Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal (2009) featured two parallel love tracks. One set in the present era while the other in the olden times. The filmmaker is now back with the second instalment in the series which will also have two parallel love tracks. Surprisingly, it also has the same title, Love Aaj Kal (2020).
The film stars Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan in lead roles along with Randeep Hooda and newcomer Arushi Sharma.
The two stories are set in 1990 and 2020. Sharing more about the film, an official statement from the makers said, “Imtiaz Ali shares his take on love in the modern times with a dash of nostalgia. Love Aaj Kal presents a contemporary and relatable portrayal of two stories set in different times that interact to learn (or perhaps unlearn!) from each other the different facets of love, commitment and relationships.”

The first poster of Love Aaj Kal shows Khan lying over a sleeping Kartik. She appears to be sad or worried as well. But all in all, the picture shows their deep bonding. Kartik and Khan play respectively the characters of Veer and Zoe.
Filmmaker Ali hasn’t had a box office hit in awhile. We will need to wait and watch if Kartik’s Midas touch at the ticket window can rescue him this time.
Produced by Maddock Films and Ali’s Window Seat Productions, Love Aaj Kal will be releasing this Valentine’s Day on 14 February.
