja does an excellent job and certainly deserves a pat on his back! He carried the film on his shoulders and did a splendid job. Dialogue delivery, dance, emotional scenes-he did everything perfectly! Watch out for the scene when he breaks down in front of Boman Irani after the tragic sequence! He was splendid in that scene! Harman surely has a long way to go and will surely rock in the future!

Priyanka Chopra looks beautiful, especially in the 1st half. Her look in the 2nd half was little weird but though, she did justice to both the characters of hers and came up with a winning performance.

However, the cutest in the movie were the robots! There are 2 robots in the movie-QT and Boo and both are very very sweet! QT is shown to be a sweet, charming and attractive female robot while Boo is a small-sized playful, mischievous and sweet. These robots were quite entertaining especially QT! I wished I had a robot like QT!

Boman Irani was fabulous and it’s great to see him doing different type of roles in each movie! Archana Puran Singh was funny! The kids were wasted. Gulshan Gover wonderfully voiced the character of masked Dr Hoshi.

Anu Malik’s music was melodious and was futuristic, especially in the song ‘Milo Na Milo’. The best songs of the movie are ‘Milo Na Milo’, ’Sach Kehna’ and ‘Milo Ka’. Monty Sharma’s background score was first-rate.

Dialogues were quite good. The two best dialogues are: “I don’t need luck. I have love!” and “Robots have more feelings than you!” Vijay Arora’s cinematography was perfect.

Special mention should be made of the art direction and special effects. The sets, made by Umang Kumar, were outstanding, perfect and eye-catching! And the special effects were of the finest quality and fantastic. Because of the superior effects, one feels like watching a Hollywood movie.

Dwarak Warrier’s sound design was truly splendid! Harry Baweja and Rowena Baweja’s screenplay was good, and it’s evident that they are heavily inspired by Krrish.

Harry Baweja’s story was quite interesting but at the same time quite waferthin. But he does a good job as a director. He commits some mistakes because of which the film falls short of a masterpiece!

Some of the best scenes of the movie:

1.    Harman and Priyanka’s entry

2.    The bike race

3.    The roller coaster scene

4.    Karan chasing Sana’s bus (Interesting!)

5.    Karan and Sana doing this they haven’t done before

6.    The tragedy just before the interval

7.    The intermission point (splendid!)

8.    QT’s entry!

9.    Boo calling QT!

1. The song ‘Milo Na Milo’ and ‘Meelon Ka’

   
   




2. The climax

   
   

On the whole, Love Story 2050 is a fabulous entertainer. The film has few glitches but overall it provides a new refreshing and ‘futuristic’ experience. And don’t watch it on VCD/DVD. Watch it on big screen and enjoy the journey to the future!
