Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal released on February 14 and opened up to mixed reviews. The film stars Kartik Aaryan, Sara Ali Khan and Randeep Hooda. It marks the Bollywood debut of Arushi Sharma.

Love Aaj Kal is expected to earn around Rs 10 crore on day one, making it Kartik's biggest opener. The actor's last highest-grossing film until now is Pati Patni Aur Woh that collected Rs 9 crore on day one.

Kartik plays a double role in the film, Veer (from 2020) and Raghu (from 1990). Sara plays the role of Veer's girlfriend named Zoe while Arushi plays Raghu's childhood sweetheart Leena.

Narita Mukherjee gave the film 1.5 out of 5 stars. She writes in her review, "Starring Sara Ali Khan, Kartik Aaryan and Randeep Hooda, Love Aaj Kal will only leave the audience heartbroken, more so if you're an Imtiaz Ali fan.

To say that Love Aaj Kal 2020 relies heavily on Love Aaj Kal 2009 is an understatement. From screenplay to songs, Imtiaz Ali has done little to improve on the original and done more to actually ruin the Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer. Actually, maybe not. Because now it is only going to make us want to go back and watch the 2009 release again."
