Tamachey: Love-Mush-Con-Fun-Satire quickie. New-age QSQT **** (film review)


Tamanchey - Pyar Mil De Dil Pe Mar De Goli
Director: Navneet Bahl. Producer: Suryaveer Singh Bhullar.
Stars: Nikhil Dwivedi and Richa Chadda

Twist: Tamanchey film is a musically-gifted, funny take on India's young con men and women and their desire for real love. Nikhil Dwivedi as Munna and Richa Chadda as Babu are characters that make their way into the audiences hearts steadily with their rustic and raw appeal. Munna's UP accent is truly funny and so is his shy innocence when he spots Richa as a co-convict on-the-run from police men. Richa's Delhi girl doing 'business' role is impressive with her effortless style of  'I want it my way' attitude.

Satire: How police encounters get staged and surrenders aren't usually a way to freedom is what Tamanchey portrays in a love-mush-con-fun-satire quickie style of script.

Plot unfurls: The movie picks up pace right from the first few shots and gets you wondering where the two lovable convicts would run and hide. Falling in love is another mistake they make and pay heavily for. The ending is a reminder of circa 1988 Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak hit film starring Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla.

Characters stay with you: Yes, as different as chalk and cheese, Munna and Babu grow on you just the way the amazing sound tracks do. The characters stay with you much beyond the film's ending. Worth a watch and full paisa-vasool because Richa's hot and Nikhil's a cracker. It's fun!

Girl with the blue scarf says: Fill you weekend with some edgy rawness, watch Tamanchey and come back humming Pyaar Mil De Pe Maar De Goli.

The 'casting couch' is serious trouble for male models in India The Casting Couch is a reality. Not just for female models but also the males in India’s buzzing fashion industry. In a quest to make it big, acquire fame, money and a high-profile lifestyle, many male models face the rude reality of ‘talent hunts’ under the guise of ramp show auditions. While many such auditions are genuine, others are ‘indecent proposals’ or a fast dial way to make it on the ramp for big designers and then to the silver screen. Incidentally, under the scanner of late is model Sid Gupta (name changed) , assistant director in a recent Shah Rukh Khan film, who was given a shot on the ramp to open and close the KJo-Varun Bahl’s menswear show in Delhi and the India Couture Week in Mumbai. Fashion circles in both cities are abuzz with rumours about he being a toyboy for his godfather. Not just him, in the recent past model Inder Bajwa and then Lalit Trehan were rumoured to have been the boyfriends of d...

Choreographer and IPL fashion show coordinator Prasad Bidappa defends his expression of art — a calender of nude men, which leaked out in the public recently Prasad Bidappa was a hassled man recently as he prepared for the Indian Premier League 2011 show in Mumbai. Reason being: His hobby of exotic photography was costing him his reputation and ruining his sleep. Some of the pictures he had shot of nude males, which were sent to an exclusive friend list on email were mysteriously leaked out to in the public eye. Apart from hushed talks amongst the modelling circuit who are participating in Bidappa's own IPL fashion shows, a fashion blogsite too posted this incident as a scandal.
