Aashiq Banaya Aapne – leaves much to be desired

Rating:- *

The problem with AASHIQ BANAYA AAPNE is that the love triangle is rather lifeless, and listless, and outdated too.

Karan [Sonu Sood] loves Sneha [Tanushree Dutta], but does not have the guts to tell her his true feelings.

Vicky [Emraan Hashmi], Karan's childhood friend is just the opposite of Karan, bold and a notorious flirt. All three lives change when Vicky joins Karan and Sneha in college and Sneha is drawn towards Vicky.
Knowing Vicky’s habits, Karan tells him about his love for Sneha, But lo, Vicky assures him that he too is in love with Sneha. A situation arises.

The closeness between Vicky and Sneha crosses all boundaries and just as everything seemed set between the two, everything is shattered one night. Sneha turns to Karan for support. By now Karan has also mustered courage to propose to Sneha.

After Sneha and Karan are engaged, Vicky re-enters their lives. And everyone’s life changes.

If the first half is devoid of anything interesting, you expect some movement in the story after the interval, but nothing worthwhile happens except a somewhat provocative song.

Aaditya Datt's direction is as poor as his script. The biggest drawback of the film is that you go on looking for something new which you don’t get.

On the plus side, Himesh Reshammiya's music is foot-tapping and racy. The title track is the best of the lot, followed by 'Aapki Kashish' and 'Marjava Mitjava'. The picturization of a few songs, mainly the title track, is fascinating.

Emraan Hashmi is the only actor who adds that extra something to his character. The naughty streak in his character is most appealing and is on similar lines as the one portrayed by him in MURDER.
Sonu Sood doesn't look like a college student. Tanushree oozes confidence, is an okay actor, but needs to go easy on her makeup garish and outfits shoddy.
