“Teree Sang” is
a mild concoction of “Love Story”, “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak” and “Juno”. Although all these movies concentrated on specific issues, this ‘kidult love story’ apparently was supposed to deliver a message to the society addressing the nuances of teen pregnancy. But, “Teree Sang” starts with a love story between Maahi (Sheena Shahabadi) whose rich parents seem to have no time for her and Kabir (Ruslaan Mumtaz), the son of a poor auto rickshaw driver (Satish Kaushik).
To complicate things Maahi gets pregnant and the couple elopes to set up a cottage and a life of their own. The film goes haywire here, the plot holes begin to appear and the focus on the complexities of pregnancy disappears, leaving a poorly told and half heartedly acted tale in its wake. Lack of depth in characterisation, and lazily written scenes ultimately whither what may have looked an interesting and bold concept on paper. Obviously, making a sensible film about sensitive issues is no child’s play.
