Disclaimer: I am not a fan of Pawan Kalyan and if this review hurts your sentiments, it is merely due to the fact a spade is being called a spade and no malicious intent of hurting sentiments of people who cant see spade.
Now that I have given the disclaimer I am feeling light at heart. I don’t generally watch his movies during opening week. I avoid watching them in the first month too. I generally mitigate risk by reading reviews and consulting some victims before going to the theatre. This time I took an exception for two reasons. Second reason is I managed to get the tickets thanks to online booking system in multiplex theatres. (I voluntarily ignored the first reason as its my little secret)
Hey chikitha italiano pasta michealo. I know you did not understand this. Even I didn’t despite limited knowledge I have that pasta is Italian food. Movie is full of such dialogues which neither make sense to the story nor to the audience. Audience are saved because of this. Trouble lies in the rest of the movie which audience understand.
I did not watch the original hindi movie on which the story is based, Love Aaj Kal. Well to speak the truth the intent looked good going by the story. Story draws parallel between Love as it exists today and the olden days. Needless to say old love is nearly depicted as platonic and new one materialistic. Old love is depicted as firm in its existence and newer one opportunistic. This is what is supposed to be made as movie. You might ask why am I pissed off with this seemingly decent point? Well narration sucks!! Really!
It’s not new thing to us where two stories of past and present are merged in narration by the directors. Say for example Rang De Basanti does that very beautifully with out causing any boredom to the audience. Teenmaar does not seem to have such seamless integration in the narration which often bores the audience. The narration takes a dig at the confused state of today’s lovers, who don’t know what love means. To make matter worse it takes a dig at marriage system, when heroin realizes she is in love with other man a day after marriage. Sick, isn’t it? Pawan’s character has some resemblance to character played by ram charan in orange movie, I felt. He looked much more confused than Ram.
Music did not appeal a lot to me as I heard it frist time n screen. I am sure ANR would have felt bad for the way his hit song Basti Dorsani is used in this movie. Pawan’s action resembles that of what it was in Kushi/Jalsa despite the effort to show variation in the second character played of Arjun Palwai. Paresh Rawal holds real key to the movie with his narration of (G)olden love story to Hero. Trisha did justice to her role (despite the characterization blunder made) and might serve as crowd puller with her thigh and cleavage shows through out the movie. Other heroin neither had the scope nor the appeal. Director has left much to be desired as in the end I got confused if the message was supporting old love or newer version as they both seemed to have met same end.
Can some one help me understand what Teenmaar means and how its linked to the story?
