Love Story 2050 Movie Review

VIEW VIDEOS!!!

Harry Baweja has given a lavish launch for his son Harman. A lesson here for star fathers wanting to launch their sons. On a scale of 1-10, it matches 10 on 10 when it comes to comparing it to Papa Roshan's launch, KAHO NA PYAAR HAI... for his son Hrithik. The obvious comparison is unavoidable given the Hrithik-like looks that Harman has and his dancing skills and mannerisms that he consciously or subconsciously incorporates. There is a distinct resemblance in his dialogue delivery as well to that of Hrithik.

Does this movie match to the 2000 monster hit, which catapulted Hrithik into instant stardom? Not really. But first, kudos to Harry for trying something different. He has thought ahead of his time, literally and pitch forked his script into the year 2050. That is where the story takes a dip for the worst.

Karan (Harman) is a rich boy looking for love. His mother passed away when he was very young and his dad is too busy looking after his business. He runs into Sana (Priyanka Chopra) while on a jog. Fate sets up another meeting when Sana mistakes him to be her friend's boyfriend. One thing leads to another and the two are soon in love. Karan has an uncle who is a scientist (Boman Irani) who is experimenting with a time machine.

Once, Sana and Karan enter the time machine and 'enter' Mumbai 2050, as their destination, the place they want to be. However, the time machine is not ready and nothing happens, with the exception of a short circuit. One day when Sana and Karan are out for a drive, she meets with an accident and dies. Karan is shattered. Uncle meanwhile stumbles on the correct formula to set the time machine in motion. The two then set out to meet Sana in the future.

Sana in 2050 is now Zeisha, a very popular singer. She has no recollection of her past life as Karan once again tries to win her heart. He does manage, and dodges a cruel doctor to make it to the time machine seconds before it can take-off back to where it came from the year 2008.
