My Verdict: 7/10
Aashiqui 2 is a Love Story which is inspired by a 1971's  Amitabh Bachchan starer Abhimaan. The protagonist, Rahul Jaykar, played by Aditya Roy Kapoor, is a popular singer & has a severe drinking problem. The movie starts as the protagonist is to perform on stage but he is busy consuming alcohol. He consumes some and climbs up the stage for singing one of his very popular songs. However his stage performance is disturbed by a bunch of goons but that night he meets a girl who changes his life. The beautiful Aarohi, played by Shraddha Kapoor, is an innocent girl who has come to Goa to earn a living but can't do much. So this Rahul Jaykar, who is quite a popular singer and a big shot in Music Industry accidentally meets this girl and falls in love with her voice and apparently with her. He is determined to make her a super-star as he finds the girl promising. So he does all he can to make her popular. In a significant amount of time, after putting in much hard work, she indeed becomes popular and a Super-star. She wins some amazing awards for singing and the two of them fall in love. This is when the problem between them starts as a jealousy factor creeps in. She becomes popular while he is losing his popularity. He misses his old popularity and his habit of drinking starts to eat him up. His minds gets filled up with all sorts of negativity. Our sweet Aarohi does everything she can to help him out. But all her efforts worsen the conditions and he keeps on drowning deep in the sea of alcohol only to die in the end.
                           The movie is simple, believable. Screen play is good and acting by most actors is plausible. Sound tracks and music is undoubtedly amazing.Songs are the best part of the movie. Shraddha's acting disappoints me but her beautiful looks more than compensated for the short-coming in her acting efforts. All in all the movie is a beautiful romantic drama. A must see for all love-birds out there.
