Three love stories set in three different eras; all of which go through the inevitable love-cycle of hook-up, heartbreak, separation and reunion.
Three love stories set in three different eras; all of which go through the inevitable love-cycle of hook-up, heartbreak, separation and reunion.
Love is being revisited in three different acts, in true Shakespearean style. Like this prem kahaani that yawns all the way from Lahore to London. Struggling to bloom under the austere eyes of Brit-ruled India (1910); doing the 'twist' in Bollywood's golden era (1960), to digital love-chats in the 'like', 'poke' and 'share' (read: Facebook) generation (2012). But thankfully, this is not about janam-janam ka dangerous love, rebirth or reincarnation; it's actually three love stories, blossoming in three different time periods.
Narrated in story-book style, it opens with Ruksar's (Priyanka) - a Filmfare covergirl and superstar of the 60s' - perchance meeting with Govind (Shahid), a struggling musician. In Chaplinesque style. Against an obvious studio backdrop of old Mumbai - with its quaint charm, and not-so-bustling life (trams, BEST buses, Britannia Guest House, Maratha Mandir theater, hand-painted movie posters, tunes of Ai dil hai mushkil) they fall in love, even as a curious, comical journo (one-man-paparazzi) clicks them all the way. Time to fast-forward.
Welcome 2012: In Queen's land (UK). The hip, easy-going Krish (Shahid again), breaks-up, on his birthday, with his girlfriend in the morning; to find love in Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare's birthplace) by midnight, with the free-spirited Radha (PC again). Not surprisingly, this Romeo-Juliet jodi share a wi-fi romance (flirting, wooing and dating happens via BBM, SMS, FB and iPads), but suddenly, there's a technical glitch that even the 'Ctrl+Alt+Del' command can't fix. Oops! Let's rewind now.
It's 1910 and we're in Sargoda, Lahore. Javed (Hello again Shahid), is a random Romeo who seduces with shayari, and believes in azaadi (of heart over hinterland). He meets Aaradhana (any guesses who?), daughter of a freedom fighter, who transforms him from prem-pujari to patriot.
This isn't the first time Priyanka Chopra has played multiple characters in a one movie, but in this one she doesn't change much through eras and expressions (other than her wardrobe). She blushes coyly throughout, engages in verbal banter with her counterpart-of-centuries and breezes through her role(s), showing little intensity. Of course, she's her natural, bubbly self as always, but not quite as amazing as you want her to be.
Shahid Kapoor is best as the badnaam shayar Javed. He uses his boyish charm effectively, dancing like the wind (in Uff and Humse Pyar Karle Tu), and cheekily winning women in every janam. Shahid seduces the audience with his style and shayari, sparking life into this cliche-riddled kahaani.
Kunal Kohli, in an attempt to create a large canvas to paint this love-story - (using centuries, barriers of cultures, castes, customs and costumes) - simply doesn't make the crossover (to the audiences, that is). Even with a powerhouse of talent; the script lacks depth and fails to ignite enough passion or chemistry for a love story. It's not devoid of romance, cutesy conversations and sweet-somethings; but there are no highs, lows, conflicts or complications that make you gush, or give you gooseflesh.
To put it simply, this story is - Boy meets girl. Period. Boy meets girl. Period. And boy meets girl. Period...

"Teri Meri Kahanni" is an example of a failed concept and pathetic experimentation with a illogical storyline. We have already seen movies like "Dangerous Ishq" based on similar formula of many generations failing miserably at the box office. The movie had two affirmatives-Shahid Kapoor and music. Priyanka Chopra was useless like always and Kunal Kohli makes Cinema lovers rethink if he had only directed movies like "Fanaa". It's D-time for Shahid Kapoor now and he should work on good script if wants to survive amongst other Kapoors and the Khan-dan.

It's a refreshing movie with breezy romance, emotions and feather touch comedy. Priyanka is effortlessly mesmerising, shahid is charming. Their chemistry is sizzling.The three eras of love are portrayed brilliantly. Watch out for the moment when priyanka brilliantly shows dispair and smile simultaneouly. Superb performances. Must watch.

Descent watch, 1st half works less of dialogues but fun. Shahid has done a good work.Priyanka well surgeries can hav unwanted results poor acting jus punjabi grl she has managed to deliver others are waste. 3 eras of movie are pretty good one will not feel bored but end is same bollywood style Happy ending. if every time they have to patch why three different stories. songs are poor nothing classic to watch. Time pass worked for my money ***

Will someone seriously tell me whether 'Rakhtbeej' is really a Hindi film after all or has it been dubbed from a Bhojpuri pot-boiler? Apart from a busty and saucy RAKHI SAWANT doing an erotic item number that has a top spinning in her tummy,the only known faces come in the supporting cast be it RAJESH KHATTAR(who's only claim to fame seems to be that he is SHAHID KAPUR's step father) or TINU ANAND them apart even a Google search makes it tough to dig out any information on the lead pair or those that surround them!!! Assuming the leading pair is making their Bollywood debut, it is rather fool-hardy for the hero to actually essay a double role when he can hardly do justice to none... The only thing I really loved truly loved about Rakthbeej is that the hero playing the CEO of a telecom empire comes up wid a genius offer to get a tender when he actually bids at 0 paisa per minute(yeah you heard it right)..I almost expected ABHISHEK BACHCHAN to wave out and yell,"What an (3G) Idea Sirjee!!!" All said and done Rakthbeej is a collector's item film because it cud well be the first and last film for most of the cast!!!"

cheap ,stupid and paid reviewer of Times of India? the worst movie of the decade, better learn from the Hindu newspapers reviewer how to review a movie, so truthful and genuine. TIO reviewers are the worst one even the most masala movies and movies of so called heroes gets 3 or 4 or 5 star, shame on you. james raaj chennai

Ok story. Crappy dialogues and average acting. This could have been made into a really good movie but it was so predictable story line. The 2012 part is the worst. The 1960 and 1910 (or whatever) were still watchable.

The storyline is good but badly mixed and lost continuation. The end is predictable and very much stereotyped. The actors performed well but no wonder Shahid and Priyanka failed to make a spell on the viewers. Starts of with good fun but then becomes burden. Not recommended.
