It is the journey of two characters, Alizeh and Ayaan as they navigate friendship, heartbreak and love – often together and sometimes apart. Alizeh is a fiercely independent girl, still reeling from the effects of the collapse of her relationship with a former love. Ayaan is a straight edged, preppy boy, with no remarkable experience in love or heartbreak, but nurturing a hidden desire to sing. They meet one night in New York, and a mutually life changing bond forms between them, that is ridden with humor, angst and a shared love of everything Bollywood. As they steer through life, their encounters and experiences shape their understanding of life, passion, love... and what it truly means to have a soulmate. How Alizeh and Ayaan, two people who connected and separated over love, find closure in the romantic and unromantic forms the crux of the film.… Expand

Inconsistent tonality, uneven pacing, and far too many self-referential winks dilute this tale of unrequited love before it even has a chance to fully develop. Read full review

Everything leads to a third-act twist that is absurdly shameless, even by Bollywood standards. Unfortunately, Johar doesn’t appear to have intended it as another joke. Read full review

The Guardian Mike McCahill

What’s odd is that the movie itself turns out not to be some incendiary provocation, but squarely Bollywood trad, a globetrotting weepie unlikely to offend anyone but the most entrenched. Read full review

Despite the iffy script, two of the film’s performances pack a punch. Read full review

While some areas of the film are ludicrous and repetitive, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is nevertheless an effective tearjerker bolstered by great performances across the board.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil ADHM A TAKE AFTER 3 WEEKS
This movie has been in headlines for three weeks, the portrayal of 'love', ‘fling’& 'friendship' in different light. Many run-off-the mill review writers are confused with age old concept of LOVE (a purpose of reproduction). They failed to understand the basic concept of LOVE. It is a psychological state and SEX is a physical relationship. Sex dilutes the love. SEX is always a form of hate, it has animal instinct. Sex does not mean love and love does not mean Sex.
There are many friendly relationships in life where we do not do sex. Once we perform SEX, then the charm of courtship is gone. If we recall the signature dialogues of Saba and Alize we will find the answer. 'Saba always says main kisi ki jaroorat nahi khayaish banana chahti huin.' Aliza say, 'Dosti me sukun hain, pyar me dard hain'. As the director has composed the characters, they don’t give importance to Sex. Aayan who is crave for a word LOVE and not SEX. He say, "I am not dying to have sex, I want love". He ask in one scene, Sex, not now then Alize shout at him saying, " thaapaad dun kya". If we recall the beginning, Alize sodomize his sexual desire by saying, "yaar tuze to kiss karna bhi nahi aata, ye kya hain, uuuuumha, aabu ya maami ki good mein baithe ho kya?"
Alize takes Aayan as a child and Aayan take her as motherly love. We need to understand there psychology which is complex. It is not 2+2=4. Every woman has a mother inside her. Every man searches an aspect of mother in a woman. This film has not given enough space to Saba. May be the real footage has gone in sensor cut. Indian films are getting better day by day. Now is the time for Indian sensor board to understand the changing society and trends. I watched this film 5 times and talked to many viewers, the youngsters have find this film very close to their heart as they confess, ‘ADHM is deals with their life, their story’. I had lovely experience when I asked girls and boys they started confessing how their story is also like this. To tell you their reaction, This is love, this is life, A moment of bliss is hard to find. May it be love a feeling which bind,
a tight warm cling for a span of fling. It is my trove, it is my life,
A moment of bliss is hard to find.… Expand
