'Tera Mera Tedha Medha'

Movie Review By 'G9 Divya Solgama'

'Knots & Dirty Stains...'

Expectations:

The 60’s era was flooded with back to back romantic musical films. But, with the arrival of the 70’s era, we witnessed soft, light hearted romantic comedies with younger and less popular actors. Some of these films like 'Choti Si Baat', 'Saath Saath', 'Golmaal', 'Baaton Baaton Mein', 'Piya Ka Ghar', etc made their mark onto the list of classic films and inspired various other filmmakers to keep making such small budget light hearted romantic films with lesser known actors. One of this week's released film 'Tera Mera Teda Meda' (TMTM), is also one such film with lesser known actors and low marketing. Thus, let's find out whether 'TMTM' will manage to give us a sweet feel good type of romantic comedy or might end up being another film with good one liner script and nothing else to offer.

Story:

'Tera Mera Tedha Meda' is a story of Rajan Jha (Rahul Bagga) who keeps painting nude females and is in a live-in relationship with Kamini (Geetika Tyagi). As per astrological planets Rajan's ‘Mangal’ (Chittranjan Tripathy) and ‘Shani’ (Rajesh Sharma) are in the trouble making zones, thus creating lots of ups and downs in his life. Due to these happenings, Kamini break up with Rajan and so things in his life changes drastically. What happens next is what the entire film is all about.

Screenplay & Technicalities:

Now, looking at the synopsis the story seems like a typical romantic type of film with love-break up-love as it's core ingredient. If only the writers would have stuck to the basic story line, the impact would have been positive. Instead, they ended up adding weird detailing to all the characters from the film. The hero is gifted to paint only nude pictures, the heroine gets bitten by an owl, due to which she cannot face the sunlight but develops night vision and can paint in darkness, the narrators are the planets (in human form) wearing Govinda style clothes and keep singing songs for every situation, one of the narrator drinks oil in bottle and keeps spraying deodorant to avoid the smell, there are other planets (in human form) who keep playing musical band, one of the neighbour is bi-sexual pervert, who keeps lusting on every girl and guy he meets, then there is a weird family from Bihar who forcefully tries to get the hero married to their ugly looking daughter, then there is one more heroine who is more horny than the perverts sitting on a computer watching porn 24x7 and many such characters with unique qualities attached to them. Most of these characters and their tracks are non-relevant to the theme of the film. The dialogues have double meaning and are trashy (‘Tumhare ander painter nahin chupa hain, hawas ka panther chupa hain’, etc). The C.G.I work is weak and looks terrible on the screen.

Music & Direction:

The songs are unwanted and fails to go with the flow of the film. Background music is jarring.

The director Chittranjan Tripathy tries to blend a rom-com with some naughtiness attached to it, but fails miserably due to weak screenplay. He ends up being modern day Manoj Kumar, who, puts his foot in various sections of film making (director, actor, music director, lyricist, writer, etc).

Performances:

Rahul Bagga tried to do a decent job, but ends up being victimized of inconsistent performance. Geetika Tyagi looks good and does her part with grace. Reema Worah was loud and vulgar at times. Rajesh Sharma and Chittranjan Tripathy were fine in some parts. Sanjiv Chopra was cheap.

So bol meri 'Filmi Khopdi' iss film mein kitna hain Dum???

Dum??? Well, except for one liner story idea and few unintentionally funny scenes, there is nothing much to look forward in this film. 'Tera Mera Tedha Meda' ends up like a piece of non usable cloth with several knots and dirty stains attached to it. The best way to use it is to dump it into the garbage can.
