Teri Meri Kahani  as its  tagline says thrice upon a love story shows the love stories of eternal lovers Shahid and Priyanka in  three eras 1910, 1960 and 2012.

1960 – This is the weakest part of the film. There are some Charlie Chaplin kind of scenes which are a very poor attempt at comedy.

The sets and the visual effects are so bad that not for a second we get the retro feeling. Priyanka smiles so much that we wonder if she is trying to hide something ! The only good thing about this era is the Jabse mere dil ko uff song which reminds us of The legendary Shammi Kapoor.

2012- This part is totally dedicated to Priyanka Chopra. She gets to show off her hot body . Shahid and Priyanka represent the current generation who like to update every small part of their lives on twitter or facebook. Neha Sharma has nothing much to do but gives strong competition to Priyanka in the looks department.

1910 – This era is the best part of the film. Shahid’s performance as a Casanova is so natural that  you feel all the shayaris are his creations. Priyanka with her funny Punjabi accent looks out of place. 

The film is about love but there is no intense scene or great chemistry between Shahid and Priyanka. The story is so simple that we feel as if we are watching a film made for kids. Never for a second we get to feel the love which we experienced while watching Kunal Kohli’s earlier film Hum Tum. The story telling style where one story merges with another has already been shown in Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal so we get a feeling of deja-vu.

Shahid is an excellent actor, dances well, looks good too  but his selection of films is so poor that most of his talents go unnoticed. Priyanka is also a good actress but most of her roles are repetitive   .

In a line the film was a  very time pass kind of film which neither takes you to the highs of first love nor the lows of  rejection.. Can be avoided.
