Tum Bin 2 is neither a sequel, nor a sob fest but Anubhav Sinha’s tribute to his own 2001 surprise hit ‘Tum Bin’. Tum Bin 2 Review by Renuka Vyavahare on The Times Of India


Watch it for sure if you swear by PS I Love You, Aashiqui 2, The Fault in Our Stars and such. Overall, Tum Bin 2 is sweet, well acted, and heightens its impact with the beautiful music. You want a gush of wind to sway away the balloon from its path, but fate and the director has other plans. Tum Bin is a shiny bright red balloon that is floating upwards towards a pointed needle. Tum Bin 2 Review by Rajat Tripathi on Bollywood Life Go for it if you are love typical Bollywood romance and cheesy love lessons, otherwise, catch its television premiere on a good lazy afternoon. Since it has nothing new to offer, it comes across as just another mediocre film. Overall the film thrives on its emotional quotient and the picturesque locales in Scotland. The climax scene has been shot on VFX and it kills the mood. There are no thrills and predictability of the film weighs it down. It feels like even makers didn’t expect it to be a blockbuster, thus ended up making a somewhat breezy mostly average watch for the sake of the prequel. Aditya Seal is a good talent to keep an eye on, Neha Sharma is also good in some parts. Tum Bin never actually thrived on its actors neither does Tum Bin 2. There’s a cop-out and it goes right back into old, old ways of settling such unseemly conflict: understanding vibes between the two men who decide for the girl what she really wants, an over-cooked plot garnished with lots of contrivances, and swelling violins which tell us that it’s time to bring the glycerine out. You start paying attention, hoping that the film will go down that path, and then wham, a lid comes down on that thread. There’s also an attempt to establish that first loves may not be for ever, and how it is perfectly possible, even acceptable, to move on. Tum Bin 2 Review by Shubhra Gupta on Indian Express The ‘oscillation’ of the girl between her two lovers seems to test the patience of the viewers after a certain point. Had the length of the second half of the film been a bit shorter, it definitely could have worked in the favour of the film. Even though Anubhav Sinha stays true to the script and the legacy of TUM BIN, there are times when the film tends to go astray. The drama that unfolds during the second half is way too cliché, something that Bollywood has witnessed many times in the past. While the film’s first half sets up the ambience and the plot of the film, the film’s second half appears a far bit stretched. His directorial work in TUM BIN 2 makes up for his absence. After having directed the sci-fi RA.ONE, Anubhav Sinha had been missing from the scene for some time now. Do not miss the ‘India meets Pakistan’ scene in the film, in order to know what we are talking about. Even though the humour element is present in the film, it is in negligible proportion. Even though the film does not boast of any kind of memorable one liners, the film’s dialogues are lucid without going over the top. Despite all this, it’s the treatment that’s meted to TUM BIN 2, which makes it worthwhile. The presence of loopholes in the film’s screenplay does, at times, make the film less convincing (more towards the second half). It’s a typical conventional story that has been witnessed in Bollywood before. The screenplay of TUM BIN 2 (Anubhav Sinha) seems heavily inspired by TUM BIN.

The film, in totality, does live upto the expectations that the trailers offered. When TUM BIN 2’s promos were released, it gave the audience a glimpse of a musical experience that the film offered. You begin hoping the movie would have the two lads flying away into the sunset leaving the silly Girl alone.Average Rating of All 'Tum Bin 2' Review - 2 stars Each boy jealous of the other and the girl staring at both open mouthed. There is no tragedy like Sangam (Raj Kapoor, Rajendra Kumar and Vyjayantimala) no soul like Saajan (where Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt both love Madhuri Dixit). The moment Boy1 comes back from the dead, the movie just turns into a farce. But girl? She has a short jacket with a fur lining, but she's wearing a teeny tiny frock that makes you feel cold. The people looking at the film shoot are covered to the gills, the boy (both 1 and 2) wear leather jackets and scarfs, Papaji wears beautiful jackets too. Girl dresses as though she lives in Los Angeles. Speaking of clothes, the movie has been shot in beautiful Edinburgh, and in the Scottish mountains. Girl and Boy2 sing so many songs, you lose count of the clothes they wear. Girl falls in love with homily boy as well.
