Haal-e-Dil derives inspiration from Mahesh Bhatt's Aashiqui?

Upcoming films seem to be getting inspired by old Bollywood films it seems, surprisingly, not for the stories but the publicity designs. Leading the way is the cover of Haal-e-Dil, which seems to be a direct rip-off of the 90's smash-hit Aashiqui, which made stars of nobodys like Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal.
The cover showed a guy and a girl romancing under a jacket while the rest was left for the imagination of the viewers. Well, it seems like the history is repeating itself in Haal-e-Dil, a film that stars three debutantes Adhyayan Suman, Nakuul Mehta, and Amita Pathak. The filmmakers must be definitely hoping to have the Aashiqui magic rub on the lead stars and thus make the film a smash hit.
Since Aashiqui was a love story between two lovers, a couple under the jacket was justifiable, while Haal-e-Dilis a triangular love story yet the poster shows a couple under a jacket! Shouldn't it have been the triangular pair under the jacket and leave the rest for the imagination of the viewers.
Whatever be the case, let's hope Haal-e-Dil works wonders for its debutant actors like Aashiqui did.
