Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge

TNBP was another post-2000 release in Salman's career that had a short venture at the box-office. Although the movie is not AS bad as its box-office fairing would say, but its hardly any great shakes either.

TNBP can be broken down in two parts: 1) The first half shows Salman's dull life with his parents in a village where he visualizes weird things abt his past every now and then. 2) In the 2nd half u see Salman out in search to piece together who he used to be as he slowly gains his memory back.

The pros to me were definitely the well directed action scenes that mostly involved Salman Khan - whose at his best when he's beating up the gundas here. Other positives were a couple of twists in the story that def. caught me by surprise and kept me interested till the very end. One thing is for sure, once the initial twist occurs b4 the intermission, TNBP will keep u glued to the screen till the end.

Cons:

• Most of the first half is just plain boring cuz nothing happens other then some lame jokes and actors looking bad while trying to speak in their village's accent.

• The cinematography has a dry feel to it throughout which makes the mood of the film appear quite dull. U can obviously tell not a lot of money was spent on this movie.

• The songs only happen to be unnecessary stop gaps.

Other then that, i would say TNBP is a decent movie that's worth a watch once for Salman's presence and some interesting twists in the storyline.

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.

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.

Lets start off with the cast. Salman Khan is great as usual, and nothing more needs to be said about him. Dia Mirza is good in her role as is Sushmita Sen. Sharat Saxena and Rajpal Yadav are also good. It has something for everyone: romance (a lot), action ( a lot), humour (some) and good music. The story is great and is complemented by great action. The music is fabulous. Clearly, Sajid-Wajid have done a good job. The tracks 'Bindiya chamke','Mehndi hai lagi' and 'Yeh bekhudi'are the ones that stand out. The cinematography's good and so is the editing. Definitely Pankaj Parashar's best movie.

Verdict: A must watch. I give it 9.5/10

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.
