Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Fawad Khan, Anushka Sharma and Shah Rukh Khan’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil trailer released yesterday and we were blown away! Yes, the trailer was phenomenal. Not only is it visually appealing, the performance of all the actors and the intriguing story line had us hooked. In fact, the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil touches every feeling in your body. It not only makes us smile, but also makes us laugh, cry, dance and even fall in love with all the characters, especially Ranbir and Aishwarya! And now that Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is just around the corner, we can’t wait to watch the movie… However, there is one thing that is bothering us. Recently, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was being compared to Rockstar and we think it is totally unfair.
Everyone has been talking about how Ranbir’s part and the whole movie looks like what the actor played in Rockstar. The comparisons started when the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil teaser was released. The whole world saw the trailer and came to know that Ranbir is playing a singer once again! Yes, the actor had played a singer in Rockstar too. But that wasn’t the only similarity. If you remember, Ranbir falls for Nargis Fakhri in Rockstar, but she doesn’t reciprocate. In Ae Dil Hai Mushkil too, RK falls for Anushka and Aishwarya but neither of them reciprocate the love he has for them. While Anushka wants to be just friends, Ash just wants a physical relationship with RK in ADHM…
But if you look at other aspects of Rockstar and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, then you will realise that both the films are very different and the comparisons are totally baseless… And to justify our thought further, let me give you a few reasons why Ae Dil Hai Mushkil should NOT be compared to Rockstar… ALSO READ – Ranbir Kapoor’s role in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil similar to that in Rockstar?
# Direction
So, the first and main reason why the film should not be compared are coz of the director. While Imtiaz Ali directed Rockstar, Karan Johar has directed Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Now this point is very important, so listen carefully. Every director be it Karan or Imtiaz, they have different styles of direction as well as different understanding for the same subject. For Imtiaz love and music is something else, while for Karan it is something else. This is similar to hoe your opinion about a movie or star might be different from mine. Right? So when two director have different understandings, they shoot it in a different manner and the end result is different. So even though Ranbir is a singer in Rockstar and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and his love isn’t reciprocated in both the films, his characters in both the films will be very different and he will emote his feelings in some other coz of his directors. You will totally realise this when you see the film. ALSO READ – 10 scenes from Ranbir Kapoor-Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil trailer you will find in every Karan Johar film
# Emotions that you feel
Coming to the second point, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil won’t be as dark as Rockstar! We just saw the trailer of ADHM yesterday and we saw love, happiness, masti, heartbreak and romance. So, we are sure, we will see all of that when the film releases. This is very different from what Rockstar was about. Yes, the Imtiaz Ali directorial did have fun, love, romance and heartbreak too, but it was very dark as compared to Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. You will totally feel happy after seeing ADHM, which wasn’t what we felt after watching Rockstar. In the latter, we saw how Ranbir would up destructing himself while trying to find his way in life. We saw him hurl abuses, fight with fans, fight with the police, hit people and much more at one point too. We won’t see anything like this happen in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil… ALSO READ – Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Trailer video: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma’s COMPLICATED love triangle has us HOOKED!
# Plot twists
Thirdly, their are quite a few important characters including Fawad Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Imran Abbas Naqvi who will bring about interesting twists in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil‘s story. Rockstar, on the other hand, was basically about Nargis and Ranbir. Only the situations in their life brought about changes in the plot and no body else…
# Main focus point
Fourth and final reason why Ae Dil Hai Mushkil shouldn’t be compared to Rockstar, is coz we won’t see Ranbir singing throughout ADHM like he did in Rockstar. There is more to his character than just singing. Yes, he is a singer and will be seen singing in the movie, but we will see him romance, fall in love, have heart breaks and much more. His love life is the prime focus in the Karan Johar directorial. On the other hand, the musical career was the main focus in Imtiaz Ali’s film, while his love story ran parallel to the story. And so, we saw Ranbir singing at many occasions in Rockstar, while we will see less of that in ADHM.
