Synopsis
Ram Gopal Varma’s Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya is different from candyfloss romantic flicks. It explores the negative shades of human
beings and shows love as a dangerous passion that makes one pay dearly.
Jai (Fardeen Khan) is a fashion designer happily married to Geeta (Sonali Kulkarni). Riya (Urmila) is a budding model whom Jai gets to
shoot. The twosome gets close during the photo sessions and the increasing proximity between them turns into love.
Geeta comes to know of Jai’s clandestine relationship with Riya and his libertine ways. Jai asks for forgiveness when Geeta confronts
him. But Riya is madly obsessed with Jai and is prepared to go to any length to get him in her life, even if that means committing
suicide or getting rid of Geeta forever.
Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya showcases Urmila in a new sassy avatar with her hair finely cropped to shoulders. Grapevine has it that
Urmila herself created the look of her character in the film—from selecting her clothes to losing weight to match the appearance of
her character in the film. She looks stunning in the film.
It is for a second time Urmila is portraying a character with psychotic shades. Her director is pretty impressed the way she has
pulled off her role. Her performance in suicidal attempt scene from a high rise building is par excellence. Her locking horns with
Sonali is also of highest order.
Also, Urmila is paired with Fardeen Khan for a second time. Jungle was their first movie together.
Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya is a rough rehash of the Hollywood potboiler Fatal Attraction starring Michael Douglas-Glen Close.
Directed by first timer Rajat Mukherjee, one-time assistant to Ram Gopal Varma. Another Varma camp regular Sandeep Chowta scores the
music.
It is slated to hit the marquee on April 27..
Review
“All love stories make you fall in love, this one won’t,” says the promo of Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya. Indeed this film is not yet
another stereotype Bollywood love stories, which paints the hero in white and the villain in black to portray love as an exalter
virtue.
Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya is colorful. Colorful because director Rajat Mukherjee has imbued the characters in the film with the real
shades. A suspicious wife, her infidel husband and his over-possessive mistress—all, it seems, have been lifted from life among higher
sections of the society.
Jai, a fashion photographer, is married to Geeta. Jai while on a lookout for a new face comes across Riya jiving on the sea beach. She
agrees to model for Jai’s photography. Riya is from a rich family. She is temperamental, highly possessive in nature.
Jai and Riya are drawn closer to each other. Riya gets madly obsessed with Jai without knowing that he is already married to Geeta.
When a shaken Geeta opts for herself out of wedlock, Jai promises to change his ways. On other hand, Riya is too possessive of Jai.
She even makes a suicidal attempt to end her life. She also stalks Geeta to take her away from Jai’s life forever.
Rajat Mukherjee deals with emotions like jealousy, envy, infatuation at all with the adeptness of a veteran. He also touches upon
certain vague subtleties.
Urmila grooves in perfectly as Riya. She convincingly portrays erratic moods of a person. He bubbly buoyancy will not go unnoticed.
Particularly laudable is her depiction of two different shades of a same person. First, as vulnerable as any other girl and later a
suicidal, she-of-the-killer-instinct, a la Glen Close in Hollywood hit Fatal Attraction, Urmila gives a power-packed
performance.
Fardeen-Urmila romance is hot and dangerously volatile. They are drawn closer to each other by violent passions at times, but
impassive some other time. You can feel the sparks of the passion smoldering between them.
Fardeen looks handsome in his designer stubble and dandy clothes. Urmila and her new swanky hairdo and slinky clothes were talk of the
town even before the film’s release.
Last but not least, Sandeep Chowta’s melodious music doesn’t get lost in hot passions or disturbing human feelings |
