Tere Mere Phere

Review:
It is an interesting relatable premise grievously marred by extremely loud and uncontrolled performances by actors, aided and abetted by incompetent direction. This could have been an enjoyable romcom about love and marriage.

Tere Mere Phere movie

Story:
The film is about an annoying man Rahul (Jagrat Desai) and his equally annoying wife Pooja (Sasha Goradia). The movie starts when the two board a flight from a small town to Shimla to get back from their honeymoon after a huge fight. They start fighting in the plane due to which the fight gets back to its origin and then the duo is hacked by a man Jai (Vinay Pathak) to drive him to Shimla. Then starts the flashback of how the two married and why are they having a hard time with each other.

Analysis:
The film is definitely not fit in the age of commercial entertainers that are made by today’s film makers. Even a few films made in the 90s were better than this one. Yes it does has its moment of fun in terms of a few dialogues that manage to create giggles. But rest it is plain irritating because of the lead couple keeps whining as if they have no other job. The first half is totally over the top whereas the second half shows some improvement only to disappoint at the end.

Performances:
Vinay Pathak tries his best to give what he has but is let down by a mediocre screenplay. Riya Sen shows much improvement. What is nice is that now she can speak. Sasha Goradia is too loud but shows potential whereas Jagrat Desai who has co-written the story with Deepa Sahi is plain average. In some scenes he manages to act but those scenes are very few.

Technicalities:
Music further adds to the misery of screenplay, as it is intolerable. Cinematography is the saving grace as it beautifully captures the locales of the HP. The dialogues are again boring. Editing, too takes a toll on the movie.

Conclusion:
‘It’s a delightful take on a very serious subject. The script is simple yet crazy; the film is adventurous and very funny! It is a film for all those young at heart who are married, un-married, much married or just thinking of marriage’

Film: “Tere Mere Phere”
Cast: Vinay Pathak, Riya Sen, Jagrat Desai and Sasha Goradia
Director: Deepa Sahi
Rating: 

Though comedy has grown into a lush genre over the years, few directors in India have mastered the art of relaying it on celluloid. “Tere Mere Phere” is an earnest endeavour by actress turned director Deepa Sahi.

“Tere Mere Phere” is not only a romantic comedy, it is a black comedy, slapstick comedy, satire, comedy of manners, screwball comedy — all rolled in one. Deepa’s attempt to weave in every sub-genre of comedy is probably the nemesis of the movie.

The premise of this film is about compatibility in a marriage. The story revolves around two couples – Rahul and Pooja (Jagrat Desai and Sasha Goradia) and Jai and Muskaan (Vinay Pathak and Riya Sen). Their lives get intertwined by fate.

A squabbling Rahul and Pooja are on their way to Shimla by flight. They are on the verge of splitting after three days of honeymooning in a motor home, travelling in Himachal.

But the aborted landing of their aircraft takes them back to their incomplete honeymoon with Jai for company. Jai is desperate to meet his sweetheart Muskaan, who would be forcibly married by her brother to some other bloke.

The narration slips in and out of numerous cantankerous moments of flashbacks to reveal to a lovelorn Jai as to why they (Rahul and Pooja) are bickering all the time. By the end of it, Jai is convinced, by watching Rahul and Pooja, that familiarity breeds contempt.

He decides that marriage is not for him. He makes a decision to desert his waiting Muskaan. Roles reverse with the climax culminating at the hilarious fast forward wedding of Jai and Muskaan.

The scuffle in the aircraft cabin with force fed humour sets the tone of the film for a mediocre fare. The scenes that follow seem substandard and clumsy. With no detailing done, the characters seem to be shallow.

The plot has no major inciting moments and with screechy loud dialogues like – “Tum kya Eskimo thi?”, “Tum kya chipkali ho?” and “You are queen of Main Main”, “No you are king of che chee”. The script along with the dialogues seems to be the weakest point of the film.

The film belongs to the newcomers Jagat Desai and Sasha Goradia. For first timers, they exude confidence. Sushmita Mukherjee as Rahul’s overbearing mother is convincing. Riya Sen with a naturally poker face and sing song expressionless dialogue delivery is a bad choice for a comedy film.

Vinay Patak is wasted as he hardly has anything to do in the film.

On the other hand, the verdant Himalayan terrain is beautifully captured by cinematographer Christo Bakalov. The film has been shot in beautiful and unusual parts of Himachal, especially in the newly opened Kinnaur Valley. The climax of the film has been shot at Hatu Peak and Jhamunda (near Tethys Resort, Narkanda).

The music by Shivangi R. Kashyap is nothing to write home about.

The first half of the film is just tolerable. The second half has its moments of extreme comedy. The end is equally disappointing leaving the viewers wondering as to why you wanted to witness this meaningless marriage.
