Love Story 2050 Movie Review

Love Story 2050
Love Story 2050 - Harry fails, Harman impresses
Direction: Harry Baweja
Production: Pammi Baweja
Music: Anu Malik
No doubt director Harry Baweja succeeds at drawing the masses to the setting of the future but the biggest flaw of lovestory comes with the lack of really any love quotient. Somehow, you are not able to feel for the protagonist’s love for Sana(Priyanka Chopra).The movie starts off well with Harman’s introduction and then begins to drag into a series of clichés.
The 1st Half goes on and on as the usual boy meets girl , tries to impress her , sings a couple of songs etc. Without a matter of doubt the 1st half ends with a twist similar to Hrithik’s ‘Kaho Na Pyaar Hai’ but without even half the impact left behind by Hrithik and the gang.

Priyanka Chopra does a lot in supporting Harman throughout this flick but even her bit falls flat without a clear cut definition of her character who falls in love too easily. She isn’t close to her best performances and often comes across as a dumb and silly character especially with that Zeisha bit.
