Rooting for Aisha

Would Aisha be a great outing?

The landscape that Hindi Cinema has come to be identified with, Abhay Deol has been the most underrated performer. Away from the commercial beats of the industry, his association with projects has been simple and clear headed. Close to the Deol scion but never to build on that, the performances from him have entirely been on his strength. His performance in Manorma Six Feet Under was near perfect. The Dev D effort was no less ordinary but the flick didn't glide with a pace that was expected.
As the script demanded he remains rooted to the rural landscape of North India for a while before hitting the Delhi turf. Here he has some wild outings with no break to drinking sessions. A close brush with the law as well but finally triumphs when he discovers his love interest. The Delhi turf is widely featured coupled with the DTC outings that Abhay has.
Here he comes out with another performance that looks to be a winning outing in Aisha. With script and storyline under wraps the promos suggest that it has strong imprints of Punjab and the visible flowing chemistry with Sonam Kapoor.
As the flick opens this week would it have an opening that Anil's flick used to have? Game Set and Match is what Sonam's eyes fixed on - and probably she could have it given Abhay's rich skills to dabble with the role.

The only missing link to this flick would be its non appearance in single screen theatre - and something to brood over the pros and cons of having a date.
