Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge

When I first saw Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge I was surprised by what it presented. The title quite suggests a movie that is something on the lines of a romantic drama or something of this sort. But the film is not. It does have its romance and drama like every other Hindi movie, but more than anything it's an action thriller. The storyline is quite interesting and it's extremely twisted and unpredictable. But the movie itself does not really offer anything incredibly special and is overall a rather ordinary product, which, on top of that, is unoriginal. That's the case with most Hindi movies of its sort, and sadly so. The film has a stronger second half, but in the end, it does not make that great an impact. Salman Khan plays the leading role, and he does quite well. His role requires him to look confused, and he manages to look successfully awkward. Diya Mirza is pretty and likable. Sushmita Sen is okay in a relatively small role. Sharat Saxena is fine as the loving father. One song that Ireally liked is "Yeh Bekhudi" which is beautifully sung by Sonu Nigam and very well pictured on screen. Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge is a surprising but not particularly impressive film, but still it can be seen once.

Tumko Naa Bhool Payenge is a amazing Thriller with a superb twist. I have seen thousands of films in Cinema. This is one of the best Salman films I've enjoyed, you get that real good atmosphere feeling in the cinema. It was a big HIT in UK, we appreciate good filmmaking. I was told it Flopped in India, because of religion (If you see the film, you will understand). Salman wears a Islamic Chain and a Hindu Chain together, there is a reason why he does this, doesn't mean you give the film a Flop, some critics will never learn. Plus i heard not many peolle saw it because of Salman being in trouble with the law during release which is a shame because its much better then most of his future big hits. Although, it was a LITTLE borrowed from Hollywood films Bourne Supremacy and Long Kiss Goodnight. This bollywood version is FAR BETTER in every way. I'm not gonna say, what the film is about, its Best if you see it yourself. The storyline may sound boring, but its not (This is a Movie Genius Review). Salman Khan delivers one of the Best performances of his life. The Very Sexy Sushmita Sen gives a good performance. Diya Mirza looks sexy as ever, kind of a Aishwarya look alike. Great Twist, and some nice songs. Forget some of the critics with no taste giving this a flop, I recommend this.

The movie reminds me of a delicacy with a surprise element(and then what are thrillers for). This is one movie which keeps you engaged with its comical and romantic moments right from the start and puts you entirely at ease in the first half. For those who would be expecting a run of the mill romantic movie, avoid the second half and watch the end. For those who came expecting an action movie as the reviews may have it, the first half is boring and apparently pointless. But the suspense builds up slowly without crying out loud. And all elements in the first half are woven pretty well for the "two halves" to create a decent whole. What I found eye-catching was the way the two elements in the movie were combined. Arguably one of the better Indian movies.

This movie came out when Salman Khan was in the news for all the wrong reasons- Aishwarya Rai break-up, the alleged hit-and-run case etc. In retrospect, all that must have contributed to its dismal performance at the ticket windows, for as a film, Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge, is a quite solid commercial potboiler. It has a good story to tell, some great songs, good looking actresses, and a lead actor in decent form. Inspired (though not copied) from a Hollywood flick, the movie even flirts with that much abused domain of the Mumbai underbelly, a trick that always tends to bring in critical acclaim. Had the first half been tighter and had the Jhonny Lever comic track done away with, the movie could have been at a different level altogether, competing with the best action thrillers of the Hindi film industry. In any case, even in its present form, TNBP is quite an entertaining watch.

Tip: Just fast forward the initial bits and 2-3 songs. Though don't dare miss anything once Salman Khan moves back to the city to unravel his past.

This is one of those movies which either you make your own or you just dislike it. This movie will either impress you and you will remember it or you will not think of it at all. This is the first Bollywood movie I watched and I was 14. Movies are my life I worked for animation department and develop characters for games and movie and still I love this movie. This movie is more about emotional ride and some twist with riddles. I cannot convince you on the technicality of this movie. This means if you have not yet seen it then why not, try it. Watching this movie now will be challenging because it s more then a decade old. You have to lower your expectations and try to feel the 2000s era.
