Tere Naam

Happened to watch this movie when it was aired on TV.

Normally I pass off Salman as a spoilt-brat of Bollywood with no talent what-so-ever except for penchant for showing off his well-tones muscles. But Tere Naam proves otherwise, and hey guys - this dude can really act.

Salman get into the skin of the character as rebellious aimless youth who frequently gets involved in dog-fights. He meets Bhumika Chawla and immediately falls for her demure innocent nature. The rest of the movie is tale of their love and what future had in store for them.

The story is pretty good and manages to captivate the interest of the audience. A few coincidences and mishaps shown could have been done away with.

Friendship between Salman and his friends is quite natural and remind you of your bunch of friends during college/ hostel days.

Salman has done commendable job in emotional scenes which make you wonder if he was really acting or being one-self. Sachin Khedekar delivers a good performance. Bhumika Chawla suits the role to the "T" playing the girl next door hailing from higher caste.

The beliefs, life-style, the dogma and the hypocrisy of the higher caste is portrayed with substantial element of reality.

Songs are quite hummable.

The hype of being a true story of Salman-Aishwarya was just a publicity gimmick, otherwise the movie is a remake of Tamil film Sethu.

A commercial movie with tones of parallel cinema.

This movie is about what love can do to you: drive you crazy, drive you mad, drive you to change your life around.

I had never been a big Salman Kahn fan, but this movie definitely proves he can act.

The movie revolves around the effect a priest's daughter has on the local thug around town.

There are some really beautiful moments, the best being towards the end of the film. The music is wonderful and Udit's beautiful voice is haunting, especially in the song Tere Naam (Sad).

Definitely check this movie out. You won't be disappointed.

Salman is impressive in an out of character performance, but this might be the most depressing Hindi film I've ever seen. Makes Veer-Zaara seem absolutely jovial. However, it is definitely worth viewing, the songs are excellent, great cinematography and a powerful performance by Salman Khan. 8 out of 10

On the DVD case, under the title, it states, "Unfortunately based on a true-story" but at the end of the movie the typical disclaimer appears stating, "all of the depicted events are fictitious and not based on any real person living or dead etcetera…. . . .

This film tells one of the best love stories of the decade, and it is great just because of the story. I'll start off with the performances.

Salman Khan is awesome; his role in this movie is perfect for him. He, as others have said, proves his acting ability to any doubters. He actually proved it in his debut role in Maine Pyar Kiya (1989) for which he won filmfare best male debut and was nominated at the same time for filmfare best actor. The film introduces Bhoomika Chawla who gives a solid performance in this movie - so solid that one would be surprised that she didn't achieve more after this film. Actors in supporting roles also did a great job in making this a great film.

The film's music is great; hats off to Himesh Reshammiya. I can't say which are the best tracks because they're all good.

Verdict: don't miss this one; they don't make films like this anymore. I give it 9.5/10

This is a kind of movie bollywood needs to make more often. Everything about this movie is just outstanding. Its an excellent story about a spoiled guy who falls in love with a very innocent girl and how this relationship changes him and their lives. This might sound like 100's of other stories out there but it isn't. This is a story for a mature and sensible people. It will touch your heart just right. Actors have done a great job too. Salman Khan has never acted this good and Bhoomika Chawla innocent face suits her role perfectly. I would really recommend everyone to watch this movie. Thanks
