Movie Review : Teri Meri Kahaani


This is the first time I am trying to review a movie on this blog. I wanted something to break the big blog break.
So why did I even dare to go and watch this movie.  I wanted to give one last chance to Kunal kohli .. Who made one of my all time favorite Hindi movie –Hum Tum.
The movie narrates 3 love stories from different eras. The director probably wanted to convey the message that in love  where , how , when doesn’t really matter , what matters is the all encompassing feeling of love .
The movie starts with the 1960 love story between Govind , an aspiring musician from Poona and a famous actress Ruksar from Lucknow who meet in Mumbai. Though lot of efforts were put in creating the details of the 1960 era , it lacked the depth , emotions between the main characters and fails to justify why would Ruksar fall for a guy like Govind , mainly because of the poor script and a very comical direction which infact fails to tickle the audience spoiling the emotions at the same time.
The contemporary 2012 story between Radha and Krish comes later which has nothing different to offer. There’s hardly any chemistry between Priyanka and Shahid in this story. Two unknown people bump onto each other in Stratford and end up hanging out over a couple of beers only to realize that they have a deeper connect somewhere. If only it was that easy to find true love !
The third and last thread of this braid is a love story between Javed and Aaradhana from the pre independence era 1910. Though the characters and story sound very unreal , I kind of liked this one. At least you feel the love between the two characters. And besides , loved watching our very own  Daulatabad fort near Auranagabad in the Allah Jaane song.
There was an age and phase when I would have loved such movies , but thankfully that’s over now. 
Though the story boasts of good actors and above average music, what it lacks is a strong convincing script. I would give it 2.5 stars. (The extra half star is purely for how lovely Priyanka looks).

Alas this movie has nothing interesting or different to offer.

Welcome back lady! Missed you bad... Must thank Kunal Kohli for rousing you from your blog slumber, if not anything else! :o)
And yes, it was very nice to look at "our" Daulatabad fort in the song.
