Movie Review: Teri Meri Kahani

Mumbai 1960. London 2012. Lahore 1910.

Over three stories spanning more than a century, Shahid flirts with his girlfriends before falling head over heels for Priyanka. The connection is immediate and sizzling. But will their janam janam ka rishta survive the surprises life throws at them?

Interesting possibilities, but the movie falls short of expectations. The three stories lack imagination, the writer fails to weave any connection between them. Mumbai 1960 tries to recreate the era, but the set designers do not deliver. Lahore survives only on a few interesting shers. London is better, both Shahid and Priyanka look good and the chemistry seems to work very well. Innovative takes on Twitter, Facebook and SMSes add to the "atmosphere". Neha Sharma looks smoking hot in a short cameo as Shahid's girlfriend. After Crook, wish the girl had a lot more to do in Bollywood! The soundtrack is very ordinary, very little to talk about. The song picturizations are force fit into the movie, add very little to the entertainment value or the story, and are a good time to catch two winks.

Avoid unless you are a die hard fan of Shahid or PC.
