Tu Hai Meri Kiran

The trailer of Tu Hai Meri Kiran suggests a psychological thriller about obsession: a woman pushing back against a man who refuses to let go, but the film turns out to be far more than its trailer implies. In fact, the film’s biggest strength is how much it holds back before revealing what it really has in store for the audience. I went in expecting one kind of thriller, but what unfolded on screen was a genuine surprise. The makers deserve credit for not giving away too much in the trailer. It’s a lesson other filmmakers could take note of. Directed well, shot effectively and edited sharply, the film gets several essentials of a psychological thriller right. The sound design deserves special mention, adding to the tension and keeping you immersed in the unfolding drama. There is also a time-travel element to the story, but I wouldn’t want to reveal more and spoil the experience. It’s best to walk into the cinema knowing as little as possible.
