10/10
Under-rated Classical Action Thriller.
20 March 2020
Tumko Na Bhool Payenge is a tale about humanity, brotherhood, relationships and gritty emotions of the society. It is a film which has a solid plot, melodious music, enchanting background score, magnificent cinematography, and breath-taking action sequences and yet it fails at the Indian Box Office and whenever I watched this film, I always asked this question to myself that what went wrong that the film tanked at the box office. Honestly, I had watched all kind of action films from around the globe and Tumko Na Bhool Payenge is one the best, it has all the elements to be regarded as the action thriller.

For me, memories have written all over this film. Being accurate, I had watched this film more than 15 times over the last 16 years. The first time, was a bit memorable and I can still replay all those moments and the struggles to watch this film. It was the festivity of Eid and after that, we will always play that song "Mubarak Eid Mubarak" and still, we do.

As I said earlier, this film has all the elements to be called the classical action thriller of Indian Cinema. I will review every aspect of this film in the following order:

Plot:

Remarkable, the black core of the film. Unfolded wonderfully throughout, the characters and their basic instincts exposed beautifully, the locations are explored perfectly and emotions and characters strike the chords of the heart.

Action and Cinematography:

Top-Notch, it has the thrills and edited perfectly. The start is impeccable, the shooting and fight an engagement reception are marvelous and the last leg of the film is just out of the box for an Indian film. Salman Khan is equivalent to Van Damme and Stallone. Bravo

Music:

Enchanting, the picturization is loveable. Bandiya Chamke is refreshing, Tumko Na Bhool Payenge romantic and melodic, Kya Hua Tujhe, a soothing track and Mubarak Eid Mubarak brings festivity and Kyun Khanke Teri Choodi, a perfect flirt number. Overall, a great music Album.

Acting:

Salman Khan as Veer/Ali is adorable, he is innocent, daring and super sexy. I literally cried in some of his sequences, his dialogues are harmonious. Still, the best film of him in Action Avatar. Diya Mirza as Muskaan is sweet and simpleton, she played his part smoothly and elegantly. Sushmita Sen, take my breath away, super charming lady. Indra Kumar was great, he showed some muscle and bring some brain to the role. Sharad Saxena, Rajpal Yadav, and other cast were great in their respective roles especially Arbaz Khan and Alok Nath in their extended cameos.

Back in our School Days, during the time of 2003 and 2004, Tumko Na Bhool Payenge was the most talk about the film of Salman Khan due to its breath-taking action sequences. The film was famous for Tyson "the dog", who bring cassette and Salman Khan offering Namaz and us as a kid used to discuss every scene of this film while break time. Back then, we don't know, on what merits the film was judged on the box office dismissal performances so, I was hurt to know that it tanked at the box office. I really don't know, why it didn't work but this film needs recognition. It is quite famous among Pakistani Kids of the 1990s.

It is the best action-thriller of all time. Recommended to everyone.
