There were initially several concerns in the Indian media that it could not live up to the high standards and success of the original. Production of the film began in 2011, with the [[principal photography]] taking place in [[Cape Town]], [[Goa]] and [[Mumbai]] on a budget of {{INRConvert|18|c}}.

''Aashiqui 2'' was released on 26 April 2013 in Pakistan and on 27 April in India,<ref name="release date">{{Cite web|url=https://ew.com/movies/2017/04/18/lady-gaga-a-star-is-born-jennifer-lopez-beyonce/|title=How Lady Gaga's 'A Star Is Born' Evolved with Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, More|website=EW.com}}</ref> The film became a commercial success at the box-office despite featuring newcomers, and was one of the [[List of Hindi films of 2013|highest-grossing Hindi films of 2013]], earning over {{INRConvert|109|c}} and within the first four weeks, ending both Kapur's and Kapoor's early years of struggle for recognition.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/shraddha-kapoor-after-flop-films-i-could-have-disappeared/|title=Shraddha Kapoor: After flop films, I could have disappeared|date=5 July 2014}}</ref> Eventually, it became the highest grossing production for the Bhatt brothers and the Vishesh Films banner.

It is often cited as one of the best albums of its 2010s decade. Later on, it was remade in [[Telugu cinema|Telugu]] as ''[[Nee Jathaga Nenundali]]''.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movies/news/Sachiin-Joshi-to-make-a-comeback-Telugu-remake-of-Aashiqui-2/articleshow/35785493.cms|title=Sachiin Joshi to make a comeback Telugu remake of Aashiqui 2 - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref>

== Plot ==
The film opens by showing a large crowd waiting for Rahul Jaykar, a successful singer and musician whose career is waning because of his [[Alcohol dependence|alcohol addiction]]{{spaced ndash}}to perform at a stage show in [[Goa]]. After nearly completing a song, he is unexpectedly interrupted by an artist, Aryan, who was losing his career due to Rahul's, during his performance. Angered abouts Rahul fights him, stops his performance, and drives to a local bar. He meets Aarohi Keshav Shirke, a bar singer who idolises Rahul. After noticing Aarohi looking at a photograph of [[Lata Mangeshkar]] in the bar, he assumes that she wants to become a singer. Impressed by her simplicity and voice, Rahul promises to transform her into a singing sensation and asks her to never perform again in bars. Due to his assurance, Aarohi leaves her job and returns to [[Mumbai]] with Rahul, who convinces record producer Saigal to meet her. When Aarohi calls Rahul, he is attacked and injured by some thugs, and is unable to receive her call. His friend and manager Vivek decides that news of the assault on Rahul should not be leaked to the media, and instead publicises a false story that Rahul has left the country to participate in stage shows. When Aarohi attempts to contact Rahul again, Vivek ignores the calls. After two months of futilely attempting to contact Rahul, a broken Aarohi is forced to sing in bars again because of her family problems.

Meanwhile, Rahul recovers from his injuries and again starts the search for Aarohi. He learns that Aarohi is working in a bar again and that Vivek had ignored her calls without informing him. Rahul apologizes to Aarohi and fires Vivek, and they meet with Saigal for the recording agreement. Rahul begins to train Aarohi, who signs a music contract to sing in films and becomes a successful [[playback singer]]. Her family and Rahul are happy, but when people begin to gossip that Rahul is using her as a servant, he relapses into alcohol addiction. Aarohi, who loves Rahul more than her career, comforts him and they end up making love. Despite Aarohi's mother Subhadra's disapproval, Aarohi [[Cohabitation|moves in]] with Rahul and things go well until Rahul's addiction worsens, causing him to become aggressive and violent.

Aarohi attempts to rehabilitate Rahul, sacrificing her singing career in doing so. After Saigal reminds them about their dream of Aarohi becoming a successful singer, Rahul orders her to focus on her work. During Aarohi's stage show, Rahul meets Kunal Basu, a journalist, backstage, where Kunal accuses him of using Aarohi for pleasure and money. Furious, Rahul beats up Kunal and starts drinking. He ends up in jail, and Aarohi comes to bail him out. Rahul overhears Aarohi telling Saigal that she is going to leave her career for him and is ready to give up her celebrity status because Rahul is more important to her. Rahul understands that he has become a burden in her life, and that leaving her is his only option to save her. The next day, he bids her farewell by assuring her that he will change his lifestyle, but little is she aware that he actually intends to commit suicide, which he does by jumping off a bridge. His death pains a number of people, including Saigal, who was otherwise insistent, just like Rahul, on Aarohi moving ahead in her career.

