Imtiaz has always been that one person who never flinched away from showing the reality even when it is ugly. The emotions aren't censored/sweetened. Irrespective of trying to convince people with pathos & moral compass, he throws the real chaos of real characters.

If you call it a mess, well you should, because his intention is the same. No love is structured and his emphasis on how you don't even realize that you have messed up while thinking you'd never mess up is something every human does, atleast once in life, with varying intensity.

Commitment, career and confusion; in the complicated lanes of love and gender, much remains the same. While exploring the today's infidelity, casual sex and dysfunctional relationships; Imtiaz succeeds in showing the deeper shades of love while questioning if it exists.

Despite the lame family stories and their impact, and the repetitive qualms between the leads, #LoveAajKal has the potential to connect, & mostly for Hooda, his guilt his pain, his search and his suffering. A man, who looks for himself in others to feel a little less incomplete.

The reason why this did not work with is because as the movie quotes initially, everyone has their own definitions of love, and majority of the them did not match the one shown.

An advice is - you can try watching it, at 3, when you're trying to find yourself in someone else.
