Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya

Liked her acting big time. Bubbly and spontaneous.

Story was crappy and so was the acting from rest of the cast.

Her facial expressions reminded me of Sonali Kulkarni and Renuka Shahane from yesterday years.

As someone commented in an earlier post, she will go a long way in Bollywood with the right director(s)

Hope to see high quality movies with Genelia in the lead.

She should choose good roles and avoid crappy stories like in this movie

Wish her all the best

Simple, sweet and funny! It has all the ingredients of a super-hit romantic movie. Watching the comic antics of Genelia reminds me of the ever bubbly Juhi Chawla who made us laugh for more than a decade. Wonderful performances by everyone involved (Wish the south-Indian minister had more lines). Beautiful music, not overdone dialogues and a simple story which are so welcome. And of course, the icing on the cake are the songs by Atif Aslam and watching him perform at the end of the movie. You will fall in love with the newly wed couple, Genelia and Ritesh. You can feel that they had as much fun making the movie as we had seeing it. Can't wait for the DVD to be released.

Great first solo movie by Ritesh & Genelia Deshmukh Good acting by Ritesh & Genelia Looking a real life couple First half of movie is good but second half is too good Specially after om puri entry movie looks good. All actor acted very well. Picturisation is good specially hariyna shown looking something different as i think i saw lots of movies picturised in out of India. The best alternative that the film chooses, however, is having Genelia D'Souza play the free-spirited girl over the over-exploited Kareenas and Katrinas that the genre has often seen. Genelia not only brings freshness to the genre but her camaraderie with Riteish Deshmukh is at full throttle as compared to all their earlier outings.

The film primarily works thanks to the convincing chemistry and performances by the lead pair. Riteish Deshmukh is resourcefully restrained, perfectly poised and, needless to say, his comic timing is impeccable. At the same time he allows Genelia to take lead as the film largely revolves around her character. And Genelia does complete justice to her meaty role with a refreshing and dynamic act. Her cute looks and electrifying smile add to her appeal. From the character cast, Om Puri gets the best lines and induces frequent laughter. Veena Malik's item number was avoidable.

Specially music is different & good.

I think is must watch one time movie.

When we hear the word, "Tere Naal Love Ho gaya" the only thing that comes in our mind is a romantic movie, where the couple falls in love with each other and pass all the differences that come in their love life and live happily ever after. The best thing in this movie is that it's not one of a "cheesy,romantic and predictable" movie. It highlights each and every situation gradually. The romance between Viren ( Riteish) and Mini ( Genelia) has been shown as a gradual process. They mutually understands that they are in love with each other and the story goes on with that.

The acting and the comic timing of both the actor is a double plus point. Both of them have done 100% justice to their roles being it to romance, comedy, thriller or fighting their emotions. After their film "Tujhe Meri Kasam" these two have proved that they are one of those pairs who were never being hyped up but once they are asked to act together they can take their level of romance to a completely different level.

The songs in this movie adds a major plus point. Being the movie starting from "Jeene de" then "Pee pa pee pa ho gaya", "Tu muhaabat hain", "piya o re piya", ""Fan ban gayi". The soundtrack is fully awesome and one can listen to all the songs on repeat mode for any number of times. It adds on to the film and make it worth watching.

Some scenes have been highlight to the movie being it " Mini seducing the petrol pump owner" to "Druken Scene" to "Introduction of Viren's family". Everything was just awesome and worth watching. The other actors apart from riteish and genelia, has given equivalent amount of weightage to the movie. All the actors and the scenes have been placed beautifully and thus makes the movie a MUST WACTH!!

Awesome and excellent movie.

During the seventies and early eighties, amidst several action-dominated flicks, the Hindi cinema intermittently presented low budget, neat and clean and simple movies too which provided light and rib-tickling entertainment and could be watched by a whole family together. Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee were flag-bearers of this kind of cinema which had developed its own audience and that's why such movies were though not blockbusters, able to recover that cost and minimum profit. It was that stream of the mainstream Indian cinema which had an identity of its own. Anand, Piya Ka Ghar, Baawarchi, Chhoti Si Baat, Chupke Chupke, Khatta Meetha, Golmaal, Baaton Baaton Mein, Khoobsurat, Naram Garam, Hamaari Bahu Alka, Kisi Se Na Kehna, Rang Birangi, Jhoothi etc. Were amidst the simple yet high quality movies served by these two directors, containing a bit of lovely romance and healthy laughs for the Indian families.

