Tum Milo To Sahi

Watching a (good) movie is similar to sipping a warm glass of tea on a cold rainy day.  It is a wonderful experience, sipping slowly, breathing in the aroma, letting in the essence of the tea leaf through ones senses.  The tea (Tum Milo to Sahi) in my case was accidental and going by the reviews available on the net, I would have never sipped it in the first place.

TMTS tells the story of Lucky Cafe, which is a restaurant plus children's library run by an elderly Parsi woman Delshad (Dimple Kapadia).  Her cafe is not just a cafe for her, she has nurtured it like her own child for many years and has a dedicated band of followers.  Many people who met over a cup of tea at TMTS become life long friends, Amit (Suniel Shetty) and Anita ( Vidya Malvade ~ chuck de goalee) being one such couple.  In the mad rush of life, Amit has become so obsessed with his work, that he will go to any length to usurp Lucky Cafe for his MNC real estate company.  In order to evict Dimple, the MNC hires legal counsel.

Subramaniam, (Nana Patekar), a retired legal clerk, a loner, and an eccentric, whom we are introduced to earlier, steps in to help his foe turned friend Delshad.  Many of the memorable moments in this movie has Subramaniam in the frame, but every one else has given their best shot too.   There is also a budding college romance between Bikram Jit Singh (Rehan Khan) and Shalini Kasbekar (Anjana Sukhani)....

That I skipped the songs in this movie may have increased the aroma quotient and taken me closer to the essence of the movie, something which the reviewers may not have had the privilege to do.  But still, if you are in need of a good tea, you can have it here.

Mmm. I think this was trashed by the reviewers. But I never go by those now. Taran Adarsh of Bollywoond Hungaama over-rates movies and Raja Sen just trashes everything [He even trashed 3 Idiots, DCH and hyped Buddah]

But Dimple and Nana is a combo worth a visit to the cafe. Will go for the DVD today :-)

Thanks Deekay for the tip. BTW, did you watch 'Salt & Pepper'. I loved it and plan to do a review if you aren't doing.
