Tara vs Bilal

A woman ditched by her husband in London opts for a fake marriage to return her country ultimately falling for him. This is the plot of this simple romantic comedy, which somewhat reminded me of Kangana Ranaut's "Queen." Perhaps it's one of the most underrated movies of the recent time, which has surprisgly garnered a low rating in imdb.

Believe me, it's not a kind of larger than life movie which will set history; but it's still an enjoyable film without a second of boredom, just like the light Hollywood entertainers "My Fat Greek Wedding" or "Nurse Betty." The non star cast gives a feeling of a TV movie but is nevertheless refreshing. The greatest virtue of the film is the refreshing camerawork and sound which superbly depicts the cityscape of modern London, for which I wished I had watched in it a theatre.

Rating: 2 stars out of 4.

I'm currently watching this on Netflix and while the base concept it great and the lead actress- the actor playing Bilal is just terrible! I'm not sure what's worse- his over the top hair, the inconsistent British accent that obviously switches to huge Indian accent or the general over acting?

Having said that I'm still enjoying this and hope to see more from this director & writing team and the lead actress cast- she has such a Nargis Fakri vibe but with better acting!! Ha!

On a separate note the look/ feel of this movie with use of natural lighting and soft colour colour grading is a welcome change to the sea of psychedelic Karan Johar colours occupying Bollywood right now.

It's romantic movie, and we have definitely seen this kind of film in the past. Well all Indian romantic movies are similar. But what I liked in this movie is the very natural acting by new comer Sonia Rathee. Her hindi and dialogue delivery style is quite natural. Harshavardhan Rane did pretty well too so all the supporting cast.

Set in London suburbs, the spoken Hindi/Urdu mixed with Brit slang was perfect. Otherwise I have watched many bollywood movies, where the movie filmed in England with actors speaking American English.

I haven't found a single boring scene and completed this movie in Single Sitting rather than watching it over few days (as I do most of the bollywood movies).

It's refreshing, feel good movie. Watch it definitely.

This movie is cute and makes you smile and laugh at many instances! Acting from the main and supporting cast is brilliant. I am glad I ignored the average ratings and negative reviews and watched this rom-com. Some of the scenes halt the flow in the movie but like a river over rocks, this movie manages to reach the ocean eventually!

This movie is no A-list bumper (like the one in my title) but goes on to prove yet again that star tags will never triumph over good acting and storyline.

Harshvardhan Rane after Sanam Teri Kasam, manages to charm the audience yet again. Sonia Rathee's 'Tara' is a scene-stealer.

Don't know why this movie has lower rating. I absolutely loved it. Such clever dialogues and wicked rumour is what I liked the most.

I don't even know the name of the main lead but I absolutely loved the guys acting. Even the girl did an awesome job.

Kudos to such movies. We need more movies like this. Netflix is a great platform for such movie and I genuinely hope this movie does better and the rating goes better here on from here.

The side actors also have done great job. It's a movie where by the end it will leave a smile on your face and you will have a good sleep.

Loved every bit of this movie! Cheers.
