BIK Films Production, Mumbai Films, Enter10 Television and Camera Take Films’ Tera Yaar Hoon Main (UA) is a love story. Sanju Deshmukh (Aman Indra Kumar) falls in love with Anu Purohit (Akanksha Sharma). But Anu’s father, Vishwanath Purohit (Paresh Rawal), has already selected a groom for her. The father wants only the best for Anu, and he feels, the boy selected by him is the most appropriate match for her. Also, Vishwanath Purohit is a man of his word and cannot go back on his promise, whatever the situation. Sanju, who knows Mr. Purohit very well and who has an understanding with him to treat him as a friend rather than an uncle, tries to convince that he is the best life partner for Anu. Does he succeed in making Purohit break his promise to the groom selected by him for his daughter? If yes, does Vishwanath Purohit allow Sanju and Anu to marry? If not, does Anu marry the boy chosen by her father?
The film is inspired by Telugu film Hello Guru Prema Kosame. The story is hardly engaging or interesting and offers no novelty. Perhaps, the only good and novel point about the story is that Sanju and Vishwanath Purohit decide to treat each other as friends and hence Sanju keeps reminding Purohit not to think as Anu’s father but rather to guide him (Sanju) as his (Sanju’s) friend. Rajan Agarwal’s screenplay is so hackneyed that nothing makes an impact — emotional or even otherwise. The love story doesn’t warm the viewers’ hearts. Frankly, every sequence looks heavily inspired by something exactly or quite similar to what one has seen in some hit film or the other. The angle of Tanisha and Sanju’s love story looks conveniently left along the way so that Sanju can plead his case about loving Anu, before her father. With the drama being so predictable, it, obviously, fails to impress the audience. Milap Milan Zaveri’s dialogues are dull.
Aman Indra Kumar makes a very ordinary debut as the hero and fails to impress. He plays Sanju Deshmukh routinely. Akanksha Sharma also doesn’t impress as the heroine (Anu Purohit). Paresh Rawal lends decent support in the role of Anu’s father, Vishwanath Purohit, but he doesn’t have a role which can make the character memorable. Supriya Pilgaonkar is alright as Nandini Purohit. Mrinal Kulkarni is adequate as Sara Deshmukh. Neha Khan does an average job as Tanisha. Darshan Jariwala is good in a special appearance as Tanisha’s father. Rajesh Khera makes his mark in the role of Tripathi. Johny Lever is entertaining in a special appearance as the Sardar taxi driver. Abhishek Mandrecha is very ordinary as Aditya. Neetu Panday (as Aditya’s mother), Alok Sharma (as Aditya’s father), Anand Acharya (as Pathan), Aiman Kalia (as Sunil), Shaila Kanekar (as Sunil’s mother), Pooja Katurde (as Sheetal), Surekha Pathak (as aunty), Priyanka Modgil (as the hot girl), Nilesh Mane (as the peon), Augustine Francis (as the clerk), Vinay Vivaan (as Raghu), Bheram, Naval, Akash (all three as Sanju’s friends), Jayraj Kaman (as uncle), Vikas Vijay (as Kamal), and Ashok, Manisha and Chhaya (all three as Vishwanath’s friends) provide average support.
Milap Milan Zaveri’s direction is dull. Firstly, the script is terribly weak. On top of that, Milap’s narration does little to involve the viewers who, therefore, watch the drama unfold, like passive spectators. Music (Sanjeev Darshan for Hai mere bappa and Maine dil tujh ko diya songs; Payal Dev and Aditya Dev for the title track and Tumhi se pyar; Anand Raaj Anand for ‘Daddy’ song; Meet Bros. and Khushboo G. Nasir for ‘Friend friend’) is okay. Lyrics (Anand Raaj Anand, Kumaar, Indra Kumar and Kunaal Verma) are fair. Adil Shaikh’s choreography is ordinary. Raju Singh’s background music is alright. Nigam Bomzan does a fine job of the cinematography. Amin Khatib’s action and stunt scenes are routine. Production designing (by Tajamul Shaikh and Anshita Manot) is ordinary. Maahir Zaveri and Sanjay Sankla’s editing leaves something to be desired.
On the whole, Tera Yaar Hoon Main is a weak fare with bleak chances at the ticket windows. A non-starter.
