However, it's the script that lets them down that they find themselves imitating characters from various old Hindi films! It's Ranbir Kapoor who rises over an inane script, leaving his own stamp in each scene which could have fallen flat in a lesser actor's hands. Performance-wise, it's Ranbir and Anushka's film.
Fawad lets himself to be overshadowed by Ranbir in some of the scenes that they share. Ditto for Fawad Khan whose presence in this movie created such a furor prior to its release! Fawad is wasted in a role with which he could have done wonders with. I don't think her role was even necessary as she appears in a 15 minuteish role. Not to mention she struggles with the Urdu portions. Even her shayaris had no depth whatsoever. She has this incredible talent of emoting with her eyes without saying a word which most actresses of today fail to do. However, I think she lets her eyes do most of the talking which is why Johar picked her for the role. There was nothing spectacular about her performance.
However, ADHM manages to top even that! Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma spend the first half imitating characters from Johar's previous movies and movies from the 80s while the second half looks like a retelling of Ranbir's own Rockstar (what with Ranbir eventually becoming a singer and the terminal illness track of Anushka)! Just disappointing! I think anyone could have played the role of Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan's Saba. In my opinion, Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna was the worst. Nothing about this movie connected to me. I found Ae Dil Hai Mushkil thoroughly disappointing.
