New Delhi: Love, nostalgia, and parental responsibility come together in director Sameer Vidwans’ latest film. This romantic drama takes audiences on a dreamy European ride before tugging at the heartstrings back home.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri plot

Roomie, a budding writer trying to distance herself from her father, meets Ray, a wedding planner, at a bookstore — an encounter that changes everything. A chance meeting takes them to Croatia, where their love story quietly begins. But just as romance blooms, an accident back home forces Roomie to return, leaving her to question love, marriage, and familial duties.

Director Sameer Vidwans attempts to blend modern-day relationships with traditional Indian family values, presenting what feels like a “90s-style romance in a modern setup.” The heart of the story lies in its emotional core — as Vidwans highlights — “the importance of parents and emotional responsibility” as the film’s most touching theme.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri performances

Kartik Aaryan once again proves his charm as Ray, delivering a “sincere performance that comes naturally to him.” Neena Gupta shines as Pinky — a lively mother whose zest and warmth brighten every frame. Her dance to the evergreen hit Choli Ke Peeche is pure nostalgia. Jackie Shroff, in a special appearance, adds grace and emotional weight with the nostalgic touch of Tu Mera Hero.

Croatia’s breathtaking visuals add charm, making the film a visual treat. However, the first half feels slow, “almost like a Croatia tourism video rather than a love story.” The romantic connection between the leads remains underdeveloped, leaving audiences asking — when did they actually fall in love? While Kartik impresses beyond looks, Ananya Panday remains average, and most supporting characters fade into the background.

Ultimately, Vidwans’ film delivers an emotionally sincere message — a reminder that in love and life, parents matter too. Strong visuals and old songs keep the film afloat, even if its storytelling sometimes struggles to find depth.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri final verdict

 Essentially, the film is a typical 2010-style rom-com, which entertains the audience, but its storyline lacks coherence.  Also, the Twitter reviews by the fans call it a cheap DDLJ. While some claim that it has ruined their Christmas.
