Tadap

Ramisa (Tara Sutaria) returns from the UK after completing her education to Musoorie, Uttarakhand, where her father Nautiyal (Kumud Mishra) is the local legislator. She is instantly attracted to Ishana (Ahan Shetty), a rugged young man who she soon discovers is the foster son of her father's close friend, Daddy (Saurabh Shukla). It doesn't take long for sparks to fly between Ramisa and Ishana and they fall in love. For Ishana, it feels too good to be true, and he gets far too deeply involved emotionally.

But fate has other plans for them. While on a trip to Dehradun to procure some raw materials for their business, Ishana suddenly learns about Ramisa's wedding to a London based guy, and in super quick time, the ceremony is to be executed. He rushes back home but can't stop the wedding from taking place and even fails to meet Ramisa one last time. He blames Nautiyal for their misfortune and vows to destroy his life and assets. After Ramisa has flown back to the UK, Ishana hits the bottle hard, turns into a melancholy alcoholic, who won't miss an opportunity to damage Nautiyal's business assets and beating up his people, something that Nautiyal quietly bears without retribution, claiming that Ishana is his friend's son. Three years pass by, with Ishana going from bad to worse, unable to forget Ramisa or move on, and then one day, Ramisa returns to Musoorie much to Ishana's joy of the hope of being reunited. It's showtime!!

Tadap is excruciatingly slow and feels like a polished version of 1960-70's love stories where protagonists just couldn't move on from heartbreaks. You really have no idea where it's all headed until about 30 minutes before the climax there's a twist in the love story that you possibly didn't see coming. In spite of that novel twist, the film's languid and repetitive storytelling fails to redeem the situation as it's too far gone. You don't know what you should regret about - a young life wasted chasing a wild goose, or your two and a half hours of sitting through a monotonous narrative that leavesd no impression. Ahan Shetty doesn't inspire in his first appearance and Tara Sutaria is lightweight anyway. The most impressive performances come from Saurabh Shukla and Kumud Mishra, which are perhaps the film's best assets apart from some peppy music composition by Pritam. Also worth a mention is Sumit Gulati in role of Ishana's friend LOL, who actually is quite a hoot.

I don't understand what is with new comers and cringey love stories. I think Bollywood saw Salman & Amir's respective success in their debuts and now they thing this formula will work till eternity but they don't seem to understand that the movie itself should be good for this to work. Tadap is exactly how you would expect it to be there is nothing astonishing about this movie. Sure actors did their best but sometimes that's not enough especially with a remake that's not even on par with source material. Please bring original non romantic content for debutants.

RX100 made by Ajay Bhupati had a very good making and characters gets connected with the viewers which lacks here in this movie. The focused more on Ahan Shetty rather than the script. Not a good remake overall.

Now I saw both movies Rx100 in Telugu and Tadap in Hindi.

In my Opinion RX100 was good for one time watch with Brilliant music. But had flaws.

This Tadap is just Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. The writer had nothing to put new things except location, characters name. Seriously nothing. That also they couldn't do properly.

Up on that it's just star kid career launching movie. But do he able to deliver that. Nope!!!

I am not saying to give this script to some other actor or any known actor but. But at least they could have done properly with screenplay.

Dialogues are ridiculous. No one talks like a normal person in this movie. Every one is giving a speech or some kind of lecture to each other.

I am not a fan of Tara Sutaria. She can't act. Up on that her choice of script or movie selections has been horrible. This movie might be her best choice. But she can't deliver lust full, nymphomaniac character. Also an evil personality which she needs to do. That demands years of tough characters portraying actress with young age. There are so many actress we have seen in recent years in OTT web series.

I am not a fan of Tadap music Album also. It's annoying and very forgettable music and songs.

Only one song plays repeatedly in the whole movie.

Better to listen RX100. It had soulful music.

Compare to Tadap music album, RX100 is a masterpiece music album with such beautiful sound design.

Tadap starts in a positive way but the screenplay of the movie lacks the whole plot. First half is very slow paced and it's kinda hard to connect to the story. Second half picks up good but it end drastically as it not should be. Performance wise Ahan Shetty tries so hard to get into the character and he did in some scenes but still he need to work hard more for his dialogue delivery acting. Tara Sutaria is exceptional in this movie & the way she has acted in this movie was superb. Story was below average. Director Milan luthria direction was not on the point because movie lacks in the 1st half only & then it takes way more time to pick up to the story. Anyway it's a one time watch you can definitely give a try.....
