cast: Harman Baweja, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani

It is a story about Karan (Harman Baweja), a young, spirited, sporty boy who lives life off the rules and Sana (Priyanka Chopra), a young petite, shy girl who lives life by the rules. This develops into a magical love story.Karan's uncle, Dr. Yatinder Khanna's (Boman Irani) much developed time machine finally works. Sana expresses her wish to travel ahead in time to Mumbai in the future

We land in Mumbai 2050 in the time machine... along with Uncle Yatinder, Rahul and Thea (Sana's younger brother and sister). Flying cars, 200 storey buildings, robots and sky rails have changed the very face of Mumbai. Through a series of twists and turns, the time traveler Karan finds himself separating from his love. QT, a friendly femme robot and Boo, a small robotic teddy bear play their distinct roles in bringing their love story together but soon find themselves under the threat of the demi-god of the future, Dr. Hoshi. Will Karan be able to overcome the threat of Dr. Hoshi and win his love and travel back in time?

LOVE STORY 2050 has a lot riding on it especially since it marks the debut of the so called next superstar -Harman Baweja. Unfortunately everything seem going the wrong way since everything about him has a certain Hrithik-ness about it.

Though the promos have captured the attention with the sensational dance routines from the new boy, it is the rather disappointing soundtrack from Anu Malik that fails to create any impact. Not the kind of chartbuster you usually associate with a debutant's love story.

The lack of originality does not end there. IT is evident in the look and feel of the film which looks like a big mish mash of the more popular sci fi flicks like Back to the Future, I Robot, Fifth Element. Once you see the lightsabers of Star Wars , you know that it cannot get any worse.

THE PANEL ROOM

With the kind of vengence that they usually reserve for a RGV flick, the critics have went ahead and bashed up this sci fi flick which was hailed as the future of Bollywood. A new star, mindblowing special effects and what not....the final result shows a different picture. Some even claim that this is turning out to be the AAG of this year and is giving serious competition to the contenders for the worst flick of the year!

Disappointing! Taran Adarsh 2/5

A film people will use as a benchmark to compare other bad movies Rajeev Masand 1/5

The sci-fi cock-and-bull love story is merely an excessively long, deliriously boring, astoundingly silly, and thoughtlessly expensive excuse to sell a new Friday ‘star’. Mayank Shankar 1/5

It could be worth a one-time watch, no?No, I say Raja Sen 1/5
