Anupama Chopra's review: Aashiqui 2

Aashiqui 2 is about two singers in love. It has the Abhimaan angle of a famous artiste, Rahul, played by Aditya Roy Kapur, discovering a small-town girl, Aarohi, played by Shraddha Kapoor, and mentoring her to glory. But director Mohit Suri and writer Shagufta Rafique update the story. The predictable jealousy angle as the partner becomes more famous is sidelined for a thornier problem - he is an alcoholic. So, in fact, Aarohi's success becomes Rahul's salvation. For a while at least, it forces him to engage with life again.

Aashiqui 2: the proverbial rock star returns?

At the peak of his career, a rock star discovers talent in a shy female singer, whom he falls in love with. While she goes on to become a successful singer, he loses his career and then his mind. She, being the honest girlfriend, then helps him revive his career, and thus, their relationship. Reports claim the film is not a sequel or prequel to Aashiqui, even though its poster is similar to that of the 1990 hit.
