Love aaj kal is Imtiaz’s next direction after a cute love story jab we met (2007). Certain things doesn’t change with time, of course the process changes, this is what the movie’s theme is. Today, a couple like Jai (Saif) and Meera (Deepika) could be found anywhere, the break ups and getting involved with someone else but the movie proves that purity and feeling of love never changes.

Jai doesn’t believe in eternal love. According to him, true love exists only in books and one has to be practical. After having relation for more than one year with Meera, their life takes them to different directions. They accept this easily and decided to have a break up as they don’t believe in long-distance relationships. To describe love kal Imtiaz put in the character of Veer Singh (Rishi Kapoor) who falls in love with Harleen at first sight. But soon after some days Harleen’s family takes her to Kolkata, when Veer comes to know about this, he also goes to the same place to get his love.

On his meeting with Jai, he finds it strange to observe the absence of passion in love matters. On the other side Jai is shocked to see how Veer could have been so silly about Harleen. Rest of the movie deals with how Veer and Meera realised the existence of true love for each other.

Saif did a fabulous job. Deepika plays Meera so effectively; you're left wondering who else could have done the role. Rishi Kapoor as a love guide was brilliant. The girl playing Veer Singh's love interest is suited to the character. Dialogs are funny. Music is super hit. Imtiaz Ali's direction was so successful in traversing between two eras and he told the story superbly.

Love aaj kal is cute, funny, entertaining and romantic love story.
