    Take a back bench, Carrie Bradshaw and Co. Indian movielore has its own city slicker chicks who are definitely sweeter, sexier and more svelte than all of the Sex and the City girlie brigade put together. What's more important is the fact that their concerns are soooooo recognisable, ekdum familiar, and absolutely rib-tickling. So much so, they strike an instant chord with any and everybody -- chick and chico -- who has undergone the metropolitan mating game, complete with its distinct social divide between the two distinct types: the uptown dudes and dudettes and the downtown behenjis and bhaiyyas!

    Aisha arrives dressed in bling and brands and is set to be a regular film. It has the mind and mannerism of a chick flick. But then, suddenly, while it is preening and prancing, it pauses and shifts up a gear — its sparkling bits go dim, and we begin to see real people, their real complexities. Smoothly, Aisha turns into a film about something.

    On the whole, AISHA holds appeal for the youth mainly and there’s a strong likelihood that this segment of movie-going audience will fall for its charms. From the business point of view, the makers have recovered a big chunk of their investment from the sale of Satellite Rights and Music Rights and recovering the balance amount from India theatrical, Overseas and Home Video should be a cakewalk.

    Aisha as a film will defy the one basic long standing rule to cinema and that is that a film needs a robust, well strewn script to do well. Aisha doesn't have the perfect script in the least, but it has all that it takes to thoroughly enjoy a film. Basically this film is total paisa vasool. For those who may want to dismiss Aisha as a chick flick, I would say, it is one of the best or actually the first real chick flick I have seen in bollywood so far. Especially for girls who have followed Sex and the City as their legend, Aisha may as well just count as a distant but fun cousin to the franchise.

    Aisha the movie is full-on ‘nyaka’. A word which can never be correctly translated in English or Hindi but you know it when you see it. Yes, it’s very much a Jane-Austen-meets-Sex-and-the-City-meets-high-society-Delhi chick flick but it’s also so very nyaka. How can it be anything else when a whole bunch of 20-somethings have only one agenda in mind — to get married! But that doesn’t mean Rajshree Ojha’s Aisha is not enjoyable. It’s a light, frothy weekend watch, the kind of film which disappears along with the popcorn in your tub. They come a dime a dozen in Hollywood but seeing our guys in the middle of one — that too in a well-made, good-looking ensemble — is certainly a welcome sight.

    Aisha is a 2-hour celebration of pre-nuptial rituals. Though no one says it, every girl in the picture wants only one thing. And it isn’t necessarily love, but somewhere close. The bristle and bustle of Delhi come alive through the slender intellectual faculties of the protagonists.

    If one tries to dissociate Aisha with Austen and perceive it as a standalone rom-com, far less faults are to be found. There's much too freshness in its texture, expressions and candour to not be endeared. For those who've read the book, a lot of missing sub-text in the film needs to be drawn from memory. For those who haven't, focus on the glamour. Yes, I love her clothes (styled by Pernia Qureshi). I love her makeup. I love her black nail polish. I love her hair. I love her heels (also the subject of an amusing episode in the movie). I love her life. I just don't care enough about her. Except that I really want to.

    Aisha is a two-hour celebration of pre-nuptial rituals. Though no one says it, every girl in the film wants only one thing. And it isn't necessarily love, but somewhere close. The bristle and bustle of Delhi comes alive through the slender intellectual faculties of the protagonists. Let's not forget that Jane Austen had applied great intellectual strength to her frail and shallow people. Aisha converts Austen's world into a frail feisty frolicsome fashion fiesta shot with an empowering affection for the natural light that bathes these somewhat affected people.

    The film is apparently an adaptation of the Jane Austen classic Emma, but so much emphasis is given to the look of the characters and the feel of the film that the story takes a beating. The film could do without some unnecessary scenes. That could cut short the film's running time and quicken the pace.

    Gaurav Malani | Indiatimes

    In a late line from the film, Aisha Kapoor’s father tells her, “ Hum Kapoor hai. Hum zyada sochte nahi. We believe in action ”. This pretty much qualifies as an (unintentional) self-mocking line on producer Anil Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor and actress Sonam Kapoor. Perhaps the Kapoors put this picture into production without much pondering. What starts as a cheerful chick flick sadly ends up being a lame love story.

    A mish-mash of Clueless and the risqué American TV show Gossip Girl, this film unfortunately lacks the wit of the former and the edginess of the latter. Yet during the first half of Aisha, this combination is refreshing. The film is good-looking, it smacks of a certain bubble set in Delhi, and the dialogue (peppered as it is with countless 'whatevers') has still got bounce. It's not hard to warm up to the characters initially, to even have a little fun at the endless row of parties that seem to make up Aisha's social whirl. But there is such a thing as too much partying, and Aisha's gang never seems to grow up to any real-life emotions.

    There is a delightful word shosha, popular up North. It means a needless show of vulgar style, accompanied by a crude display of money. Aisha ends up being a mere shosha; a giggly, chicklet story, full of designer clothes, shopping sprees, polo matches and large mansions, the playing fields of a chosen few. Though it’s adapted from the classic Emma, Aisha fails in its forced plotting, hoity toity story and artificial dialogue. The direction is a bit lacklustre

    It's not the material, but the way it's treated that takes away all the fun from the film. The first half has a lazy pace that drags its feet into an even more lethargic second. Aisha's opening monologue falls flat because it sounds like a dummies' guide to getting to know the characters. Despite the attempt to look like a Gossip Girl episode, the ensembles, make up and accessories add zero flavour to the proceedings. In fact more than once they serve as distraction to hide the inherent flaws in the plot.

    Too much prominence is given on the styling rather than the script, thereby making it a 'good looking film' rather than a 'good film'. While nothing much happens in the first half in terms of taking the story forward, the second half is a complete drag which has Aisha and Arjun whining forever. Almost everyone in the film is paired with or attracted to one another, which is difficult to assimilate.

    Shubhra Gupta | Indian Express

    This is a good looking movie, with not a hair out of place, but we wish it was a little more rumpled, a little more lived in. Then we could have felt more for the poor little rich girl and her friends as they go through their by-the-book break-ups and make-ups. Patchy writing and direction leads to the film feeling more like a string of episodes, of which only a few are lively and engaging . Puri who plays the `behenji’ from Bahadurgarh has the best lines in the film, making us laugh out loud, even though she is more broadly sketched than required. Kapoor manages to look like a million bucks, but is more flat and precious than lovable.

    You just know it when a film entirely set around a girl – a chick flick, as they say -- isn’t quite working for you. This is when a guy, an odd comedian Cyrus Sahukar, comes across as by far the most entertaining fellow around. Now he’s funny. For whatever that’s worth. To figure the worth of everything else, check on the price tags at your nearest mall.
