Good movie but grossly overrated

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I can see how if you actually paid money to see this in the theater and were expecting to view the first major Bollywood blockbuster, you would be very disappointed, and a 0-2 star rating would be understandable. However, my husband and I watched this last night on Netflix, so our expectations going into it were quite different than those of other reviewers.I don't know how my husband decided on this film other than it had to be listed under Sci-Fi, because otherwise he would never choose something like this. I walked in the room as the characters were breaking into song for the first time and laughed. "You're watching a musical?!" "I don't know, this is the first time it went this way." I expected him to immediately turn the movie off after the schmaltzy, young lovers suddenly broke out into a schmaltzier song, but for some reason we kept watching... and watching... all the way through the entire odd, even at times excruciating, three-hour production. Why?The hero and heroine of the story, two young lovers named Sana and (I can't recall the boy's name), were simply flat characters, but so are every prince and princess of all the classic fairy tales as they were originally written. It doesn't mean such a story can't be enjoyed, it just means you have to put more of yourself into it, or appreciate it on a more metaphorical level. Despite a lack of character development and a lot of predictability, we still wanted to see exactly how the happy ending was going to play out.The original concept of this film is great - a modern-day, Bollywood interpretation of The Time Machine, except instead of futilely, repeatedly returning to the past to try to keep his lover from dying, the young beau overcomes that snag by retrieving her from the future instead (in reincarnated form, of course). And there's a nice, little paradoxical twist thrown in. Our hero who was the thrill-seeking loner turned to mush by the sweet, goody-two-shoes Sana, is now the softy who has to win the hardened, self-absorbed, doesn't-need-anybody future Sana (now named Zeisha) all over again. The main problem of this film is its complete lack of editing. It's like a 90-minute teen romantic comedy and a 90-minute Sci-Fi/Action flick pasted together. If they could've stripped the romantic development down to just the basics, running at around half an hour, and then spent an hour on the Sci-Fi and action, this could potentially have truly been a Bollywood blockbuster. The hero's father and other elements should have been cut from the beginning, and the villain, Dr. Hoshi, was completely unnecessary to the second half, for example. The stereotypical, genius scientist uncle and generic siblings I can deal with. (They actually fit with this type of storytelling.)So, long story short, a great Sci-Fi/Romantic story concept that was beautifully rendered is botched by poor or nonexistent editing. What could have been a Bollywood blockbuster is reduced to at best a guilty-pleasure "bad" movie, as there are parts that are enjoyable if cheesy, if you can sit still that long. Love Story 2050 gets an A for concept, an A for effort, an F for editing, a B for effects and a C for everything else - so I think 6/10 is maybe a tad generous, but overall fair.

