#MOVIEREVIEW – #TumBin-II – (2016)

Today we are here with the review of one of the two movies released this week TUM BIN-II (2016), a romantic drama movie starring Neha Sharma and new comers Aditya Seal & Aashim Gulati in lead roles,  written and directed by Anubhav Sinha. It’s the sequel of the movie of the same banner 15 years ago by the name TUM BIN. The present movie plot is somewhat similar to first TUM BIN with minor additions/alterations.

PLOT:

Taran (Neha Sharma) and Amar (Aashim Gulati) is a loving couple. On their vacation together, Amar takes a skiing expedition and met with an accident. After, 09 days of search operations, the rescue team fail to find his body and assume him to be dead.

Taran is mourning the loss of her fiance and her family tries to keep her cheered up. After about six months of the incident, her father in law (Kanwal Jeet) introduces her to Shekhar (Aditya Seal), who reminds Taran that in spite of all the pain in life after going of our loved ones, life must go on. Then they start to develop a feeling for themselves and just then only, Amar miraculously returns back after being treated by a doctor for coma for eight months.

Then Taran has a situation to choose between her past and present. Whom will she choose, for that you have to watch movie....

ANALYSIS:

TUM BIN-II may be called remake of the original one and not the sequel as the same concept is used in this movie except for Amar’s return after the accident and more painful is that the movie even lacks emotional connect which was the soul of the previous TUM BIN.

The characters have been crafted so poorly that it you couldn’t bear to sit and watch someone so confused about their life.

Towards the end, one gets a feeling as to how messed up all the three lead characters are when both the boys are playing passing the parcel about Taran and saying ‘Bhai Tu Le Le’, ‘Bhai Tu Le Le’. The over-sentimental  second half drags without any point.

The side characters of Taran’s sisters, Manpreet and Gurpreet are much better than lead roles. The scenes where we see the family enjoying together are very good and specially the dinner table scenes. Light hearted humour in the Gurpreet’s Pakistani love and her sister’s drama over Pakistani is also very enjoyable.

Shekhar’s role in the present movie is philosophical and entirely different to the original film in which Shekhar is a matured guy where his guilt needed no words to express his pain.

TUM BIN-II in spite of having a situational love triangle, teaches you nothing about love where characters are confused between real meaning of love, infatuation, guilt, right or wrongs.

There is nothing new in the film and nothing is surprising which happens during the course of story.

Like the original, the soul of the movie is its beautiful music. But, one thing is for sure that not even a single track could beat Jagjit Singh’s Koi Fariyad even if it is the revamped version. Cinematography is also stunning in the movie.

What’s Good:

Few lighter moments with the family of Taran, melodious songs & good cinematography are few good things in the movie.

Loop holes in the movie:

Second half of the movie is overstretched. Also, the main loop hole is the pathetic acting by the three lead actors.

Star Peformance:-

Neha Sharma with a weak performance almost destroyed the film as one cannot feel the pain of Taran’s character with her expressions & dialogues.

Aditya Seal as Shekhar looked ordinary particularly with expressions.

Aashim Gulati as Amar, who look alike Sidharth Malhotra’s acting is pathetic. It would have been better, he doesn’t have had spoken either.

Kanwal Jeet as we know is a talented actor and performs his part perfectly and so was the role of the Manpreet and Gurpreet, better than the lead roles.

Final words:

If you are going to watch as it is a romantic love story, better stay away, the first version even after 15 years is much more better.

My ratings for this movie is 1.8 out of 5 stars.

So keep following the page, good day till the next review
