After being put off by watching Salman’s hair in promos, I put off watching this movie for a year!! What a mistake..
Tere Naam was one of the most enjoyable movies of recent times.. and I have gone from a Salman hater to Salman tolerator..
What an unexpectedly amazing performance. Salman’s potryal of an emotionally tormented lover was without a doubt his best work thus far. There are certain scenes( like after he kidnaps bhomika) where his desperation, pain and helplessness is almost palpable. He certainily seems to have tapped into some hitherto unseen reserves of acting talent to come up with his performance. Or maybe he just channeled the demons from his personal life.
And the hair, ah the hair.. I actually liked it ( after I got over the initial annoyance). I think it is gutsy of Salman to actually look THAT different from his usual choclate boy looks. It fit in with his rebellious, good for nothing character.
Bhoomika was a perfect foil for Salman. I could totally buy why Salman’s characer would fall for her.They h ad GREAT onscreen chemistry.
I think the friendship shown between Salman’s group of friends was very real too.. nothing saccharine about it.
I loved the story /screenplay and direction. Definitely ’’ zara hatke’’
Add in the awesome soundtrack, all in all, 3 hours well spent.
Thats all I want in my bollywood!
