Ae Dil Hai Mushkil- A melange of all KJo movies
The much-awaited Ae Dil Hai Mushkil has been just released. As far as the first reports of the movie collections suggest, the movie is doing good at the box office. But how is the movie? Is it worth watching? Is it one of Karan Johar’s best directorial? Who gave the best performance? Well, for all those who haven’t watched it yet, we have all your questions answered.
We all have a set picture in our minds when it comes to Karan Johar’s movies. Beautiful locations, soulful songs, lots of romance and drama and of course, brilliant performances. Yes, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil has it all.
Amazing performances
Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma are the stars of the movie. Their performances as Ayaan and Alizeh are brilliant. Aishwarya Rai looks nothing less than a diva in the movie. Her extended cameo in the movie gives the much-required additional spark. Shahrukh Khan and Fawad Khan do all the justice to their special appearances.
Soulful music
The title track of the movie is already hitting all the music charts and all thanks to the magical voice of Arijit Singh. The music adds so much magic to this romantic drama that the onscreen heartbreak makes you cry. Channa Mereya, another one by Arijit is a beautiful music number of the movie. Other songs of the movie, Bulleya, The Breakup Song and Cutiepie are good too.
Too much Kjo
While Karan was directing this one, he put in too much from his earlier movies. Yes, there were scenes where we could see Rahul and Anjali from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Aman and Naina from Kal Ho Na Ho. With this one, we were expecting Karan to spread the magic with something fresh. However, we didn’t get an opportunity to see it.
Not very interesting second half
The movie takes us through friendship, love, emotions and drama. While the first half is very entertaining, the second half stretches the one-sided love thing too much…all that is so yesterday. This half stretches so much that we start losing interest at a point and that is one big drawback of the movie.
Our rating: 3/5
So, this one has equal goods and bads. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil teaches a lot about one sided love. It would meet the viewers expectations in the sixties, but not in 2016. We would say that this is a good watch for everyone. Ranbir is the star highlight of the movie and he will keep you hooked up to your seats till the end. Ranbir Kapoor fans are you reading?

A Day Trip Through Mols Bjerge
We reached the main area of the Mols Bjerge national park which is basically just never ending grasslands, in the most panoramic setting. You see the sea in a distance and the beautiful blue sky, while breathing the freshest air you could experience. Hiking is a strong word since the terrain of this national park is sufficiently flat but you do have beautiful pathways made by walkers on a trail called the ‘Italian Trail’. When I asked my Dane why it is called so, she casually replied with “I have no idea.” Not that you would care much once you start this hike, as you will be mesmerised by the serenity of nature. We walked about 8 kilometers and animal wise only saw some very comfortable and cute cows, but the experience overall was comforting and refreshing. The trail is easy to traverse so anyone who doesn’t mind walking should go for it! We did a little picnic in the middle of the park with the sandwiches we had packed from home. The scenery is amazingly picturesque so having a camera is a great idea.
Now being content with the nature, we wanted to check out the lighthouse on a beach on our way. Windy is an understatement for that day, but we didn’t mind. It was an adventure of it’s own. The lighthouse is a tiny one on a beautiful beach but with a lot of history. We were invited inside by a very kind Danish lighthouse guide who showed us around and let us visit for free because we were foreigners. We walked up the spiral staircase and were hit by a million km per second wind as soon as we stepped outside the top of the lighthouse. But after the sudden hit of wind we were overtaken by the view of the sea and the lands under us. The views were like nothing we had ever seen before. Having the lighthouse all to ourselves, we got comfortable, sat on the ledge and stayed there just looking for 20-25 minutes. Those 25 minutes we felt like we were watchers of the sea and owners of a lighthouse. Quite a brilliant feeling to have, really.
We left reluctantly but we were excited about our final pit stop, which was a tiny, fairy-tale town called Ebeltoft, which looked right out of a storybook. Ebeltoft was a town with a small street of colourful houses, cafes and tourist shops. We fell in love with the colours of the place. There was a small fair with fresh candied apples that tasted divine, warm caramel bite in the cold winter was a carnival for our mouths. After which we tried nutella crepes which were again hot from the skillet and better than anything we had had in a long time. Making this town about food, we walked and just took in the beautiful colourful sites of this obscure town that had not probably made the maps but made it to our hearts. It is important to add that we had some more ice cream and candied nuts and just sat there eating, and gazing.
It was about to get dark and started to rain, we thanked our gods that it hadn’t rained all day. So we proceeded back to car with light hearts and in awe of everything we saw that day. The ride back was quiet but still filled with beautiful panoramic views. The day was testament to make the most of what you have, sometimes right in your backyards!
