The original Love Aaj Kal was a phenomenal film that enamoured audiences with its gripping story about true love. Fans immediately felt nostalgic when they watched the trailer for the new Love Aaj Kal. Here are a few nostalgic moments from the new trailer that fans of the old film enjoyed.

The original film constantly switched between the past and the present, with each timeline having its own story of heartbreak and romance. Saif Ali Khan played the same character in both the timelines and the film revolved around his life story. Kartik Aaryan will be doing something similar in the new film, as the trailer showcased that the 2020 version will also have two simultaneous timelines. Kartik also seems to be playing the same character in both the past and the present, just like Saif did in the first film.

The 2009 Love Aaj Kal was not only a beautiful romantic story but it was also full of amazing songs that fans love even to this day.

One of the most iconic scenes in the first Love Aaj Kal was when Saif Ali Khan ran after Giselli and boarded a train to get to her. The trailer for the new film gave fans a glimpse of a similar scene that will be present in the upcoming movie. In the trailer, older Kartik Aaryan is standing on a railway platform, looking at someone standing in the crowd. Fans immediately linked this scene in the trailer to the scene in the original and many believe that it will be the same moment remade with the new cast.
