FEBRUARY 2016 - Movie Of The Month



During the month of February 2016, the film that stood out for me the most was Sanam Teri Kasam as this film managed to reveal all the right cords for a modern love story. The movie showcased a bit of everything, love, hurt, sadness and tragedy. The film is directed and written by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, starring Mawra Hocane and Harshvardhan Rane in the lead roles.

The story becomes a cycle, when a religious family see their daughter Saru (played by Mawra Hocane) with a gangster Inder (played by Harshvardhan Rane) living in the same apartment block. This causes the parents to break all relationships with Saru who is heartbroken as nobody wants to marry her, as she is not the typical modern type of girl. Inder helps turn her fortunes around but even their fascinating love story has to come to an end one-way or the other.

What I liked about this film is that these actors looked so natural in their respective roles, making this film look realistic especially with the strong subject matter being engaging.  A very dramatic storyline placing obstacles in front of love, but the film shows to never give up despite the film never getting a happy ending.

The cast performed well in keeping you on a standstill focusing directly to the film and not drifting away. The biggest highlight from this would be the performances delivered by the actors, being on screen made it seem as if this is not a movie but a daily life of two people whom face cultural beliefs and parental authority as a struggle. It is very convincing; Mawra does great in being the not-so-glamorous girl in society, but yet showing courage to become something to help make her parents happy. Harshvardhan delivers strong expressions perfectly and at the right time. Nothing was over the top by these two and that was notable throughout the film.


I highly recommend this film as a must watch. The music is brilliant, the acting was fantastic and the storyline is impressive. The social message is important in this one and shows how one deal with such society and strict parental issues.
