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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
