Can we truly love one person throughout our life and hope that fate makes us meet with the same person in every life of ours?

This story takes us through a journey of eternal love between a couple who have vowed to love each other not only in this life but in every life to follow. Their love is so strong that even destiny wants to bring them together. The story starts in 1960 Bombay with Govind and Ruksar, then moves ahead to present times, 2012 England with Radha and Krish and then goes back in time to Punjab, 1910 with Aradhana and Javed.

Can Javed and Aradhana still be together? Will Ruksar realize that Govind’s feeling for her were genuine? Will Krish be able to clear the misunderstandings?

Will true love prevail? Or will destiny take its course!!!

Coming Soon!

Three Times, that Taiwanese romance Kunal Kohli's Teri Meri Kahaani is speculated to be a remake of, could be compared to three pages of beautiful handmade paper with pressed flowers and subdued fragrance but no writing on them. 

Almost like evocative visual poems that view the passage of romance between two individuals, played by same actors, through three discrete decades. Director Hou Hsiao-Hsien's 2005 film is imbued with reflective quietude and fragile, neglected interactions -- elements Bollywood so famously runs away from.

And so barring this interesting concept of three love stories positioned around similar decades: 1910, 1960 and 2012 (1911, 1966 and 2006 in the original), portrayed by the same set of leading actors, Kohli's confection does not bear any resemblance to the bare, ambient Three Times.

Plot

Two babies, a boy wrapped in a blue blanket (Shahid Kapoor) and a girl wrapped in the pink one (Priyanka Chopra), meet at the hospital, do a bit of gaa-gaa-goo-goo (baby talk) and you know instantly (thanks to films like Khushi) that these babies are destined to be together when they grow-up.

It is 1960 and Govind wants to come to the dreamland Mumbai (then Bombay) to realize his dreams of becoming a singer/musician. On his way, fate helps him bump into Rukhsar, a famous film actress and they both fall in love.

In 2012, Krish and Radha bump into each other in England and just a single night spent together brings them the true love of which everyone dreams.

Call it fate, co-incidence or rebirth but Javed and Aradhana are destined to fall for each other head-over-heels, even in 1916.

No points for guessing that all the three characters in different ages are Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra; the tiny little babies who once connected at the hospital. Like every love story, their love stories also have to pass the tough tests and heartbreaks but eventually they have to meet (as a Bollywood rule). Thankfully, there are no past-life revelations and dangerous confrontations. Everything turns out to be pretty fathomable. The love stories are predictable but still if you want to know in detail and try and feel the “love-in-the-air”, then watch the movie to find out more.

Performances

Shahid Kapoor doesn't disappoint but one expects more from the talented actor. Priyanka Chopra is overtly expressive at times. One could blame their average acts or latent chemistry to the mediocre script. From the three stories, both get better scope in the pre-independent era episode but that's not saying much when they could have been thrice as good. Prachi Desai and Neha Sharma do not get much scope.

Overall

Teri Meri Kahaani doesn’t work despite potential in the premise. It feels soulless and superficial, and is unlikely to find many fans. Waiting for its television premier would be a wiser choice to catch this kahaani.

Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor have reunited on screen for Teri Meri Kahaani and Sajid-Wajid have provided a perfect musical base for their story by churning out a soundtrack that has a youthful fervour. It grows on you. And with Prasoon Joshi penning the lyrics, the album manages to capture the essence of three different periods on which the film is premised.

The album kicks off with "Mukhtasar". Crooned by the Wajid himself, the song is a showstopper in its own right. A beautiful romantic number, it is very soothing and reminds you of the spring season when everything looks so cheerful. Coupled with catchy beats, the song has already topped the charts and will continue to rule the music scene for quite a long time.

It also has a remix version by DJ Suketu, which will surely be a hit at clubs and click with the lovebirds, thanks to its catchy beats and mushy feel.

Next one is titled "Alla jaane" and is a characteristic Rahat Fateh Ali Khan song, which charms you with its poignant touch and Sufi elements. The song lets you relax and is a perfect number to listen to after a tiring day. Prasoon Joshi has struck the right note with the lyrics, which is well supported by convincing composition

Next up is "Jabse mere dil ko uff', which instantly makes you groove with its retro tone and is reminiscent of the musical style of yesteryears. The amazing vocal combination of Sonu Niigaam and Sunidhi Chauhan has enhanced the song's tempo and it manages to lift your mood.

"Humse pyaar kar le tu" is an out and out dance number with a desi feel and Wajid has given flawless treatment to the song with his vocals. He has been well supported by Mika, Shabir Bro and Shreya Ghosal. Their voices blend with ease and the harmonium playing in the track transports you into a different era altogether.

This one too has a remix version with lot of techno beats but one prefers to stick with the original. It is not bad but could have been given a better treatment like the "Mukhtaar" remix.

It is followed by "That's all I really wanna do", which brings you back into the present, thanks to modern puppy love feel to it. It has a potential to connect with youth and the composition also uses certain tones from "Mukhtasar". The duet has Shaan and Shreya coming together and they manage to hold your attention.

All and all, the soundtrack manages achieve the goal - it captures the mood of three different periods. Sajid-Wajid, who have made a name mostly through peppy numbers, give us a mix of different musical styles, showing that they are versatile and can satisfy your musical appetite in more than one way.
