If, after watching the trailers of Teri Meri Kahaani, you thought that this movie will invoke those long-lost Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge days, well, you are in for a surprise because Teri Meri Kahaani is not even close to those old-time love stories. The pointlessness of this movie will make it easier for you to avoid it.
As per the rule of Bollywood, a baby boy and a baby girl wrapped in blue and pink blankets respectively come across each other and are destined to be together forever.
In1960, Govind (Shahid Kapoor) wants to come to Mumbai with dreams of becoming singer/musician and happens to meet a filmstar Rukhsar. The couple falls in love instantly.
In 2012, Krish and Radha bump into each other in England and just a single night spent together brings them the true love of which everyone dreams.
Call it fate, co-incidence or rebirth but Javed and Aradhana are destined to fall for each other head-over-heels, even in 1916.
The three love stories turned into one Teri Meri Kahaani has little love and more randomness. There is no connection shown between any of the three eras, the characters don’t remember their past lives and though this helps in cutting down on the melodrama, the movie feels absolutely pointless. Teri Meri Kahaani really lacks in showing that destiny has brought the couple together in more than one lifetime and this makes the movie simply a compilation of three random stories. Of all the three stories, the first one, i.e. the one taking place in 1960s, is the slowest and most boring of the three.
Talking of the star performances, Shahid Kapoor is undoubtedly superb with his versatility. He pulls off all the three characters aptly and is interesting to watch. Priyanka Chopra is all the more same in every avatar. Prachi Desai and Neha Sharma have hardly any role but they fare well.
The music by Sajid-Wajid is pretty decent. Director Kunal Kohli could’ve done a much better job than this one for sure.
On a last note, the love stories are predictable but still if you want to know in detail and try and feel the “love-in-the-air”, then watch the movie to find out more.
Rating : 2/5
