Can Bollywood make a good movie without a glamorous starcast? The answer is delivered through a movie that makes you review your relationships and Perhaps make you feel the essence of love. Tum Bin doesn't break any new grounds of sort in terms of film-making but it clearly shows a good story and script doesn't need the superstars to sell it.

Tum Bin tells the journey of Shekhar(Priyangshu) from Mumbai to Canada in search of redemption and there he meets Pia(Sandali). The plot then carries on showing the internal turmoils of these two characters as both try to seek their love and search for their destination in life.

The acting of its leads are not Phenomenal, maybe because all its star-cast are new and on debut. Priyangshu gets a good role and does a decent job but is often too woody in the emotional scenes. Sandali looks good but thats it, her voice really lets her down in many scenes. Himangshu should look for his career as a model, acting doesn't look his forte. Rakesh Bapat gets too less of screen-space to make his presence felt. But overall the refreshness of the cast along with the supporting actors bring a breezy feeling to the film which lifts it above the average fare. The cinematography is the strong point of the film as it is shot beautifully in and around Canada. And some masterpiece music by Nikhil-Vinay will liven you no doubt, listen to the heart-wrenching "Koi fariyaad" by Jagjit Singh and "Tum Bin" by Chitra. Thank you Mr. Anurag Basu for a feel-good movie, quite different from the average masala fares of typical Bollywood

The name "bheja fry" didn't promise much grandeur for sure and I went to the hall expecting the worst and cursing my friend who has dragged me into this. But what came was a pleasant surprise as the 95 min. film turned out to be an enthralling rib-tickling joyride. Vinay Pathak has long been an underrated actor and he proves his calibre by delivering a powerhouse performance which lifts an otherwise average film to a comic extravaganza. Everything from his looks to his dialogue delivery was spontaneously suave and had the audience rolling with laughter. The story basically is based on one night when a Music-company owner(Rajat Kapoor) invites a "talented" singer (Pathak) for dinner and that night changes his life in many ways.

Rajat Kapoor delivers a decent performance. Sarika looks fresh in a comeback role of sorts. Both Milind Soman and Ranveer Shorey does their part full justice but again Vinay Pathak stole the show. Watch it if you want to watch a good comedy........boy!! Indian cinema needs more of these.