A movie which is totally different from all the Hindi movies. When you walk into the theater and begin seeing it, it doesn't seem like bollywood scientific fiction. Visuals are great and it seems like a Hollywood film but only one thing lovers sing songs in Indian movies & not in Hollywood.Harry Bewaja launched his son in good start. I heard his interview long ago and he mentioned that this story was in his mind since before 1998 or 1999 and at that point people would ridicule it and today more sci fi are in & it was the time to make the movie financially & story wise. I saw Rakesh Roshan's interview about Krish & Koi mil gaya long ago as well he said that today we can make these type of movies & they will work & in 1990s or earlier these would be silly things to audience. The taste of people has changed over the years. We are tired of seeing same old type of dramas that says one lover is poor & the other is rich and somehow the background & same socio difference comes up & all. etc.The movie is excellent in many terms. Although it has been taken from all the Hollywood flicks, scientific fictions, so was krrish taken from superhero movies. We loved it & so did millions of other viewers.Hary Bewaja directed the movie brilliantly. The plus points are the locations, visuals and above all Harman Bewaja.I have read all the other comments on this IMDb. database for Lvs.2050 but i think if you can't watch a copy of Hollywood film then you should even watch bollywood movies because most are ripped from English movies & put mas ala equals bollywood.This movie might not have received good collection but it surely is a proud production to equal Hollywood movie standards. Long ago who would thought humans can fly planes & it was considered silly earlier but today people do. Movie has some silly names like Winky Dinks, Boo and Q.T. Kids wish to have Boo types of teddy bears but only when they are young.Harman Bewaja does look like Hrithik Roshan but more than Hrithik he looks like his dad Harry Bewaja. Harman has similar voice toon to Hrithik but his dialect was his own.He might've had same choreographers or tried to imitate Hrithik's dancing thats a minus but even to copy Hrithik's dance is an achievement for someone who is new. Harman is extremely talented and he will be proving himself different in the future films. Not all stars hit box office with first films & there is a long list of those stars. Amitabh Bachchan wasn't star until he was 5 years old in the industry with continuous flops. His own son Abhi wasn't a star with his first film. He had to wait till doom to become hit even though Yuva gave good critic toward him. Rahul Roy's first film was a hit and music of Aashiqui was mind blowing at time and he was a short lived actor who couldn't make a name for himself. And so many other bollywood stars. Akshay Kumar the king of present box office was tagged only as Action hero for so many years and it took Hera Pheri to break that tag. He is all rounder now. If someone stands tall and faces all the storms with positive attitude and positive mind and doesn't fall then no one can stop success coming to them. Ranbhir Kapoor sucked in Saawariya and there was nothing in that movie expect him in towel and he received all the awards & is signed for so many future coming films.Love Story 2050 is a great start for Harman Bewaja. He should be proud of it and keep positive attitude toward life to succeed. The media makes people a star now days before the film comes. He is already in hearts of many and he needs to prove that he can good. It takes years to come. I think rather than discouraging some newcomer its always better to encourage.God has made him similar to Hrithik and his voice similar to Hrithik. But before Kaho Na Pyar Hai, who knew Hrithik. Once the movie hit then he faced many flops until his father Rakesh Roshan gave him Koi mil gaya. I am die hard Hrithik fan but since reading comments about LOve Story 2050 made me to write my comment after long time.Harman Bewaja is worth watching in the movie. He is extremely talented and off course since he looks like Hrithik so he is extremely sexy. He has more fat then Hrithik on himself, maybe because he is young. But he has wide bones then Hrithik.He is excellent at his dancing in the film. He can definitely act and took a risk to start his career with such risk taking film.Music is foot tapping and this time i think lyrics aren't that fab. Cinematography is good and there is not much about story. I would say it starts good as many other films but maybe it could've been even better.Harman gets 7 3/4 out of 10 because he needs to stand out of the rest of the crowd. He was good in the film as an actor, dancer and cute lover.Overall the movie is worth watch at least one if you want to see Bhel Pori of sci fi films. It is also a good film to watch if you believe in tech-no.

I absolutely loved it! I think everyone who gave this movie anything less than a 3 are stupid pessimists. Hamran Baweja's acting was VERY good and his dancing was brilliant !!!(better than Hrithik Roshan's by far). The plot was really well thought of and I think the robots and special effects were really cool. The songs were really good, and I think I will actually buy the soundtrack (which I've never done before w/ any Indian movie). The dance choreography was amazing, too. The movie had some funny dialogs and some great action. I really loved when "Karan" jumped off of the bridge to catch the bus... wow!!!!! It's an extraordinary modern Indian movie- perfect for the family. I loved it and I love Hamran Baweja!♥ ♥ ♥ It's my favorite Indian movie. ♥ ♥ ♥

well the movie is a bad copy of a lot of English movies. Major portion has been ripped off The Time machine.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268695/ As in the original the Hero looses the Heroine (both of them don't know how to act) hence you know what happens if you have seen the time machine. The Robot in the movie is too similar to the She-robot in Robbin Williams Bicentennial man hence a rip off. I saw "Matrix","The terminator", "Shark boy and Lava girl" and Mila Jokovich's "UltraViolet" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0370032/) fights in the movie. Virtually The director of the movie believes that all the indians are living under and rock and they would not have seen those movies and if it is made for the international audience then I salute the director :D. Its one of the worst movies I have seen.And yeah the hero though looks like Hritik he only managed to be a bad copy.
