After a long period of time, John Abraham would be seen doing something different {acting} apart from his usual body show off stuff on screen. He has been labeled as a body showing actor but Nagesh Kukunoor definitely comes a savior for him. He takes the best out of the star in his upcoming movie, Aashayein, in which John plays the lead role.
The plot of the story goes, Rahul Sharma {John Abraham} is deeply in love with his long time girlfriend Nafisa(Sonal Sehgal) and is all set to marry her, but suddenly he knows that he has got cancer and has just a few more years to live. So whether, Rahul fights it out till his last breadth or succumbs to the disease is the story all about.
Though, the movie has been in shelf for a long time, but it hasn’t lost its essence. The basic issue remains untouched by director till now and surely Kukunoor’s treatment to such a sensitive issue is a worth watch.
When Rahul suddenly gets to know about his fatal disease he loses the basic reason to live and shuns all the people around him and takes salvage at a home for terminal patient to snub all the people around him, including his long time and devoted girlfriend. But here he finds another inmate, who appears to be the hope in despair. He makes friends, relationships which become more valuable to hm than anything else in the world.
John surprises with his acting, the relationship between Rahul and Padma, a 17 year old girl who is a brat. Padma acts as the foil to him but eventually they share a mutual bond of respect and affection. They make the concept of age old soul mates appear true on the screen.
Aashayein is surely a worth watch, just for the sake of acting, not for skin show.
