Thank you to the entire cast and crew that made this experience so memorable. ...it’s about the liberation of a broken heart.... @aishwaryaraibachchan_arb @anushkasharma #ranbirkapoor @dharmamovies.”


The movie had received mixed to positive reviews. Moviegoers had praised Ranbir’s chemistry with both the actresses, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The latter played a super-glamorous role in the movie and though she had only 20-25 minutes of role in the film, her performance was one of the highlights in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. While it has been three years, the songs of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil are still loved by the audiences.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil had faced a lot of controversies as it starred Pakistani actors Fawad Khan and Imran Abbas.
