Even Anupam Kher’s Stellar Performance Can’t Rescue ‘Tumko Meri Kasam’ from its Identity Crisis | Bollywood

Yeh lo ji, Bollywood ka naya masala! Tumko Meri Kasam is here to confuse us more than any saas-bahu saga ever could. With a sprinkle of everything but mastery in nothing, this film is a dhobi ghat of genres. Dive into this whirlpool with me, Khabree Kiran, as we unravel this Bollywood bhel puri! 🍿

Tumko Meri Kasam
Cast: Anupam Kher, Adah Sharma, Ishwak Singh, Esha Deol
Director: Vikram Bhatt
Rating: ★★.5

Oh Bollywood, tumhari kasam, what’s going on here? Tumko Meri Kasam is like that overstuffed thali where you can’t decide which dish to try first, and by the end, you’re just overwhelmed. Dr. Ajay Murdia (played by the all-knowing Anupam Kher) is the man of the hour, struggling to establish Indira IVF with his wife, Indira (Adah Sharma). The movie time-travels more than a sci-fi thriller, oscillating between past and present, but all it really does is test your patience. 🕰️

Vikram Bhatt, kya yaar, you’ve tangled us in an endless jaal of love stories and legal battles. The chemistry between Ajay and Indira is as exciting as a cup of chai without adrak. And let’s not even get started on the editing; Kuldip Mehan, were you napping? 😴

As the second half crawls in like a tortoise on a lazy Sunday, we finally see some action. Anupam Kher, as usual, is the show-stealer, bringing his A-game even to a script that seems to have been drafted in a hurry. Adah Sharma and Ishwak Singh, the younger avatars of Ajay and Indira, have their moments but are let down by the script. Adah, beta, you need to up your game in those critical scenes. 🙈

And what about the supporting cast? Meherrzan B Mazda as the villain and Esha Deol as the lawyer—both seem like they’re there only to fill the screen time. By the climax, Anupam takes over the courtroom drama himself. Matlab, Esha, tumhara kya kaam tha phir? 🤷‍♀️

Kya kahoon yaar, Tumko Meri Kasam is like that friend who promises you a party but ends up giving you a PowerPoint presentation. Even die-hard Anupam fans might end up checking their watches, kasam se. ⏰

Kiran’s Gyan:
Bollywood, yeh kya kar rahe ho? Instead of mixing everything like a confused chef, try sticking to one flavor and perfecting it. After all, a good biryani doesn’t need to be a salad, na? 🍛

Remember, in the world of Bollywood, less is more, unless you’re talking about sequins! ✨
