Kartik Aaryan & Sreeleela’s ‘Aashiqui 3’ Teaser Gets Mixed Reviews

The excitement around Aashiqui 3 was palpable, with fans eagerly awaiting its teaser—hoping it would carry the same emotional depth that made the original a classic.

But as soon as the teaser dropped, the reactions were anything but predictable. Kartik Aaryan’s bold new look and Sreeleela’s debut set the stage for something fresh, yet many fans couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing.

So, what’s the verdict? Is Aashiqui 3 ready to live up to its iconic predecessors, or will it be another example of a beloved franchise trying to find its place in a new era? Let’s break it down.

Aashiqui 3 teaser

Brief

The long-anticipated teaser for one of the Sreeleela's and Kartik Aaryan movies, initially rumored to be Aashiqui 3, has been greeted with significant disappointment from fans. Unveiled on social media, the teaser showcases a fresh appearance for Kartik and hints at Sreeleela's Bollywood debut, yet it appears to have fallen short with numerous fans of the Aashiqui series. Scheduled for release this Diwali 2025, the movie is helmed by Anurag Basu, yet it has been difficult to avoid comparisons to earlier films.

 

A fresh appearance, yet lacking the 'Aashiqui' charm?

In the preview, Kartik Aaryan stars prominently with his guitar at a crowded concert, showcasing a rough appearance with a bushy beard and lengthy hair. Although he dazzled with his performance, the appearance has not been well-received by fans, many of whom have turned to social media to share their dissatisfaction. The movie takes place in exciting urban environments, featuring Sreeleela as Kartik's romantic interest; however, the pair's chemistry has disappointed some viewers.

Stepping into the roles of Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor

The shadow of the Aashiqui legacy is significant, and the lack of original stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor has fans wondering if the new duo can match the emotional depth and intensity that the franchise is celebrated for. Social media commenters have noted that the new cast appears incapable of replacing the original duo, with some reminiscing about Aditya Roy Kapur's memorable performances, where his intensity resonated in every breath he took.

Kartik’s rough appearance: Imitation or a fresh trend?

Although Kartik's rough appearance was a daring choice, numerous viewers have likened him to characters portrayed by Shahid Kapoor in Kabir Singh, Allu Arjun in Pushpa, and Ranbir Kapoor in Animal, wondering if the style leans more towards imitation rather than originality. The responses on social media have ignited a discussion regarding the genuineness of his new persona, with fans split on whether it suits the character or if it's a lost chance.

Is this ‘Aashiqui 3? Supporters are puzzled regarding the Title

A major source of debate stemming from the teaser is the film's title, or more precisely, its absence. The lack of the Aashiqui title caused confusion for many—was this tied to the cherished franchise or an entirely fresh narrative? Legal complications caused producers to temporarily set aside the Aashiqui 3 title for “Tu Aashiqui Hai,” but recent updates indicate that the issues have been settled. Viewers were left wondering if the movie will uphold the Aashiqui legacy or create its own direction.

Is Pritam able to restore the magic?

Supporters are holding onto a final glimmer of hope: the soundtrack. Having Pritam, the architect of the original Aashiqui melodies, involved gives hope that the music will restore the heart and spirit to the film. Supporters are eagerly asking for a fresh, heartfelt album that will bring back the charm associated with Aashiqui, but it is yet to be determined if it can meet those expectations.

Different Reviews

 

Although certain fans remain enthusiastic about the film's debut, eagerly looking forward to the romantic drama and intense action, the teaser has undoubtedly created differing views. The lack of the original leads, Kartik’s fresh appearance, and the uncertainty about the film's title have left numerous fans feeling let down. With Diwali 2025 on the horizon, it remains to be seen if the film can address these initial criticisms and revive the Aashiqui legacy, or if it will be unable to replicate the charm that endeared the original movies to fans.

With mixed reviews flooding in, only time will tell if Aashiqui 3 can find its own voice and live up to the legacy of its predecessors. For now, fans are holding onto hope, especially with the music still yet to be unveiled.
