Phir milenge meeting life again
Characters:
Shilpa shetty as Tamanna Sahani
Salman Khan as Rohit Manchanda
Abhishek Bachan as Tarun
We actually know what Tamanna Sahani (Shilpa Shetty) does for a living. She’s not one of those Ms Rosy/Neeta type coquettes dreaming away behind a dreary typewriter. She’s the creative head of an advertising firm bustling with new-fangled campaign ideas and generating gobs of moolah. Life’s coming up roses for Tamanna and her yuppie set of friends. We also learn that a blast from her past re-enters her life in the form of Rohit (Salman Khan) from the US of A.
But destiny wills otherwise and Tamanna contracts the HIV virus. She informs her boss TJ Subramaniam, who is also a mentor of sorts. To her chagrin, he gives her the pink slip and she’s served a dismissal notice.
Quite easily done? Not quite. Tamanna decides to slug it out in court. And takes on the firm which has chucked her out in a cavalier fashion. After a series of dejections with lawyers who have never handled a HIV client, hope finally floats in the form of Tarun (Abhishek Bachchan) who relents to take on Tamanna’s case. Philadelphia, anyone?
How naïve of the worldly-wise Tamanna not to have known that Rohit was a cad. Also, what was that bit about her writing his phone number on her hand? Didn’t she know that a google search would have helped her to find Rohit anywhere in the world? Yet for whatever missteps the film makes (framing a deeply tragic character study within the auspices of a courtroom drama, for one), its emotions are indelible and its risk-taking is appreciated.
Phir Milenge is important because it demonstrates the devastating effects of an ailment still discussed in hushed tones, capturing the ’’it can’t happen to me’’ attitude and the subsequent, realization that, yes, it can. Highly recommended.
