Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures’ Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (UA) is a love story. Ray (Kartik Aaryan) and Rumi (Ananya Panday) meet while flying out of the country to Croatia. They get friendly to each other while in Croatia. Friendship soon develops into love. While Ray has been brought up by his single mother, Pinky (Neena Gupta), Rumi lives with her father (Jackie Shroff) and sister, Jia (Chandni Bhabhda). Ray lives in the US whereas Rumi resides in Agra.
Even as it seems that Ray and Rumi are made for each other and will, therefore, get married and live happily ever after, there comes a roadblock in their lives — an impediment which threatens to separate the two lovers forever. What is it that comes in the way of their marriage? Do they succeed in surmounting the trouble? Or does the love story remain a sad one?
Karan Shrikant Sharma has written a heartfelt and youthful story which has a novel twist. His screenplay is both, interesting and engaging. The first half, with romance as its focus, has a lot of light scenes and moments, which keep the viewers in good spirits. The post-interval portion takes an emotional turn because the family drama takes over from the romantic part. Although the second half might not make the viewers cry buckets, the weak-hearted may get moist-eyed at several places. Of course, there are light moments in the second half too, and they are enjoyable. The part in which Ray tries to win the confidence of Rumi’s father appears a bit too simplistic and hurried, but that’s a slight aberration. The main thrust of the drama is grammatically correct — and that’s what is really important. Karan Shrikant Sharma’s dialogues are very weighty and often touch the heart. The comic ones evoke laughter.
Kartik Aaryan is endearing as Ray. He acts very well and is good in romantic, light as well as emotional scenes. Ananya Panday looks beautiful and acts with admirable ease in the role of Rumi. Neena Gupta is terrific as Ray’s mother, Pinky. Jackie Shroff plays Rumi’s father, Col. Amar Wardhan Singh, with all the conviction at his command. Chandni Bhabhda lends decent support as Rumi’s sister, Jia. Grusha Kapoor is excellent as Mrs. Bhatia. Lokesh Mittal makes his mark as Mr. Bhatia. Tiku Talsania is natural as Shastriji. Sapna Sand is extraordinarily hilarious as Renu. Gaurav Pandey provides very good support as Luv. Mohit Nehra is adequate as Sukhi. Kabir Jai Bedi is alright as Vicky. Raghav Binani and Archi Mishra provide entertaining moments as Sunny and Sana respectively. Afnan Fazli (as Shoaib) and Kartavya (as Zoheb) make their presence felt. Pankhuri Gidwani (as Tanya), Isha Agarwal (as the bride), Vinod Soni (as the bride’s father, Mr. Puri), Preeti Mehta (as the bride’s mother, Mrs. Puri), and the rest are adequate.
Sameer Vidwans’ direction is sensitive. He has made a wholesome entertainer for all classes of audience. Vishal Sheykhar’s music is appealing. The songs have a very youthful feel, which goes well with the film’s mood. The title track is already popular. Lyrics (Anvita Dutt and Kumaar) are impressive. Remo D’Souza’s choreography is eye-pleasing. The dance steps are lovely. Hitesh Sonik’s background music is impactful. Anil Mehta’s cinematography is superb. Amar Shetty’s action and stunt scenes are alright. Amrita Mahal Nakai’s production designing, and Rohan Kate’s art direction are of good standard. Manan Ashwin Mehta’s editing is sharp.
On the whole, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is a fair entertainer. It has the merits to do decent business but the opposition of Dhurandhar (in its fourth week) and Avatar: Fire And Ash (in its second week) will prove to be tough on the film.
Released on 25-12-’25 at Inox (in 5 shows; in daily 6 shows from 26-12-’25) and other cinemas of Bombay by Dharma Productions. Publicity: very good. Opening: below the mark in spite of Christmas holiday, and because of the opposition of Dhurandhar and Avatar: Fire And Ash. …….Also released all over. Opening was not up to the mark at most of the places.
