“Hook-up culture mein 90s jaisa love story dhund rahi hoon,” says Ananya Panday’s Rumi. To quite an extent, that’s what Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (TMMTMTTM) can be best described as. But the road to the finale of this love story infused with dollops of family drama is a bumpy and meandering one. In fact, be ready and patient enough to sit through multiple detours before you finally arrive to the destination.
This one-liner paper-thin plot could’ve been wrapped up way faster than 2 hours 25 minutes. But instead, director Sameer Vidwans decides to create a recipe by borrowing ingredients from too many cuisines. At times, it will remind you of the pre-interval chunk of Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. Here too, two good-looking people meet and their romance begins with tiff, friction and playful hostility. This banter-driven tension and emotional push-and-pull, sometimes bordering on the classic ‘I can’t stand you’ template, slowly turns into love. And then comes the melodramatic Indian family trope.
