"Aashiqui 2," however is a combination of two traditions, of Bollywood and Hollywood. Even the Hindi language here is comprised of many borrowings from English. Unfortunately, the filmmakers here stripped "A Star Is Born" of all of its self-reflexive intelligence, as well as the superior innovations in production-leaving merely the plot and reworked scenes. Only the body remains, which is the least alluring part. This body is filled with generic Bollywood escapism into emotionalism, including sappy songs. "A Star Is Born" is at its best when the scenario-originally about Hollywood filmmaking and only later, in 1976, 2018 and this version, about the music industry-reflects the real-life images of the stars that made it. In the first three iterations, the leading actresses were all attempting a comeback on some level. Judy Garland's tragic image was the most striking case, with the lead male's alcoholism becoming an allegory for her real-life drug problems and difficulties with the Hollywood studio system, the press and her fans. We get none of this in "Aashiqui 2," which, instead, casts two relative unknowns in the leads.
