Tum
Milo Toh Sahi- a Kabir Sadanand directorial
looked very interesting. The innovative
and good looking creatives added to its
curiosity and to top it all Nana Patekar
and Dimple Kapadia in the lead role. But
some movies cannot be saved by actors
alone.
Three parallel stories, converging in
a coffee place might sound somewhat similar
to the 2 week old Love Sex aur Dhoka but
this is no masterpiece. Three parallel
stories of love get entangled in the survival
of an old coffee shop. Of the six main
characters, one betrays trust of friends
and family to get rich, one loses all
hope and the rest of the four tries to
fight for the shop. But buried secrets
have to be dug out to save the 75 year
old shop. Can the coffee house survive?
Kabir Sadanand does show improvement from
his previous attempt wielding the gramophone
but yet the movie is far from what it
could have been. The

first half is slow and the second half is even slower.
Nana Patekar's and Dimple's story is easily the lifeline
of the movie and the other two stories are boring
and uninteresting especially the young love story.
Scenes where Dimple is given an offer by Sunil is
real powerful and Dimple's histrionics in the scene
is praiseworthy. Songs crops up without reasoning
and the item song by Tanisha is not needed. The climax
is a big let down as it lets out the twist so easily.
The movie boasts of an utterly simple cinematography,
a medium musical score and a below average editing.
The movie has an atrociously silly background score
which worsen the movie going experience to a large
extent.
Nana Patekar and Dimple Kapadia easily carry the movie
on their able shoulder with some inspiring performances.
But neither Nana Patekar, who acts as a Tamil Brahmin
mouths Tamil fluently nor does Dimple able to naturally
mouth the Goan Hindi. Vidya Malvade looks ravishing
and does a pretty good job but Sunil Shetty falls
flat with a mediocre performance. Rehan is natural
and is instantly likable. Anjana impresses with her
attitude more than her acting. Mohnish Behl overacts.
Others in the cast have little to do but nothing terrific
or harming to specify.
A movie which boasts of several amazing talents fails
to impress because of its hackneyed screenplay. If
you are a hardcore Nana Patekar or Dimple's Fan you
would not be disappointed but that being so less a
population the movie can be welcomed with empty theatres
leading to a fast entry in the DVD counters.
Verdict:
Superlative Nana and Dimple try in vain to bank a
sinking ship
