Actress Neha Sharma says that it was great fun to work with actors Arjun and Anil Kapoor in their upcoming film “Mubarakan”.

“I am working with Anil Kapoor for the first time and it was a lot of fun to work with him and even Arjun. The shooting is finally done and I am very excited for the special appearance,” said Neha.

“‘Mubarakan’ is a fun film. A classic Anees Bazmee film. It has amazing comedy and it’s got a gamut of stars,” Neha said.

The actress was present for her app launch on Monday. She has now joined the list of stars like Salman Khan and Sunny Leone who have their own app.

Asked about the trend of celebrities having their own app, she said: “Whenever any new trend comes in town, it catches up like fire. Some fade out and some don’t. It’s very important to know what is interesting in your app… that it’s going to stick around for long.”

“The app which I am launching has amazing things in it and people are really going to enjoy it,” added Neha.

On comparing her app with the other existing apps, Neha said: “Every actor has a different personality. The way they interact with people is different and the content they put out is different. My app will be very much like me. What I like to watch and share is totally different from other actors’.”

Neha was last seen in the 2016 film “Tum Bin II”, directed by Anubhav Sinha.

“Every time there is a complaint that I rest more and do less films. But now I will be very busy doing a lot of films,” she said.

Her upcoming projects also include the third instalment of the film “Hera Pheri”.

“Tum Bin 2”; Director: Anubhav Sinha; Cast: Neha Sharma, Aditya Seal, Aashim Gulati, Kanwaljit Singh and Sonia Balani; Rating: **

An old-fashioned love story about selfless love, friendship, forgiveness and sacrifice, Anubhav Sinha’s “Tum Bin 2” is a sequel to his earlier film “Tum Bin”, made in 2001. The setting is different, the faces new, but the story line is almost the same.

Taran (Neha Sharma) and Amar (Aashim Gulati) are in love and on a holiday together, when while skiing in the Alps, Amar meets with an accident and goes missing. Devastated, Taran tries to put together the pieces of her life and is helped by Shekhar (Aditya Seal), a well-wisher, along with her family and friends. Just when she is able to reconstruct her life once again and makes an effort to be happy, life deals her another blow.

While the emotional quotient of the film’s theme is high, the pace drags and somewhere, it fails to involve you as the momentum is lost. You do not empathise with the characters. The film recourses to several cliched dialogues and situations and is predictable from word go, with no element of surprise. The outcome of the love triangle too seems a tad outdated given the sensibilities of the youth today. There are some light-hearted moments, some real situations, one can relate to, but these are few and far between.

“Tum Bin 2” Star Cast :-Neha Sharma, Aditya Seal, Aashim Gulati

The performances of the lead cast are praiseworthy as of the other supporting characters. Aditya Seal as Shekhar shines with his subtle histrionics and charms you immediately. His acting style is strongly reminiscent of Akshaye Khanna. Neha Sharma as Taran is natural, emotes reasonably well and is endearing, while debutant Aashim Gulati appears confident, but seems filmi making an earnest effort to act. He lacks spontaneity.

Kanwaljit Singh as Amar’s father aka ‘Papaji’ renders a sincere and heart-warming portrayal. Sonia Balani as the youngest sister Gurpreet, is competent and lights up the screen with her effervescence. The actor playing Manpreet, the older sister, is equally a treat to watch and makes good use of her limited screen time.

Written and directed by Anubhav Sinha, the film lacks freshness in its writing and the dialogues are verbose and hackneyed. The treatment of the film too, is expected and there is no hook to keep the audience engaged. He treads cautiously, keeping the old framework intact but makes changes, where there was no need.

The film scores high on its music by Ankit Tiwari and Nikhil-Vinay, as the songs “Teri Fariyad” rendered by the late Jagjit Singh, and “Ishq Mubarak” are soulful and a treat for the listeners. The title song “Tum Bin” however fails to recreate the magic of the 2001 film song sung by K.S. Chithra, which haunts music lovers even today. “Nachna aaonda nahin” with Mouni Roy in a special appearance is a damp squib.

Ewan Mulligan’s cinematography does justice to Scotland in all its hues, making each scene look like a picture postcard.

Overall, “Tum Bin 2” had the potential of being a love story that could warm the cockles of your heart, but somehow this one does not, despite the strong performances by Aditya Seal and Neha Sharma.

A song about separation, longing, heartbreaks and soul, ‘Koi Fariyaad’ from Tum Bin still echoes in her hearts for its emotional quotient. Years have passed but the chartbuster from the 2001 film still remains an integral part of everyone’s playlist. A major credit for this goes to the legendary ghazal singer Jagjit Singh and his haunting voice. And before his fans could even think of erasing the song from their hearts, they were in for a surprise. It was no less than a déjà vu when the makers of Tum Bin returned with its second part and recreated the iconic song with the original Jagjit Singh’s voice!

Shirish Kunder’s comeback short-film ‘Kriti’ has come under scrutiny, after news went viral that it is copied from a Nepali film ‘Bob’. It is been said that the writer has lifted the plot almost completely, and there are similarities between a number of scenes.

‘Bob’, directed by Aneel Neupane, went online last year. Neupane took on Facebook, and said that he was “shocked to find so much similarities” between Bob and Kriti, and alleged that “Shirish Kunder practically stole the plot and made it into his film”.

Kunder, meanwhile, termed all allegations as baseless, adding that it is virtually not possible to copy the idea, as when ‘Bob’ was released ‘Kriti’ was already in the post-production. He added that these untrue allegations “just spoil the fun of everything”.

“That short film (‘Bob’) was released on May 12 whereas we shot ‘Kriti’ in February, after which it was in post-production,” Kunder pointed out. “How is it even possible to ‘lift’ the idea, unless I was time travelling? These allegations are technically, factually and logically, baseless.”

The movie featuring Manoj Bajpayee, Radhika Apte and Neha Sharma has received positive reviews from both fans and critics, after its release on Wednesday. Bajpayee is essaying a writer’s role, while Apte is playing his friend/therapist, and Neha is portraying a agoraphobic girlfriend.
