(translates as "in your name")
2003
4/5 stars
Radhe (Salman Khan) is a kind-hearted young man, but he turns to violence to solve most problems. He falls in love with Nirjara (Bhoomika Chawla), the gentle and innocent daughter of a Brahman priest. She despises Radhe's violence, and rudely rejects him. Radhe begins to become unhinged as a result. Eventually, Nirjara returns his love, but a tragedy strikes, changing everything.
Tere Naam seems at first to be just another romance, but it becomes a serious drama that left me emotionally raw and empty. Khan is fantastic in his role, expertly playing a range of emotions. He was thoroughly convincing throughout the movie, in all the phases of his character's mental state. Chawla, as well as the supporting cast, also gave strong performances. The song-and-dance numbers didn't fully fit the film, but the incidental/atmospheric music was excellent.
Overall, with the exception of one scene that didn't flow with the rest of the movie (keeping it from being a 5 star film), Tere Naam is an amazing and unsettling emotional experience.
This movie is available to rent on Google Play.