Times change. Just like in the life of any individual or the society at large, phases come and go in cinema too. These stalwarts grew old and stopped directing movies and with that the phase of healthy, clean, low-budget comedies also waned. In 2010, the success of an excellent comedy - Atithi Tum Kab Jaaoge provided a feeling that the bygone era of Hrishi Da and Basu Da could be back. There's an audience to welcome such movies if well-made. And then in 2012, a newcomer director, Mandeep Singh came up with a movie - Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya which though does not live up to the standard of Atithi Tum Kab Jaaoge, yet it's a decent movie which can be termed as a romance enveloped in comedy.

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya (fallen in love with you) is a Punjabi title chosen for a Hindi movie being the words of a song of this movie. It is a movie which starts as a pure comedy and later focuses on romance. Autorickshaw driver, Viren (Ritesh) is in very low spirits when the owner of the autorickshaw, Bhatti (Tinu Anand) sells it and alongwith that the savings of Viren that he had hidden in that autorickshaw are also gone. He suspects that Bhatti had usurped his money before giving away the autorickshaw. Being meek by nature, he reaches Bhatti's house in an intoxicated state to fight with him and get his money back. The engagement ceremony of Bhatti's daughter, Mini (Genelia) is taking place at that hour who sees a golden opportunity in this event to run away from an unwanted marriage. She runs away from there with Viren, showing to the eye-witnesses as if Viren has kidnapped her. To the world, Viren is the kidnapper and Mini is the kidnapped but the reality is vice versa. Now starts the adventurous journey of this duo which is destined to become a couple in due course of time and during this journey, they arrange ample laughing and tickling moments for the audience watching them on the screen.

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya renders much more entertainment in the first half than in its second half when the story lands up in Viren's own family. Since Viren and Mini get more screen time together in the first half, they are able to entertain the audience better with the skilfully penned script. The second half is less entertaining with family life, relationships and ethical issues intervening. Still the sequence of kidnapping of a foreigner in this half is quite hilarious. The climax is typically Bollywoodish with the expected reunion of the kidnapper and the kidnapped (it's difficult to decide now who's who) who have become lovers in their hearts.

Despite satisfactorily written comic script and good direction, I will not term Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya as some great comedy movie. The item song of Veena Malik has been unnecessarily forced into the second half which mars the simplicity and decency of the movie. Besides, the writer could not think of many amusing incidents for the later half and sentimental twists have been inserted to move the narrative and fill the time duration before the climax arrives. However, the movie does not bore. The dialogues are also in sync with the script. Though the movie is sans any vulgarity, the director could still have done better and kept it thoroughly 'vegetarian'.

The movie has some ethics-linked discussion too. Though I feel from the talks of the hero's father (Om Puri) and sister (Chitrashee Rawat) that we, the Indians, have mastered the art of justifying all our wrongdoings through decorative but hollow logics, still when it's said that the sister steals because she wanted to become a magician but could not become and now vents out her frustration by demonstrating this art of the hand (Haath Ki Safaai), the argument has some merit. Many talented youths resort to the wrong path because they do not get a right path to channelize their talent and energy. And the father's speech to his son in the pre-climax scene, defining a coward and inspiring the son to shed his cowardice and shoulder responsibility is just superb.

This movie does not boast of foreign locations, costly sets and costumes and a high production value but the simplicity in the life of an autorickshaw-driver in Delhi is heart-winning and the greenery in the fields of Haryana is eye-soothing. The art-director and the cinematographer have done their parts well. Other technical aspects are also in order.

Music is another plus point of this movie. The melodious songs composed by Sachin-Jigar containing the beautiful lyrics penned by Mayur Puri and Priya Panchal are like oasis in the desert of today's Indian cinema where it is fast becoming difficult to differentiate between music and noise. Songs like Main Waari Jaawaan, Tu Mohabbat Hai, Jeene De and Main Pee Pa Pee Pa Ho Gaya are ear soothing, eye soothing and heart soothing at the same time. Only the item song picturized on Veena Malik is not in line with the mood of the movie and should have been dispensed with.

Ritesh and Genelia have tied the sacred knot in their real life and hence their reel life chemistry has got positively affected by their real life love. Both have done exceedingly well. Where normalcy is required, they are normal and where over-the-top performances are required, they again fit the bill. All others have supported them perfectly.

Summing up, Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya may not be some great or unforgettable movie but it's like a gust of fresh air in the suffocated environment of formula-based and big-budget Bollywood movies containing more style and less substance. If you are fond of watching the golden oldies (of rom-com genre) of Hrishi Da and Basu Da, this movie is the right choice for you.