Distraught by Rahul's death, Aarohi decides to leave her career but Vivek persuades her to stay. He reminds her that Rahul wanted her to become a successful singer and killed himself as he did not want to be a burden on her and remain an obstacle in the path of her success. Aarohi agrees, and returns to singing. Later, she signs her name as "Aarohi Rahul Jaykar" in a fan's handbook as a tribute to Rahul and her unsung desire to marry him. As it starts raining, she watches the couple who took her autograph sharing a romantic moment under a jacket as she and Rahul had once done.

In September 2011, the Indian media reported that [[Mahesh Bhatt]] and [[Bhushan Kumar]] were keen to remake the 1990 musical blockbuster ''[[Aashiqui]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Madhur Bhandarkar to remake Aashiqui? |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-09-22/news-interviews/30188738_1_madhur-bhandarkar-bhushan-kumar-heroine |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110925042857/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-09-22/news-interviews/30188738_1_madhur-bhandarkar-bhushan-kumar-heroine |url-status=dead |archive-date=25 September 2011 |author=Lalwani, Vickey |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=22 September 2011 |access-date=21 May 2013}}</ref> Kumar approached Bhatt for a possible sequel, although it was [[Shagufta Rafique]]'s melodramatic romantic script which persuaded him that the film had potential as a sequel and decided to proceed with the project.<ref>{{cite web |title=The dream is the same, dreamers have changed: Mahesh Bhatt |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-04-03/news-interviews/38218914_1_aashiqui-vishesh-films-and-t-series-mohit-suri |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130405041124/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-04-03/news-interviews/38218914_1_aashiqui-vishesh-films-and-t-series-mohit-suri |url-status=dead |archive-date=5 April 2013 |date=3 April 2013 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=22 May 2013}}</ref> Given ''Aashiqui''{{'}}s status in Hindi cinematic history as one of the finest Indian musicals of all time, many expressed concerns towards the decision to remake the film, dubious that the producers could come up with a soundtrack on par with the quality of the 1990 film.<ref name="toi">{{cite web |title=Mahesh Bhatt announces "Aashiqui 2" |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-02-08/news-interviews/31034561_1_mahesh-bhatt-shagufta-rafique-aashiqui |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130616024938/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-02-08/news-interviews/31034561_1_mahesh-bhatt-shagufta-rafique-aashiqui |url-status=dead |archive-date=16 June 2013 |author=Jain, Rupam |date=8 February 2012 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=21 May 2013}}</ref> Bhatt stated that they completely resisted the temptation to use the soundtrack of the earlier film, and promised that ''Aashiqui 2'' would revive the era of melodious film music, as ''Aashiqui'' had done 22 years ago.<ref name="ndtv">{{cite web |title=Shraddha Kapoor bags Aashiqui 2 |url=http://movies.ndtv.com/bollywood/shraddha-kapoor-bags-aashiqui-2-228346 |author=Indo-Asian News Service |author-link=Indo-Asian News Service |publisher=[[NDTV]] |date=7 June 2012 |access-date=21 May 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130502030811/http://movies.ndtv.com/bollywood/shraddha-kapoor-bags-aashiqui-2-228346 |archive-date=2 May 2013}}</ref>

=== Casting ===
The film's producers launched a nationwide talent hunt to discover new faces for the film, initially refusing to employ established actors. However, the actors who came to audition were not promising enough for the roles, and the idea was scrapped.<ref name="success">{{cite news |title=Mohit Suri on the success of Aashiqui 2 |url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/features/type/view/id/4928 |author=Jha, Subhash K. |work=[[Bollywood Hungama]] |date=1 May 2013 |access-date=21 May 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130504071527/http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/features/type/view/id/4928 |archive-date=4 May 2013}}</ref> Mahesh Bhatt said, "It was a disastrous talent hunt.

We found her to be very talented. All three actors have extremely challenging dramatic roles."<ref name="ndtv" /> When asked about replacing new actors with known ones, Suri said "People said I couldn't make a film with new actors and expect an audience to come in.

=== Critical response ===
Critics praised the performances, chemistry between the lead pair, and the music.

[[Taran Adarsh]] of ''[[Bollywood Hungama]]'' rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, stating that it "brings romance back on the Hindi screen{{spaced ndash}}intense, pure, selfless and heart wrenching. A stirring account with brilliant moments, bravura performances, strong emotional quotient and addictive music, this one's an absolute must watch for the romantics." He praised the lead cast's performances, writing that " ...Aditya Roy Kapur's depiction of the intense character is outstanding... [which] clearly demonstrates his potency as an artist of caliber and competence. Shraddha also gets to sink her challenging character and the attractive youngster is simply amazing, more so towards the demanding moments in the second hour.

The film also received some mixed reactions from critics. Writing for ''[[Hindustan Times]]'', [[Anupama Chopra]] rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and believed that the film didn't fulfill its potential, but said, "It's an interesting scenario and Suri and his actors set it up well. Aditya gives Rahul's angst a certain charm. He is earnest and broken. And the real triumph here is Shraddha, whose porcelain face has a haunting vulnerability.
