Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Review: Kartik, Ananya Film Is A Swanky But Bumpy Ride On An Uneven Road

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Review: Kartik, Ananya Film Is A Swanky But Bumpy Ride On An Uneven Road Ananya Panday delivers an impressive act given the material at hand, bringing an easy confidence to her part. But Kartik Aaryan comes across as overbearing in parts. Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu MeriU/A 3 /5 | Hindi2 hrs 25 mins | Romantic Comedy Starring: Kartik Aaryan, Ananya Panday, Jackie Shroff and Neena Gupta Director: Sameer Vidwans Music: Vishal-Sheykhar Watch Trailer Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Movie Review: “Hook-up culture mein 90s jaisa love story dhund rahi hoon," says Ananya Panday’s Rumi. To quite an extent, that’s what Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (TMMTMTTM) can be best described as. But the road to the finale of this love story infused with dollops of family drama is a bumpy and meandering one. In fact, be ready and patient enough to sit through multiple detours before you finally arrive to the destination. This one-liner paper-thin plot could’ve been wrapped up way faster than 2 hours 25 minutes. But instead, director Sameer Vidwans decides to create a recipe by borrowing ingredients from too many cuisines. At times, it will remind you of the pre-interval chunk of Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.

And much like this Karan Johar directorial, TMMTMTTM stays true to the classic Dharma Productions’ descriptor. There are big sets, chic costumes, grand song-and-dance sequences, stunning foreign locations and a helicopter. While all of that renders the film loads of sheen, it robs it off its novelty. TMMTMTTM revolves around Rehaan and Rumi. Rehaan, who randomly flashing his washboard abs, lives in the US with his mother Pinky and they run a big and lucrative wedding planning company. They fly down to Delhi for one of their assignments. Before jetting off to the US and moving into their dream mansion, Rehaan decides to take a solo trip to Croatia. At the airport, he bumps into Rumi, a writer, whose recently released novel has bombed. What follows is a squabble where she accuses him of mansplaining. He, on the other hand, gives her lessons on how chivalry and feminism are antithetical. As luck and a quintessential Bollywood screwball romance would have it, they end up being co-passengers on the same flight. Serendipitously, they also end up taking the same yacht and are even given the same chamber to share, because why...
