Mohit Suri on 13 years of 'Aashiqui 2': Some films don't just get made, they make you
"Some films don't just get made... they make you - Mohit Suri"

Mumbai, April 26

Filmmaker Mohit Suri is celebrating 13 years of his cult-classic 'Aashiqui 2'. On Sunday, the director took to his Instagram, and shared a series of BTS pictures from the making of the film.

He also penned a long note in the caption, as he wrote, "Celebrating 13 years of Aashiqui 2 - Some films don't just get made... they make you .. Every moment on set... every silence, every tear, every note of music... felt like something we were living, not just creating. Years have passed... but the echoes haven't. There are too many people to thank - more than I'll ever be able to name. But all of them live inside this film".

He further mentioned, "All I feel today is gratitude... for the love this film has received, and for the way it continues to find people... even now. Some love stories don't end. They just keep playing... on a loop, somewhere in the heart. #aashiqui2 #13yearsofaashiqui2".

'Aashiqui 2' stars Aditya Roy Kapur as Rahul Jaykar, a troubled singer battling alcoholism, and Shraddha Kapoor as Aarohi, an aspiring artist whose rise to fame changes their relationship. The film explored themes of love, sacrifice, addiction, and emotional dependency with a melancholic tone that resonated strongly with audiences. Its soundtrack, featuring songs like 'Tum Hi Ho' by Arijit Singh, became a cultural phenomenon and dominated music charts for years. The success of the film revived the romantic musical genre in modern Bollywood and turned its leads into major stars. It remains remembered for its emotional storytelling, memorable music, and tragic romance.

'Aashiqui 2' was a surprise hit, and gave 2 new stars to the Hindi film industry at the time with Shraddha and Aditya. It also established Arijit Singh as one of the biggest singers in the industry.

Meanwhile, Mohit delivered the blockbuster 'Saiyaara', yet again giving 2 new stars to the industry with Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.

I still remember watching this in a packed theatre in Delhi. The way the audience gasped when Rahul hits rock bottom... magical filmmaking. But honestly, some of the emotional dependency themes were a bit uncomfortable to watch now - it's a love story that glorifies codependency a little too much. Still, the music is timeless. Arijit Singh became a legend because of this film.

That BTS post from Mohit Suri is so sweet. You can tell how much this film meant to him. 'Tum Hi Ho' still gives me goosebumps even after all these years. And can we appreciate how Shraddha Kapoor's career took off after this? From an aspiring singer to a superstar. Iconic film. 🎬✨

Honestly, Aashiqui 2 is overrated in my opinion. The story is basically a recycled version of the original Aashiqui with better music and production value. Aditya Roy Kapur's character arc is frustrating - he's a self-destructive mess and Aarohi deserves better. But yes, the music is undeniably legendary. 'Sun Raha Hai Na Tu' and 'Tum Hi Ho' are masterpieces. Just wish the plot had more depth beyond the usual 'sad singer with a drinking problem' trope.

This film literally changed Bollywood music forever. Before Aashiqui 2, romantic albums were dying. After this, every producer wanted a soulful love track. Arijit Singh became THE voice. And Shraddha's innocence in 'Tum Hi Ho' video is unmatched. Mohit Suri understood the assignment. Also, the fact that 'Saiyaara' tried to replicate the same magic but couldn't shows how special this film was. 🎶
