Love Story 2050 (2008)

I don't mind a time travel or futuristic theme but wtf? First half was slow but I understand it was to show off the actors abs and character development. Sana dies so building this character up was a waste but wait the hero's uncle built a time machine. Yay so the hero goes back in time to save her before she dies right?. Wrong. He goes to the future because he has a feeling. The feeling is called stupidity. Clearly the death of his lover drove him insane. insanely stupid that is. There is this lookalike called Zeisha. This Zeisha is an over the top character. can't blame Priyanka for this. The writing was just that bad. An Artificially stupid bull s**t teddy bear. What is the plan Karan? Convince her that she belongs to you and take her home. She should say no and kick him to the curb or even better and execute him because in the future his stupidity would be deemed obsolete. Wtf also she has a feeling too. Those two a*holes deserve each other. So they go back in time because she does not belong in the future anyway. They shall live stupidly ever after. Dear Karan The following comments are just for you, You f**ing dumb**s. 1.Zeisha is not Sana you S.O.B., 2. She looks like her cause she is her direct descendant not possible even then but more likely than her being a duplicate. 3. But in your time Zeisha was not even born yet so this is some super pedophilia.Acting and everything aside I'm sorry but I just couldn't get past the stupid logic or lack thereof in this movie.

I can see how if you actually paid money to see this in the theater and were expecting to view the first major Bollywood blockbuster, you would be very disappointed, and a 0-2 star rating would be understandable. However, my husband and I watched this last night on Netflix, so our expectations going into it were quite different than those of other reviewers.I don't know how my husband decided on this film other than it had to be listed under Sci-Fi, because otherwise he would never choose something like this. I walked in the room as the characters were breaking into song for the first time and laughed. "You're watching a musical?!" "I don't know, this is the first time it went this way." I expected him to immediately turn the movie off after the schmaltzy, young lovers suddenly broke out into a schmaltzier song, but for some reason we kept watching... and watching... all the way through the entire odd, even at times excruciating, three-hour production. Why?The hero and heroine of the story, two young lovers named Sana and (I can't recall the boy's name), were simply flat characters, but so are every prince and princess of all the classic fairy tales as they were originally written. It doesn't mean such a story can't be enjoyed, it just means you have to put more of yourself into it, or appreciate it on a more metaphorical level. Despite a lack of character development and a lot of predictability, we still wanted to see exactly how the happy ending was going to play out.The original concept of this film is great - a modern-day, Bollywood interpretation of The Time Machine, except instead of futilely, repeatedly returning to the past to try to keep his lover from dying, the young beau overcomes that snag by retrieving her from the future instead (in reincarnated form, of course). And there's a nice, little paradoxical twist thrown in. Our hero who was the thrill-seeking loner turned to mush by the sweet, goody-two-shoes Sana, is now the softy who has to win the hardened, self-absorbed, doesn't-need-anybody future Sana (now named Zeisha) all over again. The main problem of this film is its complete lack of editing. It's like a 90-minute teen romantic comedy and a 90-minute Sci-Fi/Action flick pasted together. If they could've stripped the romantic development down to just the basics, running at around half an hour, and then spent an hour on the Sci-Fi and action, this could potentially have truly been a Bollywood blockbuster. The hero's father and other elements should have been cut from the beginning, and the villain, Dr. Hoshi, was completely unnecessary to the second half, for example. The stereotypical, genius scientist uncle and generic siblings I can deal with. (They actually fit with this type of storytelling.)So, long story short, a great Sci-Fi/Romantic story concept that was beautifully rendered is botched by poor or nonexistent editing. What could have been a Bollywood blockbuster is reduced to at best a guilty-pleasure "bad" movie, as there are parts that are enjoyable if cheesy, if you can sit still that long. Love Story 2050 gets an A for concept, an A for effort, an F for editing, a B for effects and a C for everything else - so I think 6/10 is maybe a tad generous, but overall fair.

Oh god heaven's sake such a piece of crap God save usImagine if this is a future really then we better be in 2008 onlyBut wait!!!!! before going in the future, we must actually spend the first half cringing and yawning at the love story between Harman and PriyankaAnd of course Harman's father Harry has directed the film so lot of reels spend in trying to show his various qualities which are bad like slow motion introduction, plus lot more awkward comic scenesThe first half is a bore The second half is even worse and the villainy track is even worstThere is nothing remotely engaging in this yawn feastMaybe a few scenes but the impact is not thereDirection by Harry Baweja is mediocre Music is okayHarman tries to dance, look, talk, walk like Hrithik and looks like a poor clone of Hrithik and his voice sounds like Sonu Nigam and plus he is too awkward Priyanka is awful Boman irritates and overacts the rest are bad too

This is an overlong, ultra cheesy remake of HG Wells' Time Machine. The script is mangled almost beyond recognition by the makers. Clearly intended as a star vehicle for Harmen Baweja, the poor actor is forced to play second fiddle to leading lady Priyanka Chopra in Mumbai of the future. He comes across as a weak imitation of Hrithik. The Special Effects are are anything but special and simply not worth the hype. There are oddly offensive jibes at the Hindi language, and a ridiculous villain crops up suddenly out of nowhere. Truly awesomely and mindbogglingly pathetic. A must-avoid film!Overall 1/10
