Release Date: July 4, 2008
Technically speaking, cinematography as well as art direction is excellent. In terms of performances, Harman Baweja is good, but not outstanding. One thing is for sure, he needs to get out of the ‘Hrithik Roshan-hangover’. Priyanka is a good performer and as usual, does full justice to her role. Boman Irani has been wasted in the movie, especially with that stupid wig. Then, there is Archana Puran Singh, overdoing her ‘Punjabi act’. All in all, Love Story 2050 is a film that’s best watched on DVD.
It’s 4th July 2008 and Love Story 2050 has released. Though the film manages to provide a peek into the 
future, it is hardly what we think Mumbai will really be like, 42 years from now. For Harry Baweja, the future seems to have people having bizarre names and wearing the weirdest of clothes and accessories. Somehow, this doesn’t gel with our image of ‘Mumbai in 2050’. The first half of the movie has totally been dedicated to the love story and even in the second half; the science fiction wasn’t allowed to come to the fore. In fact, Love Story 2050 comes across as a dreary love story and a half-cooked science-fiction.

In certain cases, the portrayal of Mumbai, in 2050, is way above our expectation and for this reason only; seems to be implausible. The dialogues do nothing to make an impact, while the mushy-mushy thing becomes unbearable after a while. Even the characterization of the actors is not above errors. Love Story 2050 seems to be the perfect example of ‘too many cooks spoil the broth’. Everything in the movie looks inspired; that too from numerous other flicks.

The film is about a young boy named Karan, who believes in living life on his own terms and conditions, without any rules. On the other hand, Sana (Priyanka Chopra) is a coy girl, who lives life by the rules. This gives rise to a magical love story between the two. Then we have Karan’s uncle, Dr Yatinder Khanna (Boman Irani), an eccentric scientist who has toiled for years to create the biggest invention of his life, a time machine. As the time machine finally becomes functional, Sana expresses her wish to travel to Mumbai in future.
With this, the three of them, along with Rahul and Thea (Sana’s younger brother and sister), land in Mumbai in the year 2050. To their amazement, the face of the city has been completely transformed by soaring 200-storied sky-scraper buildings, flying cars, sky rails and extensive application of robotics. However, following a series of twist and turns, Karan finds himself separated from Sana. In her quest to find his love, OT, a femme robot and Boo, a robotic teddy bear, play distinct roles in bringing them together.
Giving yet another twist in the story is Dr. Hoshi, a demigod of the future, who threatens OT and Boo, preventing them from helping Karan. This is followed by a struggle, which will finally decide Karan’s destiny. So, if you want to know, whether Karan is finally able to win his love and move back in time, don’t miss the high action, science thriller in the theatres near you. For now, we can just hope that the Indian audience appreciates the efforts of Baweja’s, who have tried to serve something new & fresh, instead of the stale masala movies of the past.
