Tara vs Bilal

I thought there was a lot wrong with this film from the standpoint of the filmmaking - a lot of bad lighting, continuity errors, the irritating left to right camera angles and some places in the plot line that simply made no sense - but that said, I also found a great deal to appreciate.

The leads, Harshvardhan Rane and Sonia Rathee, were most engaging and the talented supporting actors added a lot of texture to what would otherwise have been a very ordinary tale. The established relationships that underpinned the eventual outcome were sensitively portrayed. I especially liked the Khan women and the friendship that existed between Bilal and Jiggy, two very different men. Raheem Mir as Ritz deserves a nod here too.

As a great fan of Indian romantic films, I had a delightful evening watching this one.

I really enjoyed watching this movie. Such a light hearted romcom. Great chemistry between Rane and Rathee. I think Harshvardhan is an underrated actor, he is so good, he deserves more recognition. I was impressed with the British accent, he did it so well. Movies like this should get more recognition and screen time. I watched it on Netflix, but hadn't heard of it as I hadn't seen any trailers. Very well directed and filmed in London. Great entertainment and decent storyline with more to it other than just the love story element. I'll definately watch the movie again. Oh I do love a good bollywood romcom!!

I'm currently watching this on Netflix and while the base concept it great and the lead actress- the actor playing Bilal is just terrible! I'm not sure what's worse- his over the top hair, the inconsistent British accent that obviously switches to huge Indian accent or the general over acting?

Having said that I'm still enjoying this and hope to see more from this director & writing team and the lead actress cast- she has such a Nargis Fakri vibe but with better acting!! Ha!

On a separate note the look/ feel of this movie with use of natural lighting and soft colour colour grading is a welcome change to the sea of psychedelic Karan Johar colours occupying Bollywood right now.

A woman ditched by her husband in London opts for a fake marriage to return her country ultimately falling for him. This is the plot of this simple romantic comedy, which somewhat reminded me of Kangana Ranaut's "Queen." Perhaps it's one of the most underrated movies of the recent time, which has surprisgly garnered a low rating in imdb.

Believe me, it's not a kind of larger than life movie which will set history; but it's still an enjoyable film without a second of boredom, just like the light Hollywood entertainers "My Fat Greek Wedding" or "Nurse Betty." The non star cast gives a feeling of a TV movie but is nevertheless refreshing. The greatest virtue of the film is the refreshing camerawork and sound which superbly depicts the cityscape of modern London, for which I wished I had watched in it a theatre.

Rating: 2 stars out of 4.

It's romantic movie, and we have definitely seen this kind of film in the past. Well all Indian romantic movies are similar. But what I liked in this movie is the very natural acting by new comer Sonia Rathee. Her hindi and dialogue delivery style is quite natural. Harshavardhan Rane did pretty well too so all the supporting cast.

Set in London suburbs, the spoken Hindi/Urdu mixed with Brit slang was perfect. Otherwise I have watched many bollywood movies, where the movie filmed in England with actors speaking American English.

I haven't found a single boring scene and completed this movie in Single Sitting rather than watching it over few days (as I do most of the bollywood movies).

It's refreshing, feel good movie. Watch it definitely.
