I have watched and enjoyed so many Bollywood movies. This movie is a 10/10 on my IMDB. It has pleasant twists, amazing dancing throughout. It has a phenomenal plot, and very, very beautiful beautiful music throughout. Many of my favorite actors are here including Salman Khan, Rani Mukerji, John Abraham, Verma, and Amitabh Bachchan to name just a few. Amitabh Bachchan is utterly incredible in his acting. All actors really are. I won’t give away any of the plot, as I LOVED every minute of this movie. I don’t usually rewatch movies, but I will be rewatching this one multiple times.

This movie is extremely underrated. The plot moved quickly...it presented what it needed to and didn’t drag on. The music was beautiful. There is an awesome dance scene which was refreshing...it was beautiful ballet combined with lyrical dance depicting the suffering that the main characters had gone through. Excellent movie. I have been rewatching the dance scene because it is so emotional and beautiful and the music in it is beautiful too. Don’t let the low IMDB rating scare you. I was pleasantly shocked. This gets a 10 from me!

The writers of this film either experienced all these emotions on both the parents’ perspective and the child’s perspective or they seriously delved into the lives of those who have children with special needs! Especially it is difficult to understand, when a child looks visually like any other child, the child’s behavior. For awhile after birth the child is thought of as a behavior problem, and disciplined as such. Dad is often angry and harsh. Mom feels protective of her child, knows her child is not bad but misunderstood. She is frustrated and depressed, but loving too. The child is angry, depressed, confused and feels isolated. As such, the child acts out in socially unacceptable ways and has low achievement scores. My husband’s and my reactions and emotions were the same as in this movie with our “perfect looking” firstborn who had special needs. Our child’s responses were exactly the same as the child in this story. This movie is an unforgettable, unique masterpiece. Also it shines light on this problem and brings awareness to society. This is a “must watch” film.

I choose Bollywood movies from the ratings and also if I love the beautiful YouTube music and scenes. I don’t usually watch the trailers or actually read the reviews. I have watched about 6 Bollywood movies now with excellent ratings. I finished this movie before bedtime. I couldn’t stop crying! Such sacrificial love was portrayed. The subplots were all carefully developed and tied up nicely. Wonderful movie but I wouldn’t finish it before going to sleep!!!!

First, “A Star is Born” was an American movie developed in the 1950s. Then, Bollywood made 2 box office hit movies developed from this American movie....Aashiqi and Aashiqi 2. I just watched Aashiqi 2, and this version of “A Star is Born” pales in comparison. If I had watched this movie first, I would not have watched Aashiqi 2 since in this movie, the character and plot development was poor. When Jackson, as a famous singer, performed his first concert, his drunkenness and drug abuse he was struggling with should have been clearly emphasized on stage. The interactions he had with others as a result of this needed to be better developed also. Then, Jackson meets Ally, who works in a bar as a singer, and his drunken state is not emphasized there. Instead, there is an instantaneous sexual tension very apparent which should have only been hinted at there and then developed as he helped her train to become a better singer. Instead, his admiration for her singing abilities and his desire to help her rise to stardom needed to be the emphasis. As she was training to become a famous singer, simultaneously the plot could intertwine her rising to stardom, their extreme attraction that developed, and all his problems that drugs and alcoholism caused. The singing in the movie was excellent. I do think a very important message is emphasized better at the end: alcoholism and or drug addiction and depression are deadly.
