Teri Meri Kahaani (2012)

Dreadfully Boring

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

I saw the movie and than saw the reviews...What I can say is I am disappointed in the reviews and not the movie. I felt like clapping at the end of the movie..It was wonderfully acted,directed but due to the poor promotion moderately received. I can only say that when u watch the movie try to see the magic that surrounds it. 1 of the reviews said that it feels like 3 love stories well it is. It is not focusing on anything else it jest says love is true no matter the situation. I would give it 4.5/5 but as others gave it 3 i give it 5/5. And if u watch it with the one you love it might just add another layer of magic to your love...

Since watching it i have heard scores of people for criticizing the movie for not being too original and having a bad screenplay and frankly i had enough. I myself am a writer and saw not that big of a loopholes and last of all the movie managed to put a smile on a face and after a long time i was really happy on seeing a film just like my friend. I agree the effort on Priyanka's part appears half hearted in some scenes as compared to the really honest performance from Shahid though i agree the script needed some push in the 2012 era but still onus should be given for the twist in the second half... The background music in some scenes should have been better and the scene in the bar where Shahid and his ex keep posting embarrassing pictures of each other is really the attention catcher and a indication of how social networking can harm your reputation in seconds. Though the pace could have been a bit faster but only in rare parts you feel this need.

TERI MERI KAHAANI (Movie Review)ONE LINER:Thrice Upon A Love Story!!EXPECTATIONS:Well Expectations were never very high after first theatrical but after the second theatrical and song promos interest started being developed.. And after KAMINEY Shahid Priyanka Jodi was being getting together again so there were some good expectations because of their on screen chemistry.. VIEWS:1960 Era : The movie started from 1960's era story. the story is very well told and acting and direction here is very nice.. The comic monents in this era are really funny and enjoyable. JAB SE MERE DIL KO UFF is awesomely picturised and beautifully sung according to the 60's era..2012 Era : This Era is very well defined as the daily life relationships going on these days by the means of communications shown is totally truth.. and very well executed story but still it feels that something is missing. Both the songs are very well picturised . Especially the concept of That's All I Really Wana Do is superb.1910 Era : Now this is the era which is most enjoyable and very well executed according to the era. The dialogues, the poetry , the acting is just too good.. and love angle is also very nicely shown.. ALLAH JAANE is used brilliantly while HUMSE PYAR KARLE is also nice..STORY & SCRIPT:Story of all the eras is quite good and the script here is a big PLUS .. script is very good..DIRECTION:KUNAL KOHLI is back in form totally on director's seat and maintains his history.. first he made MUJHSE DOSTI KAROGI which was a blunder, then he made HUM TUM which was a gem, then he made FANNA which was half awesome and Half Poor, then he again made a blunder of THORA PYAR THORA MAGIC. Now it was his turn to make a better one and he made a beautiful love story here,, Direction is very good..Editing is brilliantly done , the way all three story merges in one another is very good..MUSIC:Music by SAJID WAJID is a great surprise package. This is there best music other than Salman Khan's movie.. All the songs are beautifully composed. Especially ALLAH JAANE is a beautiful composition and brilliantly sung by RAHAT FATEH ALI KHAN. He got a very good song after many average songs. But the most special song of the album in my opinion is JABSE MERE DIL KO UFF awesomly sung by Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi. MUKHTASAR is also a good composition and nicely sung but could have been much better if it would had been sung by Atif Aslam or Ali Zafar.. but still a good one. remaining two songs HUMSE PYAR KARLE and THAT's What are also enjoyable..CASTING & ACTING:SHAHID KAPOOR is the life of TMK. He is best in 1910's Javed .. he has brilliantly acted in that flirty man of that era. He again dips in 60's era character and acted very well as Govind.. Acted well as Krish too.. He makes the entire movie fresh & enjoyable..PRIYANKA CHOPRA is so attractive and had a great screen presence totally in entire film in all roles she plays.. And she has acted very well too. SHAHID & PRIYANKA's chemistry is superb. and they both rock together again.NEHA SHARMA & PRACHI DESAI both are stunning in there respective roles. and played their roles very nicely.. All other actors are very good too.. The role of cameraman played 60's was too good to enjoy.. he was fun.PLUSSES & MINUSES:PLUSSES:1. Shahid Kapoor.2. Direction & Editing.3. Music and picturization of songs.4. Chemistry of Shahid and Priyanka.5. The length of the movie.MINUSSES:1. 2012 Era is quite good but it feels something is missing and could have been better.2. Climax can be more polished , still it is good.CONCLUSION:Overall TERI MERI KAHAANI is nice concept well executed and totally enjoyable. Want some entertaining time. Do urself a favour. Go and watch TERI MERI KAHAANI..

I decided to watch Kunal Kohli's Teri Meri Kahani before the other releases even though I didn't really like his previous 2 releases because I thought that it would be a light hearted romantic comedy and it was actually that. It starts off in 1960 when Govind who's going to Mumbai to try out his luck as a musician bumps into Urvashi, an already established heroin in the film industry. The 2012 one comes in next; there's another bump and that is followed by the 1910 story; another bump of course. At the end of each the lovers are temporarily distanced from each other and towards the end of the movie the 3 stories run parallel to each other as everyone meets everyone and love ensues. Simple. But then again there's nothing much we can do about the endings. They have to meet. What we can do is make the journey interesting, which is where the movie does just about okay. I found the 1960 story the best. It had almost everything in place but the other two weren't up to the mark. If one had good dialogues it didn't have good music; if one had good music it had a boring storyline. And most definitely both had bad screenplays. Shahid Kapur looks handsome and gives an earnest performance in all 3 characters and its because of him that I want the movie to succeed.Priyanka Chopra looks really hot but again hams when she has to play the romantic parts. I hate her for that. Kunal Kohli you could have tried a little harder. If you are a guy 1.5/5 If you are a girl I am thinking it would be 2.5/5 2/5 if (forgive me if I sound cheesy )you think you are in looob :P A good timepass, Meri taraf se 2/5 !!
