Inconsistent tonality, uneven pacing, and far too many self-referential winks dilute this tale of unrequited love before it even has a chance to fully develop.

Everything leads to a third-act twist that is absurdly shameless, even by Bollywood standards. Unfortunately, Johar doesn’t appear to have intended it as another joke.

It's a mesmerizing musical drama... everlasting performances of Ranbir & Aishwarya . Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, A lady of Grace. She has elevated the power of the character shaba. Everything is in one side and Aishwarya's as shaba is one side . She is really amazing. And the music and stunning visuals

Despite the iffy script, two of the film’s performances pack a punch.

What’s odd is that the movie itself turns out not to be some incendiary provocation, but squarely Bollywood trad, a globetrotting weepie unlikely to offend anyone but the most entrenched.

While some areas of the film are ludicrous and repetitive, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is nevertheless an effective tearjerker bolstered by great performances across the board.
