Plot

Tanya (Esha Deol), a successful writer, accidentally finds out that she is adopted.

The film is all about her expedition to spot her daddy dearest and what she experiences associating with those three people. Did she finally discover her real parents? Who, among the three, who is her dad? Watch the movie to get the answers.

Star Performances

Esha Deol does an okay job playing Tanya, although she shines at places. Chandan Ray Sanyal is believable as her best friend, and Arjan Bajwa is cute as Tanya’s love interest. Rishi Kapoor and the Turkish actress playing his wife are a delight to watch. Dharmendra is hilarious as the mafia leader. The crackling chemistry between him and Hema Malini is so evident. The duo’s scenes with Esha come out realistically, thanks to their offscreen family relations. Vinod Khanna, Farooq Sheik, and Deepti Naval do justice to their roles.

Analysis

Hema Malini wears many hats and does a laudable job. The production values are high. The direction is okay. The cinematographer has given some stunning visuals, especially of Turkey. Pritam’s music should have been a bit more evocative to match the film’s mood. The film drags in parts but is a sweet and emotional ode to the parenthood.

What’s there?

1. Fine Star Cast
2. Sweet Story
3. Stunning visuals

What’s not there?

1. Crisp Editing
2. Better Music
3. Better Actress for the lead role

Verdict

Watch Tell Me O Kkhuda for an honest attempt to showcase emotional bonding between parents and children. This is not as perfect as Mamma Mia! But the effort is praiseworthy.
