The
concept of love triangles is age-old in Hindi cinema.
What
then does director Deepak Anand's latest release
Tum Se Achcha Kaun Hain offer to the Hindi
film buff? For one, newcomer Nakul Kapur who
makes his debut. And Nadeem-Shravan's music.
Like
any other Hindi film TSAKH has its share of dreams,
love, jealousy and action. Set in rural Rajasthan,
this is the story of villager Arjun Singh (Nakul
Kapur), and his dream of becoming a famous singer.
As a driver and tourist guide, Arjun meets Naina (Aarti
Chabria) who is holidaying with Manto (Raghuveer
Yadav) and some friends. Friendship blossoms,
but Naina must return home. Not before she promises
Arjun free lodge and board if he ever decides to come
to Mumbai.
He
takes her up on it. And Naina's family accepts him
like their own. A string of rejections by music directors
makes Arjun question his aspirations. But Naina's
idea for a mobile concert atop an uncovered truck
has him rejuvenated.
Enter
Bobby (Kim Sharma), arrogant, spoilt brat whose
hate for Arjun metamorphosises into a strange attraction
after she hears him croon Dil gaya. Using her papa's
(Dalip Tahil) hard earned greens she launches
Arjun as popstar and falls, quite literally, madly
in love with him. All this while poor Naina, who secretly
adores Arjun masks her own feelings.
Arjun and Naina fall in love and decide to get married.
The news shatters Bobby, who dreams of marrying Arjun.
Hysterical, she shoots Arjun in the hand and rushes
to Khandala where she tries to kill herself.
TSAKH
moves at a brisk pace and the director ensures that
the audience doesn't lose track.
Nadeem-Shravan
do a good job with the compositions, especially
with the Sukhwinder Singh number Aap jaisa
and Sonu Niigam's Door waadiyon se. Watch out
for Soraj Khan's choreography, too.
Model-turned-actor
Nakul Kapur makes an impressive outing. Kim
Sharma makes the grade but her character is a
tame rip-off of Urmila Matondkar's in Pyaar Tune Kya
Kiya. Aarti Chabria, however, does no justice
to her part.
What's
interesting about TSAKH is that it has a little bit
of everything, but it never gets to be too much. Though,
the film may not be a hit of mammoth proportions,
it will draw collections at the BO.
