Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat looks like a heart-on-sleeve Imtiaz Ali movie seen via Anurag Kashyap’s cynical eyes. Alaya F and Karan Mehta play two characters every. In a narrative set in Dalhousie, they’re named Amrita and Yakub. In the story set in London, they’re Ayesha and Harmeet. Both narratives, thus, are related by the truth that considered one of them is a Muslim, and in addition by a podcaster/sutradhar who calls himself DJ Mohabbat (Vicky Kaushal): he lives and data his present in London, and that present is so standard that it’s heard even in ramshackle gyms in Dalhousie. DJ Mohabbat’s philosophies sound like a motivational-poster model of the introduction Gulzar used to ship earlier than his songs started to play in his greatest-hits assortment. For occasion, he says that society doesn’t train us to be weak, however vulnerability is like daylight on  a chilly day: it’s important to really feel it to know the way comforting it may be.
