Tum Bin...: Love Will Find a Way

Warning: May contain a spoiler

SYNOPSIS: Shekar (Priyanshu) is a sought after something or other in the business world of Mumbai. At some social gathering, he meets Amar(Rakesh) who is the owner of Shah Industries in Canada. Amar tries to recruit Shekar for his company but is unsuccessful. On the way home a tragedy occurs as Shekar's car hits and kills Amar. Shekar's friend manages to pull him away from the scene as the police arrive.

Shekar's conscience keeps bugging him and doesn't let him live in peace. In the end he decides to go to Canada, to find Amar's family, apologize to them and leave his punishment up to them. Shekar's strength fails him and keeps his past a secret as he applies for a job at the now sinking Shah Industries which is now managed by Amar's broken-hearted fiancée, Pia (Sandali Sinha).

Shekar then manages to bring Shah Industries back from the slums. He also fills the gap Amar left within his family and with Pia. Shekar falls in love with her. A twist in plot comes in the form of Business tycoon Abhigyan (Himanshu) who in the process of helping Shah Industries, falls for Pia. The rest of the story deals with Pia's complicated love life and how Shekar finally reveals his dark secret.

REVIEW: The story although familiar, shows originality at points. Scenery is awesome. Canada never looked so appealing. Credit goes to Anubhav Sinha for picking a place besides the Swiss Alps. The cinematography is excellent especially in the songs which are picturized really well. Also the music by Nikhil-Vinay is a pleasant surprise turning out to be the strongest point of the film. Anubhav Sinha being the second strongest. Even if you don't watch the film, make sure to get a hold of the songs. Most notable among them being Koi Fariyaad and Zoom Bumbura.

I did not expect much from the lead actors, this being their first film. Sandali Sinha aside from being a pretty face, was below average in the acting department. Also her voice started to hurt my ears. Himanshu as Abhigyan is the worst of the lot. He has a lot of trouble delivering his lines. He seems to be reading the script for the first time. And seems to be in pain while trying to relay emotion. Rakesh, who doesn't have a very big part is pretty decent seeming very natural. Priyanshu by far has the best role and also does better than any of the other players. He is the only one that I would like to see more of.

BOTTOM LINE: Tum Bin is an entertaining film, a good way to pass a few hours. Don't expect too much but it is by far the best of the projects coming out nowadays with all those newcomers. Hopefully Anubhav Sinha will get a chance with a bigger unit and better actors. Watch Tum Bin for the music and scenery.

One of the best and clean love story. Story is about Shekhar who in a road accident kills a person. When he comes to know about that person's family, his fiancé, he goes to help them but instead falls in love and tries to run away...For conclusion watch the movie! Songs are one of the best in Hindi cinema. A legendary film.

All the actors have done great job. It's sad none of the actors made it big even after such great performances..

Watch out Great Jagjit Singh Ghazals through out the movie in background. Simply superb words, Superb Music.

It's hard to believe that after such a start, director Anubhav Sinha has given pitiful films like Cash, Tathastu etc. Wish he had made more such films.

Tum Bin is an excellent movie in all respects. The story, screenplay, dialogs, direction, cinematography, acting and music all are excellent and that is why I think it was a hit movie of 2001. All the movie is shot in Canada. The scenery was out standing. All the leading cast was unexperienced but all of them have done a great job. A complete entertainment I would say. Although it is a lovestory, but there is also some humor and that is also very good. The songs are fabulous. Especially the song " Chhoti Chhoti Raatein" was very nice. The ghazal "Koi Faryad" also touches your heart. Sandali Sinha looks quite beautiful.

A movie devoid of any superstar cast can have good results is illustrated by this movie. Like any other Hindi movie however this movie has a melange of emotions that is bound to appeal to any demographic- including Canadians...just because its set in Canada.

Humor is the type that stimulates the brain and not the johnny-lever slapstick. Good strong performances that stay clear of tear jerking.

The movie began with a car accident which was probably the weakest scene...don't return the DVD at this moment ;) I switched the channel it was playing on and returned to a comedy scene and I regretted having missed the parts before that.

Support this movie...this should set the trend.

It is one of the great movies which you would like to lie back and see after a tough week or after you are done with your exams. this movie has all the charm and all the good in it. you will not find any villain , its all a feel good movie.

you feel good thats for sure. The making fascinates you about Canada. This is a lovely movie with charm, music. All the stars in the movie were beginners and none looked as they were doing their first movie. It also shows the sentiments of Indian family though in India or abroad. it touches you.

This movie reminds me about great happy days of my college days. its all in all a movie worth watching and songs can be played in your car for a long time.
