Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Executscan Expected more

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

silvan-desouza Kunal Kohli returns after a hiatus with TERI MERI KAHAANI, the film has a novel concept but it fails to appeal to the audiences. The film is divided into 3 stories, all having Shahid and Priyanka but there is no re birth and all. The first story is of a struggling musician Shahid and an actress Priyanka, the story is well handled and Shahid-Prachi scenes are cute and the sudden change of event is well handled The second story also is good no doubt but nothing unusual about it though the twitterati is well justaxposed and the story does seem believable and then we have 1910 story where Shahid plays a Muslim poet and here too some portions are well handled like Shahid joining the struggle, but the culmination is predictable The way Kunal Kohli concludes all stories however deserves a mention though A problem with the film is the pace dips many times making the viewer impatient, also those expectating something hatke will get irritated with the predictability, even the romantic portions aren't too involving many timesKunal Kohli tries something hatke but the writing does spoil things Music is superb, Humse Pyaar Kar Le, Uff are the best songs, Muktassar is superb too Dialogues are good, especially ones mouthed by Javed(Shahid, 1910)Shahid Kapur yet again experiments and plays 3 roles however barring Javed character rest all have a deja vu feeling yet he plays all 3 well and does a superb job as Javed especially Priyanka Chopra too gets to play 3 different roles and does well in all 3 Amongst rest Prachi Desai is good, Neha Sharma is okay in a cameo Surendra Pal and Vrajesh Hirjee are adequate

Srinivas G Phani 6 years ago, Kunal Kohli came up with a masterpiece that redefined commercial cinema with its taut script, stellar performances and hauntingly wonderful music - Fanaa. Teri Meri Kahani comes nowhere near Fanaa or even Hum Tum. It is plain ordinary and too much of bollywoodish nonsense that spoil the show.The film starts larger than life in 1960 with struggling musician, Kapoor, bumping into the superstar, Chopra, in the first class compartment. They instantly connect and the segment moves in Charlie Chaplin style. Enter the other corner of the triangle - the charming girl next door - Desai. We are bombarded with some over the top executed scenes and immediately cut to 2012. I hoped that the outlandish execution would stop here but no, I still had to sit through. Kapoor breaks up with Sharma and finds his new love by midnight. Chopra and Kapoor flirt and date on facebook, sms and then Sharma starts the cat fight. Some more senseless drama and then 1910.This was the weakest part of the film that went on and on and on. Kohli had some superb characterizations and shayaris at stake which he filled up the complete second hour. Starting from the hero taking refuge in the Punjabi heroine's house to being beaten up by the police in front of her to her visits to the jail and meaningless dance there, the second half was intolerable. Shahid has acted well but that didn't save the show. Scenes done to death in Hindi films were presented badly and this was Kohli's formula for a hit film - insert crap drama that the Indians used to love once upon a time. Bollywood needs to grow up.Priyanka hams through the eras with her Anjaana Anjaani style. She needs to reinvent with better roles. Bad direction spoils her show. Shahid Kapoor is good in all three stories and the only saving grace. Neha Sharma is highly competent and steals the show with her arrogant attitude. Prachi Desai is just the same OUATIM girl.Production design was consistent, if not good. Cinematography lacked innovation and got repetitive after a point. Sandeep Shirdorkar composes yet another winning BGM after Players. Sajid-Wajid's music is better than the previous ventures but they acted as speed breakers. Maula Jaane was specifically uninteresting and boring in the film. Screenplay and editing were good but the story lacked the punch. The third story which took 45 minutes of the show culminates confusingly. One wonders if the twist towards the end was necessary and if the end was apt. In fact, the end of all the three stories lacked the punch.Teri Meri Kahani uses the 70's Bollywood formula to make BO hit film. The director uses impressive ways to present the first half that make it watchable but the second half was a pain in the ass. On the whole, a below average film from the director of Fanaa.

Faisal Khatib "The film is not about reincarnation", exclaimed Director Kunal Kohli at the press conference of 'Teri Meri Kahani' at the Ritz Carlton, Dubai. It's about three different couples and their love story in three different eras i.e. pre-independence 1910, retro 1960 & social media 2012. Unfortunately casting the same actors for all three eras does confuse you about what the connection between the three stories is. Supposedly apart from true love nothing else.We start off with the year 1960; film star Rukhsar (Priyanka Chopra) meets musician Govind (Shahid Kapoor) on a train to Bombay and they're instantly attracted to each other. Maahi (Prachi Desai) is the third corner in the love triangle that ensues. Moving on to the year 2012 (London); Krish (Shahid Kapoor) breaks up with girlfriend Meera (Neha Sharma) and literally bumps into Radha (Priyanka Chopra). They get along "quoting Meera" like old jeans. A social media interruption and they go their separate ways. And now comes the interesting bit. Post interval, we meet playboy Javed (Shahid Kapoor) and hard to impress Aradhana (Priyanka Chopra) in Lahore in the year 1910. A jail term later, the lovers find themselves divided thanks to a change in marital status."Hum Tum" was a fantastic film. Kunal Kohli had done a brilliant job writing and directing it. Unfortunately apart from that, none of his other films have been particularly impressive in comparison. "Teri Meri Kahani" isn't very different from those films. Using pointless subplots (song and dance in the jail comes to mind) to reach the melodramatic scenes made it seem like he had run out of ideas. And that's where even the best era of the three fell apart. You can't take the viewers for a ride over a completely ridiculous premise.And then there were the extremely long love songs slowing down the film every time it picked up any pace. I get it that Hindi films need to have songs in them especially when it's a romantic love story. But do the actors really need to sing for five minutes just to proclaim their love for each other? What was wrong with the brilliant chemistry they were sharing? Isn't that enough?The use of blue/green screen (behind the scene shots showed in the credits) to create the 1960's era was reminiscence of the films that were made then. It was an interesting touch though not sure if it was intentional. The silent/Charlie Chaplin films touch was an honest attempt at comedy though it failed to impress. Computer generated graphics used to depict the Bombay of 1960s were average but got the job done and didn't detract from the story. Shahid Kapoor as Govind was adorable though the chemistry he shared with Priyanka Chopra seemed a little forced. There were plenty of cute moments but you don't feel bad when things go awry. Prachi Desai as Maahi was surprisingly good and effective.2012 was all about social media and getting drunk. I loved the way social networks i.e BBM, facebook, twitter etc. were used in this era, bringing people close or breaking their hearts. Unfortunately the highlight was the chemistry between Shahid Kapoor and Neha Sharma when they are breaking up. That's never a good thing for a love story. And seriously there is more to 2012 than falling in love overnight while being drunk (remember Ek Main Aur Ek Tu).Javed was by far the best character in the film. It was well written and brilliantly presented on screen. The chemistry between Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra was funny, lovable and heartwarming. Apart from unnecessary songs and (some) dialogues, this love story was the best of the three. You laugh along with them and even feel their despair when they cry.Even with its slow pace, I didn't mind the way the film was edited by Amitabh Shukla. Cinematography by Sunil Patel was well balanced with good camera work and well-designed sets. The music and background score were annoying and repetitive. Costumes weren't outlandish, which was a welcome change from other similar films.It's hard enough to get a love story right nowadays and it's understandable that trying to tell three in one film wasn't going to be easy. The problem doesn't lie with the concept but the way it's presented to the audience with its rough edges. In the end, yet another below-average Hindi film made a lot of promises but fell short in most of them.
