Aisha, directed by Rajshree Ojha, is a modern day adaption of the 19th century British novel, Emma, by Jane Austen set in the upper class society of Delhi, India. The main star cast includes Sonam Kapoor, Abhay Deol, Cyrus Sahukar, Ira Dubey and Amrita Puri.
The first day first show saw very few people in the cinema halls. Most of audience was the young college crowd. Many people complimented Sonam’s outfits however, her acting skills invited a lot of negative comments.
Asmi Shah says, “I loved her dresses. I didn’t like her acting but in few emotional scenes, she has acted well.”
Brinda Desai says, “The film is lengthy and bores you on many occasions. Sonam is looking good. Her clothes are too good. But, she still needs to learn a lot.”
About the male lead, Abhay Deol, most people felt that his role is not as strong as Sonam because the film revolves around Aisha. “Someone like Abhay who has acted in films like Oye Lucky...and Dev D, his talent is wasted in the film. Even a newcomer could have pulled off that role. But, he was good,” says Jayant Mishra.
Neha Shetty says, “I liked Abhay in the film. He was cute but his role was not as important as Sonam’s.”
When asked if the film is a onetime watch, many people were of the opinion that the movie can be given a miss.
Kanika Kotnala says, “The film is dragging and lacks a concrete story. That makes it a bore. Also, Sonam’s acting isn’t all that great to keep you involved throughout. The film is not even a one time watch.”
Vijayta Gandhi says, “I came to watch Abhay Deol but he doesn’t have a pivotal role. Also, Sonam was getting intolerable after a point. The supporting characters especially the one who played the role of Shefali was very entertaining.”
Apart from Aisha, the other options for the weekend are Hollywood releases, Predators and animated film, Despicable Me in 3D.
