Sach bholo toh sahi. Review on Tum Milo Toh Sahi

I was surprised Tum milo to Sahi, not even one review is posted in MS, and therefore I am penning it as a diary. I am reminded of one wintry noon in 2008 in January when I landed in mumbai. I was crossing the Bandra flyover as pedestrian and was caught by the TC and fined 254 bucks for ticket less travelling. What a welcome back to Mumbai. Oops sorry for the digression guys, this movie is not about tourist travails, but about saving heritage in modern Mumbai & commercial world in general.

Dilnaaz ( Dimple Kapadia ) is an old parsi lady who runs Lucky Cafe probably in Bandra linking road. Here at the same premise a love story blooms between Amit ( Suniel shetty ) and Shalini. They get married thereafter and blessed with a cute boy. He too spends lot of time in the cafe. It is a sort of meeting place for college friends a la heritage Indian coffee house, where young and old spend their time and are comforted by the Dilnaaz when semblance of trouble erupts.

*Bell Inc, which is into running modern cafe chain, targets Lucky Cafe ( from 1935 ) as an ideal spot to take over. Amit offers Dilnaz a pricey 40 crore and later hikes it up to 45 crores. I thought they were underpaying, the place must be worth at 80 crores, forget the innumerable memories which are priceless.

Seeda ungli se ghee nahi nikla toh teda ungli se kaam chalo, so the usual bullying tactics begins. Amit warns Dilnaz about the powerful ways of MNC to bull doze people to part with their properties. Here comes our anti hero type of character Nana Patekar ( angry retired south indian character subbu ) How he meets Dilnaz in a departmental store ? How he gets into Lucky cafe ? and how he fights his first case after 37 years free of cost ?

Bell inc discover that Lucky cafe is being run unauthorisedly with the death of Zubin Irani by Dilnaz, who had died as a bachelor. There is no document in possession of Dilnaz to prove that the property is hers. The MNC gets the eviction of property order from the court within 30 days ? Well isnt the story gripping. Watch the movie with lots of friends and relatives this movie is worth watching. I was disappointed that I was one among 30 odd people watching such an excellent movie. Officially the movie claims to be interlink of three love stories in teenage, middle age and old age.

Lots of wry scuttle humour and satirical dialouge is the hallmark of the movie. U V and me honey milo toh to sahi is good hummable number. The direction, editing, dialogues and story line is the hall mark of the movie. There is a message for the judiciary, defence, citizens, students, MNC, cutting across religious lines. I would rate this movie 5 on 5. It is in the same genre of 3 idiots except with glamorised actors enacting it in cafe instead of college atmosphere.

Of course it is movie with a good message for me personally it set me thinking how to really save the heritage property of my dad which was built in 1942 ( quit india movement ) in a prime place in Mangalore.
