Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha

 

One can feel the strongness of emotions throughout the movie. Mature love stories are generally rare in Indian cinema, which adds a sense of novelty to this film. The film beautifully defines how a relationship should be, showcasing trust, understanding, and emotional growth. The entire cast delivers superb performances, bringing depth and authenticity to their characters. While some viewers may complain about the movie’s slow pace, this allows for a richer exploration of its themes.

Directed by Neeraj Pandey of  whose directorial debute A Wednesday was a block buster, the film Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha  follows a couple whose love story spans 23 years from 2000 to 2023, delving into the emotional depth and evolving dynamics of their relationship over two decades. Krishna gets involved in multiple murders - or does he really, why and how - to know this, you have to watch the movie. He  is sentenced to life imprisonment. This leads to Vasudha getting separated from him and marrying Abhijeet. After 22 years when Krishna is released from prison  getting pardon, he yearns to meet Vasudha but do not want to. It culminates in one final meeting between Krishna and Vasudha. What happens then is also interesting.

Jimmy Sheirgill as Abhijeet, Vasudha's husband have enacted his insecurities very well. Ajay Devgn as Krishna, Shantanu Maheshwari as young Krishna and Tabu as Vasudha and Saiee Manjrekar as young Vasudha undoubtedly has good chemistry and well played. 

Although the term literally translates as "Where Was the Courage in Others", it does not reflect the true sense of the phrase. Thought well made, the film bombed at the box office. Made with a budget of 100 crore, it could collect around 12.5 crores.
