New Bollywood Director, Anubhav Sinha’s directorial debut, Tum Bin…Tum Bin… is definitely worth your time, your rental, your ticket, especially if you are looking for a nice romantic movie after the past releases of thrillers and intense dramas. Tum Bin… is predominantly a tale of Pia’s (Sandali Sinha) tangled love life. Tangled is the best word to describe her relationships as they are filled with predictable yet twisted turns. Pia lives in Canada, where the film is partially shot, with her intended husband’s family, Amar Shah ( Rakesh Bapat ). The Shah’s are high a class family who run their own industry. Their industry however, is going down hill, and Shekhar Malhotra (Priyanshu Chatterjee) is the only one who manages to save it. Well, not before doing some damage first, see Shekhar is involved in an accident, but it is Amar who gets hurt. Witholding the information on his bad deeds, that were a mistake, Shekhar manages to weasel his way into the family’s heart (Amar’s) and Pia’s heart (that was heartbroken). Enter the next twist, Abhigyan (Himanshu Malik) who falls head over heel for Pia (you’d think he’d fall in love with every other heartbroken business tycoon’s daughter in law to be, after all there are so many)! Ultimately, there are a number of twists, turns, (some that may not seem as all believable or logic) and Pia falling in love with more than one-person, then of course, the climax.
The soundtrack doesn’t only benefit the film; it is definitely worth your attention. Being an expertise in music videos, Sinha makes the visualization of his good songs even better. The highlight in terms of soundtrack is “Daru Virch Pyar” making his debut into Bollywood, Taz from Stereo Nation has recorded and visualised the song to perfection, adding the Punjabi Funk element into the film……foot tapping stuff.
