Strong acting of Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal

Whenever there is talk of any suspense and psychological thriller film in the corridors of Bollywood, the expectations of the audience are always sky high. In this series, the new film ‘Tu Hai Meri Kiran’ starring Bollywood’s veteran and talented actress Sonakshi Sinha and her husband and actor Zaheer Iqbal in the lead roles has finally come in front of the audience. There was a huge buzz about this film in social media and film circles for quite some time because this is the first big screen presence of this power couple after marriage. The trailer of the film itself had created a strange thrill in the hearts of people, due to which it was expected that it would prove to be one of the best thriller films of this year. Let us know how well this film meets the expectations of the audience on screen and which aspects of it are commendable and where it falls weak.

The story of the film ‘Tu Hai Meri Kiran’ mainly revolves around love, doubt, confusion and mental turmoil. At the center of the story is Kiran and her partner, whose lives suddenly take a dramatic and dangerous turn that turns their entire world upside down. The film starts at a fast pace and in a suspenseful manner, which keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. The way the director has portrayed the psychological tension and bitterness between the characters in the beginning of the screenplay is praiseworthy. As the story progresses, layers are revealed and the audience keeps trying to guess what is truth and what is lie. However, the precision and tightness that is expected from thriller genre films seems to waver a bit in the second half.

If there is one strong point of this film, it is definitely the acting of its lead actors. Sonakshi Sinha has once again proved that she can play any kind of challenging character with ease and depth. Sonakshi is seen completely immersed in the different shades and mental struggles of her character in the film. The fear in his facial expressions and eyes shocks the audience to the core. At the same time, Zaheer Iqbal has also done complete justice to his character. Sonakshi and Zaheer’s on-screen chemistry looks very natural and effective, which makes the emotional scenes of the film even stronger. The chemistry between the two actors is the main reason that does not let the audience take their eyes off the screen till the end.

Despite the brilliant acting of the film’s actors and excellent making, ‘Tu Hai Meri Kiran’ goes a little wrong in its most important parts i.e. the script and the climax. The backbone of a psychological thriller film is its unexpected ending (Twist and Climax), but the climax of this film may seem predictable to many experienced thriller lovers. The second half of the film feels a bit drawn out, where the director somehow misses the pace of the story. At some places the script becomes so confusing that the audience may feel a little lost from the main plot. If this film had been made a little more sharp and crisp on the editing table, its impact could have been even more profound.

Talking about the technical aspects of the film, its cinematography and visual treatment are excellent. The way an atmosphere of suspense has been created in different city scenes and dimly lit rooms is praiseworthy. The camera angles have helped a lot in maintaining the thriller mood of the film. Apart from this, the background score (BGM) of the film fits the genre perfectly and doubles the thrill in many scary or tense scenes. This combination of music and tunes gives a premium and rich look to the film, giving the audience a different experience whether in the cinema hall or on the OTT screen.

In the end, it can be said that ‘Tu Hai Meri Kiran’ is a film which is definitely worth watching once due to its strong star cast and excellent acting. Even though there are some flaws in its story and screenplay and it has missed out on becoming a perfect masterpiece, the strong acting of Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal does not let it down. If you like watching psychological thriller movies and are looking for a new exciting experience on the weekend, then you can definitely give this movie a chance. Along with providing a lot of entertainment, this film will also force you to think about many untouched aspects of relationships.
