Teri Meri Kahaani - Movie Review

I know i m a little late this time around, but was rather occupied. Anyways, having seen TMK twice already, the best way to describe this 2 hour long-'thrice upon a love story' is - Love triunphson  all odds, no matter how cliched it is! :P

Marking Kunal Kohli's return to direction after a long hiatus, Teri Meri Kahani works well on the romance and acting front, but loses some brownie points on the story and novelty front. Starring Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra in the lead, the film gives them 3 different time eras (three different looks and characters) and thus, ample opportunity to showcase their talent. And, surprisingly, they do not disappoint. Their crackling chemistry is evident, especially in the !920 based story.


The movie traces three love stories, starting in 1960, jumping to 2012 and again going back to 1910. All the stories involve Shahid-Priyanka, entangled in love and uske side effects. Providing support are Prachi Desai and Neha Sharma, who fit well in their short, but sweet roles. The 1960's era is oh-so-believable, barrig the Chaplin inspired sequences involving Shahid and Vrijesh Hirjee. The next story is set in 2012 and is adorably  believable with FB fights, FB status and tweets galore! The last story set in 1910 is where Kunal Kohli gets out his Sher-o-shayari. IT has a different charm, which remind you of Fanaa.

The leads deliver yet another awesome performance and their chemistry lights up the screen. Prachi Desai has a cute role and does justice to it. Neha Sharma is good, but her role is inconsequential. All the other supporting actors are good as well. Apart from the performances, the screenplay, the dialogues and the cinematography is goof too.

What falls flat is- the void in the story and confusing climax. Though it has 3 stories intertwined, its seems a little longer than the duration of 120 minutes. But, still, watch it for the soft romance genre, which is missing these days. On the whole, its good watch! My rating- 2.75/5.
