Last Friday mega release “Aisha” would not break the box-office records but film has really picked up well at the ticket window after the average opening week and kapoor kanya aka new style icon of tinsel town, gorgeous Sonam Kapoor has definitely made a grand reopening of her drowning career via “Aisha”.

Story / Plot: The 19th Century British novel, Emma written by Jane Austen, inspires the film. Aisha is story of a savvy chic from high society of Delhi, beautiful and confident girl “Aisha” (Sonam Kapoor) who lives life on her own terms. Aisha has two best buddies, Arjun( Abhay Deol) and Pinky( Ira Dubey) and a newly found friend Shefali (a small town behenji typo girl, belongs to a hariyana who came in Delhi to get married)..

Aisha believes that love could be planned and anyone can love anybody if situations are created . She has big interest in matchmaking or can say its her favorite hobby to find matches for the people. However, Arjun always comes to her and try to show reality and suggests not to indulge and involve in other’s lives too much but she hardly cares for his views and carries on doing what she thinks right. At first, she successfully finds a perfect match for her aunt and then next she tries to match her new friend Shefali with a guy Randhir Gambhir( Cyrus Sahukar).

In this process, first she converts her friend Shefali to an urban chic, mod and stylish just like her. But she fails. But she still continues to match her with someone else and while matching her friend, she herself develops an infatuation for another guy, London returned handsome hunk Dhruv (Arunoday Singh). But finally Aisha fails and realizes that love is not something to be matched. it happens automatically. Moreover, she realizes that she actually loves Arjun.

The first half is very confined and well edited. The introduction of characters is good then Sonam’s look, style and her matchmaking hobby maintains the grip of audience but later half is little boring and both Abhay and Sonam’s performances seems loose at many instances. In fact the expected chemistry between Sonam Kapoor and Abhay is also missing at multiple instances. Here the director Rajshree Ojha lacks to hold the film till the end. Even he is failed to take the 100% of actors like Abhay Deol who came in an unchallenged, totally plain role for the first time.

Ira Dubey, Curus, Amrita Puri did justice to their performance and music score by Amit Trivedi is also soothing. Especially, the “Gal meethi meethi bol” will make you shake your ass. The best part is dress styling, looks, outfits and makeup, specially for the center character Aisha”.

Overall, Aisha is a fun to watch. Its a light film which might not be able to leave a impression on your mind for a long time but it will keep you tension free for 2-3 hours and a good one time watch.
