Critic consensus
Critical reception for Teri Meri Kahaani is predominantly negative to mixed, with most reviewers finding the film superficial and emotionally unconvincing despite an intriguing multi-era premise. The 1960s period recreation and select musical numbers drew scattered appreciation from critics, as did Prachi Desai's performance in one segment. However, the majority felt the love stories lacked depth and genuine feeling, with the repetitive narrative structure across three timelines offering little variation in outcome. Only one reviewer offered strong enthusiasm, while several suggested the film was better suited for a television viewing or skipped entirely.

What I enjoyed most was the recreation of Mumbai in 1960 — empty streets, an Art Deco movie theatre, women in breathlessly tight blouses and bouffant hairdos. But the film's main ingredient — love — is too synthetic to soar.

Teri Meri Kahaani doesn't work despite potential in the premise. It feels soulless and superficial, and is unlikely to find many fans.

Teri Meri Kahaani is pretty much like the loves of the film's male protagonist – it pours out all it has. But what it has simply isn't enough.

Who wants three Shahids and three Priyankas for the price of one ticket? Not me, even though I duly bought mine, and prepared to be regaled three times over by a pair of actors who are capable of good things on their good days.
Film review ·
On the whole, TERI MERI KAHAANI is uncomplicated and charming. Not the usual romantic fare, this one presents three different stories in three different eras without getting theatrical or melodramatic. Thanks to its innovative storytelling, it comes across as the perfect date movie, holding tremendous appeal for the Facebook Gen. TERI MERI KAHAANI is pleasurable and fascinating in equal measures!

There is a high probability that all three stories will not appeal to everybody. You may connect with one or two of them but it is unlikely that you will connect with all three. This is what holds back the film from being 'highly recommended' and puts it in the category of 'one time watch'. However, it is a not a bad one time watch at all.

To put it simply, this story is - Boy meets girl. Period. Boy meets girl. Period. And boy meets girl. Period...
Film review ·
What's the point of telling three different love stories if you plan to give them a similar finish off? The whole exercise seems plain cosmetic. But till the point the make-up doesn't wear off, Teri Meri Kahaani is a far better film than I came to see.
Film review ·
The foot tapping songs such as "Mukhtasar", "Uff" and "Humse Pyaar Karle Tu" are well-written, melodiously sung and deftly choreographed. All in all, 'Teri Meri kahaani' is not Kunal Kohli's best work but still is a light watch sans any vulgarity.

Waiting for its television premier would be a wiser choice to catch this kahaani.

According to me, the one actress to benefit from this will be Prachi Desai. Watch her in her Asha Parekh get-up. Absolutely charming.

Teri Meri Kahaani has proven to be quite disappointing and it can be easily avoided.
