Aashiqui.in is a romantic comedy set against the backdrop of a beach town in India. It is a modern day story revolving around relations on the internet. Director Shakadeep has chosen a trendy topic and it could have been a super film otherwise. It has a bit of comedy along with romance in the movie and could appeal to audience in metros. Aashiqui.in movie review…
Ishaan as Cyrus is the college swimming champ. He often gets confused when it comes to making decisions in his life. He wants to be a writer but his dad wants him to be a national level swimmer.
Cyrus and April meet randomly online and they start getting close but they never reveal their true identities.
Cyrus hides his dream from his dad because all he has in his family is his dad and he does not want to disappoint or hurt him. He and his group of friends are quite popular in college but he feels out of place when with them. He needs someone in his life who can really understand him.
Ankita as April, an average girl next door who lives with her step mother and step sisters. After her dad passed away, they started treating her like a servant. She goes to college and does part time work in the evening to earn her pocket money. The only person close to her is childhood friend Raj. April has worked hard and is trying for scholarship for further studies but things don’t go as planned…
But patience runs out and they finally decide to meet. Somehow April manages to find out his true identity but Cyrus fails to do so. April thinks that Cyrus is too good for her and tries to sulk away in the fear of rejection whereas Cyrus looks for her everywhere as she was the only one who could understand him as a friend and as a lover…
There is a poor orphan girl at the mercy of wicked stepmother and evil stepsisters. We also have a rich Prince Charming as well and there is a costume dance.
The party room clock strikes at 12 midnight, and a shoe is left behind and a search for the Cinderella girl begins, followed by dreadful obstacles occurring in the climax.
Will Cyrus and April finally meet? Will Cyrus accept April for what she really is? Will April find the courage to be herself and claim the life she’s always wanted?
Despite the attempt, Aashiqui.in is nowhere near the Cinderella movie – which its supposed to be inspired from. There is no melody in the music and the background score that is composed by Nitin Kumar Gupta and Prem Hariya and lyrics penned by Nitin Kumar Gupta.
Aashiqui.in has nothing novel in its story, nor its presentation. The new comers are fine while the rest of the cast are below average. It is a good watch when one has nothing else better to do.
