Release Date:
February 24, 2012The world will always welcome love stories, they say, especially if they are funny, crazy and unconventional (Ghazab Kahani's). Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya is an endearing tale of how unusual circumstances bring people together and change their lives in ways they could have never imagined.
Meet Mini, a beautiful free-spirited tomboy who has what it takes to make her an extremely eligible bachelorette in the eyes of many local boys- a passport to Canada- and a heir to her father Bhatti's business. Bhatti, who is hell-bent on marrying her off as soon as possible, also is wide-eyed when it comes to money. After having brought up his daughter single-handedly, he is now looking to en-cash the best marriage proposal
But who does Bhatti have in mind? Sunny, a brash and aimless boy, whose sole purpose in life is to spend his wealthy father's money. Sunny with his 'Jat, Jameen aur Jipsy' thinks he can win the heart of any young lady. But are they going to have a fairytale ending? Will he be able to win our beautiful Mini's heart?
Meet Viren, Bhatti's mild-mannered employee who is ambitious enough to save money, start a small business and make it big in life. Mini meets Viren when he comes to her house to claim some pending money. Mini uses a small argument between Bhatti and Viren as an excuse to escape her impending marriage and flees with the latter in what appears to be a kidnapping.
But is this really a kidnapping? And if yes, who is being kidnapped? Together they come up with a clever plan, a sort of ransom settlement which could earn them money. While on the run, the fugitives begin to enjoy each other's company. A new twist in the tale takes them to a completely unexpected location where we meet Chaudhary whose unusual life and circumstances we get to discover.
Chaudhary and his bunch of hilarious family members, each one not to be outdone by the other, grow to love Mini's presence around the household. What happens while they wait for their ransom? Will Mini and her hero ride off into the sunset together? Will Sunny be able to save the day? You'll just have to watch to find out. In a dramatic climax involving a shiny horse and a beautiful car, that will leave you asking for more, Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya is a unique film where going beyond appearances truly is the mantra.

February 03, 2012Bharat is the quintessential aam aadmi, who lives in Bhopal. He is a cashier at a bank and like all bankers, has a trusted sidekick his scooter. He is also a part-time actor, and portrays the role of Lord Hanuman at the local Ramleela skit. His family consists of his wife, Nisha, a schoolteacher and his father, Shivnarayan, a patriotic, idealistic man, who dreams of a corrupt-free nation.
Then there is Amita, the unwanted guest, who is a call centre employee. She is a pretty young thing, which is enough reason for Nisha to be slightly insecure about her marriage. Nisha is ambitious for her husband, and would like him to be promoted from cashier to manager at the bank. Bharat, however, has other goals. He wants to be Ram, the protagonist in Ramleela. Sattu Tripathi, an extremely bad actor, gets to portray Ram, without opposition, because he is the younger brother of the politician, MLA Manku Tripathi.
Both the Tripathi brothers dislike Bharat, for different reasons. Sattu is overshadowed by Bharats superior acting skills on stage, leading to a rivalry between the two. Manku, on the other hand, is miffed with Bharat, because the extra room in the latters house is now used as a re-election campaign room by Mohanlal, Mankus adversary. And then one day, Bharats table-fan gets stolen. The police constable, Parshuram Khushwaah tells Bharat that the local paanwala, Bacchu Gulkand, can testify in court that it was none other than Chunnu Farishta, burglar par excellence, who is responsible for the crime
