What is love? Romantic candle night dates a warm hug a kiss a physical relationship or a selfless act? Karan Johar’s directorialnbsp;Ae Dil Hai Mushkilnbsp;touches the fragile theme in a freshly brewed skillfully crafted tale.

ldquo;Love tedha haihellip;rdquo;nbsp;Alizeh Anushka Sharma tells Ayan Ranbir Kapoor as their friendship blooms on a terrace top. Fully filmy folks the two spark an instant connection and their bond ferments overnight into a heartfelt companionship.nbsp;

Dancing away to the beats ofnbsp;The Breakup Songnbsp;one nightnbsp;afternbsp;both of them are ditched by their partners they sketch out a joyride to the city of love Paris in Ayan’s ldquo;private jetrdquo;.

Bluffing as Rishi Kapoor and Sridevi playing scenes fromnbsp;Chandninbsp;in shiffon sarees on icy peaks listening to old classics likenbsp;Tohfa tohfa laya layanbsp;and dancing to Baby Doll Ayan and Alizeh live their Bollywood fantasies. nbsp;

quot;Ajeeb kahaani hai pyaar aur dosti ke kahaani ki… Pyaar humaara hero dosti humaari heroine!quot;

Alizeh doesnrsquo;t want thenbsp;sukoonnbsp;to turn intonbsp;junoon and says she doesnrsquo;t love Ayan as she doesnrsquo;t wants to lose him. Soon after she turns to her long lost love DJ Ali played by Fawad Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan enters as the gorgeous poetess Saba in Ayan’s life.nbsp;

Will Ranbir ever find true love? With a bundle of joyful surprises and delightful twists the story churns out complicated love in the story laced with heartwarming song and dance sequences. nbsp;

The trophy for keeping it hunky dory from beginning to end goes to Ranbir. Rich brat happy-go-lucky funny chap flirty romeo diehard romantic naughty boy lovelorn soul faithful fellow soul mate ndash; he beautifully portrays diverse colours of his persona on celluloid.nbsp;

Anushka shines in her part and lends an interesting edge to Alizeh’s character. Aishwarya with stunning looks and stylish outfits makes viewers fall for her. Fawad impresses in his true-to-his-character performance and steals hearts with his shocker dance sequences.

The breezy jokes make you chuckle the cheesy pick-up lines make you giggle the camaraderie makes you grin and the unrequited emotions make you mushy. The dance tracks make you groove and the melodious songs make you hum along! Not enough? The biggest jackpot Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt’s surprise package takes your breath away.

A glint of commendable Urdunbsp;shayarisnbsp;bring the glimmer in the dialogues of the film written by Karan and Niranjan Iyengar!

In the second half the storyline begins to stumble and a few faults bring the temperament down. Not for long though as Anushka and Ranbir save the day!

So what is love? Karan sends his message straight ndash; to love someone you donrsquo;t have to be in a relationship get physical or go on dateshellip; love is friendship understanding carehellip; a connection that goes deeper than any husband-wife relationship!

In his trademark style KJo brings the curtains down in high spirits promising 100 percent entertainment on your platter. It’s time to gorge on the movie spread love and light in the festive mood and celebratenbsp;Ae Dil Ki Diwali!
