It's Difficult NOT To Enjoy This Movie
Dynamixor
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

The movie is too good but the worst part is its background score which actually did not let the dialogues clearly audible. so -2 rating for that. The entire dialogue sequences were not clear just because of the background music being too loud. The colors used by the cinematographer were exceptionally good.

The title of the film reminds of an 80s film of the same title which has been remembered for its songs. But this film has nothing to do with 80s "Sanam Teri Kasam." Instead it resembles some hits like "Love Story" (1970) or "Prem Geet"(1981) destined for a tragic end. But you don't get fully soaked in the emotions of this film due to its entangled narrative, unlovable characters, and its over length. The beauty of the film remains only in a sparse through a decent performance by its debut actress, few song numbers and the pleasant colors used in its backdrop. For me it was a slight, passable movie which drags for the rest of your two hours.Rating: 1 star out of 4

I was thinking of watching a romantic movie for quite a few days.I started watching "Sanam Teri Kasam" wondering it would be a musical love story.It turned out more than i had expected.That's why I am writing this review.The music of the movie is awesome.Really most of the songs are composed from heart.The title track has nailed every other song.Though "Sanam Teri Kasam" doesn't have a high star cast but the actors have done a splendid job.Specially i loved the hero "Harshvardhan Rane".I loved the movie so much that i cried few times.Must watch for everyone."Sanam Teri Kasam" will touch your heart for sure ( If you have one).Watch and judge it yourself.......

Sanam Teri Kasam is an intense love story of two diametrically opposite people; Saraswathy Parthsarthy aka Saru (Mawra Hocane), a Tamilian Brahmin and her wealthy neighbour Inder (Harshwardhan Rane). While Saru is a bespectacled plain Jane, who works in a library, Inder is a cynical rebel who lives life in the fast lane.Leading a sheltered life, under the aegis of her strict disciplinarian father, her marriage is the biggest bone of contention in her family as she is always rejected owing to her dowdy appearance and staid personality. One day, in her desperate attempt to transform herself, Saru inadvertently changes her destiny.With a well-written screenplay and powerful performances by the debutant duo in Bollywood, the film tugs at your emotional chords and makes you empathize with Saru and her plight. Their love story is credible and their on screen chemistry is strong and tangible.The dialogues befitting the characters who mouth them, are not the regular clichés in a love story and offer depth to the narration.Harshvardhan Rane as Inder, delivers a controlled and poised performance, giving vent to his angst, love, frustrations and sorrow with restraint. He lights up the screen with his strong and well-chiselled physique and emotes superbly through his eyes. He is equally at ease as the silent lover, as he is in an emotional outburst.Mawra Hocane, the Pakistani VJ, model and actor, is a delight to watch as Saru. She slips into the demure character with ease and her get-up certainly adds to her persona. She is confident and her innocence is endearing. You are one with her in her unrequited love, as also in her hour of grief.Manish Choudhari as Saru's stern father essays his role competently and brings alive the character of the Tamil Brahmin authoritarian patriarch on screen. Murli Sharma as the policeman who is a sucker for love stories performs well too. Anurag Sinha as Abhimanyu Shastry, Saru's colleague and crush, offers a sincere portrayal.The powerful background score is apt and uplifts the tenor of the scenes. The music by Himesh Reshammiya is soulful and one of the highlights of the film. The songs are penned well and bring out the mood of the film, especially Haal-e-dil and Bewajaah. The only unwarranted song is perhaps the one picturised on Vijay Raaz.With brilliant production values, Sanam Teri Kasam manages to draw you into the lives of Saru and Inder and moistens your eyes too.Perhaps it is the last fifteen minutes of the film, which drags a bit and given the few cinematic liberties that the directors have taken, becomes a little mawkish. Else, theirs is a love story that will touch your heart without a doubt.
