Analysts say that Aashiqui 2 is not a sequel. It is neither a recreation of the successful film Aashiqui nor is a continuation of the story. The only resemblance its has with the earlier part is that it is a true-blue romantic saga. Aashiqui was all about the ego clashes between two couple who were celebrities while Aashiqui 2 is all about the true, selfless bond between two celebrities where they both are ready to sacrifice themselves for each other. However, it is important that Aashiqui 2 lives up to the mammoth expectations, since Aashiqui has had worked for significant factors like splendid music and strong emotional quotient.

The musical score in Aashiqui 2 is strong as well besides the emotional quotient. Tum Hi Ho was a huge hit and still the most loved song of many. The romance is lively in it, but it is the drama that catches our eyes. The dialogues penned by Shagufta Rafique are note worthy too.

On the whole, the \’AASHIQUIs\’ brings romance on the Hindi screens-intense, pure, selfless and heart-wrenching. It is a stirring account with brilliant shots, outstanding performances, strong emotional quotients and addictive music which makes the film worth watching for the romantics and thus it became the movies among the block blusters.
