The trailer of Ali Zafar and Aditi Rao Hydari’s film London Paris New York is just out. Have a look.
The film is written and directed by debutant Anu Menon and produced by Shrishti Arya and Goldie Behl along with Fox Star Studios.
A new couple, shot well and looks fresh. Just wish that they had paused a bit on those sketches that appear and disappear even before you can blink. More so when the film’s title is on the names of the cities. Who doesn’t like cities as characters in films? Ali Zafar and Aditi Rao are pleasing to eyes, and as a couple, there’s some kind of charming and cool comfort onscreen. Only issue – her babytalk in the last shot.
And here’s the official synopsis…
London Paris New York is a film that captures the angst of the twenties, the most dramatic period of one’s life – when you have to find a career, you have your first significant relationship and most importantly form your identity in this world.
This is story about Lalitha, a middle class south Indian girl from Chembur(an eastern suburb in Mumbai) who is on her way to New York to study politics with full scholarship, and Nikhil, a Punjabi, rich kid from Bandra (a posh western suburb of Mumbai )who is going to study Film Making in London on 100% dad’s money. They decide to hangout together one evening in London and find that they are completely drawn to each other even as their future lies on separate continents.The film follows their personal journey and their love story as they meet in London, Paris and New York for a night each over eight years. The film is in three chapters and each chapter is shot in a manner that mirrors the mental state of Nikhil and Lalitha.
The trailer looks good, except for Aditi’s voice.
But, why does this remind me of ‘A Lot Like Love’, starring Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet.
Trailer looks good but why I feel a combined version of Before sunrise and Before Sunset.
Yes, the synopsis reminded me of Before Sunrise and After Sunset
its like a new generation of film makers who have grown up on romances like before sunrise and before sunset.i am pretty sceptical that the magic of those films can be recreated in bollywood ishtyle
A remake of Hum Tum? 😀
Aditi’s voice…and Ali Zaffar’s err…face. While much can be done about the former not much can be done about the latter can it?
What’s wrong with Ali Zafar’s face 😛
As for the trailer… looks good but nothing new…
Strains of ‘One day’ ?
Jitu, hehehe, personal choice re. I know ppl find him hot, I find him a little errr… ‘retarded’ looking (and acting) 😛 Par koi baat nahi, as long as he does a good job…which in one film he did, another didn’t, so can’t say. Anyways, dekhte hain which way the wind blows this time…
