Aashiqui 2’: At its core, film is simple, emotional

When in 1990 Mahesh Bhatt created the ‘dream’ called ‘Aashiqui’, little did he know that the film would receive the status of a cult upon its release. Twenty-three years down the line that dream of Mahesh Bhatt is on its way to be taken forward with ‘Aashiqui 2’. Director Mohit Suri has helmed the project this time around with newcomers Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor. The music of the film has already set on fire charts everywhere and what remains to be seen is whether or not the film will be able to re-create the magic that its predecessor had done two decades back.
