Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya Movie Review


Bollywood Romcoms have a nasty habit of turning stale and predictable. Only been two weeks since the main Ek Aur Ek insipidus Your left a bad taste in my mouth. So it was with a little trepidation that I sat down to watch Mandeep Kumar Tere Naal love directed by Ho Gaya starring newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Deshmukh. To my surprise, I ended up enjoying the movie.

Viren (Ritesh) is an automatic controller of hard work that works for Bhatti (tinnu Anand). Mini Bhatti's daughter (Genelia) is a free-spirited girl who is not happy with the choice of his father, a husband for her. On the day of its commitment Viren becomes intoxicated place demanding the money he feels cheated him Bhatti. Mini sees this as an opportunity to escape the unwanted marriage and flees with Viren, making it look like he has kidnapped her. At the time Viren realizes what has actually happened is too late to turn back. Mini advised to continue the charade and get your money back from his father as ransom. While waiting for a rescue to come, Mini and Viren develop an unlikely friendship that slowly turns into love.

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya is not a great script and there is nothing unique in its narrative. However, the film has freshness. Mandeep Kumar direction may lack sophistication, but there is a charming zeal therein. Perhaps that is the reason why some freedoms quite illogical film did not bother me much. Although there is no "laugh out loud" moments of the film, the humor and tenderness to light all the characters keep a smile on my face throughout the film.

A little attention to detail (especially the family portrait of Ritesh Haryanvi) may have elevated the film a lot. Some scenes look a bit shoddy and there are times when one feels that the director was in a hurry to finish the shot. The item number by Veena Malik was not only unnecessary but also a bad surprise in a clean family film. However, these are small complaints.

Sachin-Jigar's music is in keeping with the spirit of the film. The songs are well choreographed and well placed in the film. Cinematography deserves a mention to give the film its fresh look. Editing is good too. So are the dialogues, though I wish I had a little more punch.

You have to give credit to Ritesh and Genelia to bring in the right amount of sweetness to their roles. Ritesh is restricted although not bode well in the romantic scenes. Genelia plays the role bigger and better and do justice to it. While she can not reach the level of Kareena in Jab We Met (in a similar role), their vivacity somewhat compensates for the shortcomings of his dialogue delivery. The cast of Om Puri, Anand tinnu, Smita Jayakar and others is very good too.

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya delivers what it promises - a cute little romantic comedy. Do not go expecting the film route last minute and you can end up spending two pleasant hours.
