As far as films go, reincarnation is passé. Amnesia
is in. It you do not believe us, watch the latest Salman
Khan film, Tumko Na Bhool Pahenge, and you will know
what we are talking about. The
slick flick makes use of all the ingredients to narrate
the different stages of Mahavir Pratap Singh's (aka
Ali) life. Two women are brought into both his pre-amnesia/
post-amnesia stages.
 Vir
is the son of Thakur Punya Pratap Singh and is in love
with Muskan (does the name ring a bell?), daughter of
Thakur's friend Chowdhary. Till his tragic past haunts
Vir, his is oblivious to the fact that his is an adopted
son of the Thakurs whose own 'soldier' son was lost
in the 'Kargil War'. Vir goes to Mumbai to find out
about himself, his haunting past and his brother. Rewind
to the past: Though an orphan, Ali is happy to live
with his brother Azan and friend Inder under the care
of Rahim chacha. Of course, the shooter has Mehek, his
sweetheart, by his side.
 After
winning the shooting competition, Ali and Inder are
approached by the Mumbai police commissioner to work
for the police and eliminate the underworld gangsters.
These shoot-outs fetch them Rs. 25,000 each. But, the
danger lingers. While trying to escape from a crime
designed to implicate him, someone shoots Ali who loses
himself to amnesia. On reaching Mumbai once again, Ali
witnesses brother Azan's murder. Someone is out to kill
him too. He has to find out the culprit before he himself
is victimized.
Till you reach this stage of the film, time just realize
that by and you suddenly realize that it is past two
hours, and still you have no clue about the hero's identity.
In the last ten minutes, the secret gets revealed -
slowly and steadily.
 Salman
Khan, Diya Mirza, Sushmita Sen essay the roles of Vir-Ali,
Muskan and Mehak respectively. Sharad Saxena seasoned
performance. Johny Lever, Arbaaz Khan, Sadashiv Amrapurkar
and Alok Nath appear in guest roles. Except for a couple
of well-choreographed songs - Hum ho gaye tumhare, Idd
mubarak and Teri choodi kyon khanakti hai - the song
and dance sequences make you restless. The movie is
quite violent and brutal. If you can bear all the gory
details particularly in the second half, the film makes
for an interesting thriller.
