Mumbai’s theater screens are set to ignite with Bejoy Nambiar’s latest directorial venture, ‘Tu Ya Main’, a pulsating blend of romance and terror perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day. Starring debutante Shanya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav, this romantic-thriller drops into cinemas on February 13, earning a stellar 4.5-star rating from IANS.
The film kicks off with heart-pounding intensity. Our protagonists, battered and desperate, find themselves trapped in a pool, fighting for survival against unimaginable odds. A swift flashback unravels the chaos: how did this glamorous influencer and ambitious dreamer end up in such peril?
Shanya Kapoor shines as Miss Vanity, a social media sensation whose polished life contrasts sharply with Adarsh Gourav’s Maruti, a street-smart hustler chasing viral fame. Their worlds collide in a whirlwind of flirtatious banter and digital dreams, capturing the fleeting thrill of online romance.
But Nambiar masterfully pivots from lighthearted sparks to sheer dread. What starts as a playful collaboration spirals into a nightmare featuring a ferocious crocodile. The director’s razor-sharp sound design and taut pacing keep audiences on edge, questioning who will emerge alive.
Kapoor delivers a breakout performance, shedding glamour for raw grit in her second major role. Gourav matches her stride, infusing Maruti with swagger, vulnerability, and musical flair that grounds the tension. Supporting turns from Ansh, Parul Gulati, Amruta Khanvilkar’s enigmatic cameo, and Srikant Mohan Yadav’s authoritative cop add layers of intrigue.
Nambiar balances heart-racing suspense with emotional depth, making the crocodile more than a monster—it’s the catalyst for raw human revelation. The hip-hop infused soundtrack, with tracks like ‘Jee Liya’ and ‘Aankhen Chaar’, pulses with youthful energy, amplifying every twist.
Produced by Anand L. Rai and Vinod Bhanushali, ‘Tu Ya Main’ redefines Valentine’s fare, proving love can be as deadly as it is intoxicating. Don’t miss this cinematic adrenaline shot.
