Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha Review: Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Saiee and Shantanu led romantic-thriller is a good way to test a person's mental endurance

Plot:

As a seasoned lifestyle expert with over three decades of experiencing the rich tapestry of cinematic artistry, I must confess that my journey through Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha left me feeling more like a captive than an audience member.


In the narrative of “Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha,” two distinct timeframes are interwoven: one in the year 2001 and another in 2024. The character Krishna, who spent 22½ years behind bars due to accusations of murdering two civilians, is on the verge of freedom. However, he’s filled with apprehension about encountering his old love Vasudha upon release. She is portrayed by Saiee Manjrekar in her younger version and Tabu in the present day. The question lingers in Krishna’s mind: Will he find it within himself to meet Vasudha outside the jail on the day of his release, or will he continue to remain confined?

Over time, we come to comprehend the unique relationship between Krishna and Vasudha, a bond that eventually led them to become star-crossed lovers, tragically separated by circumstance. To delve deeper into their heartrending tale, watch Auron Mein Kaha Dum Tha for insights into Krishna’s arrest and the way in which Vasudha spent her days, longingly awaiting his return.

What Works for Auron Mein Kaha Dum Tha

In simpler terms, the film Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha boasts some of the finest songs this year. Among them are “Tuu” and “Ae Dil Zara,” which are both beautiful and deeply emotional. The on-screen pairing of Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee Manjrekar is adorable, but that’s about all that’s good to say about the movie.

What Doesn’t Work for Auron Mein Kaha Dum Tha

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is a dragged mess which will certainly test your patience. It is an editing horror. There’s nothing that’s redeeming about the film apart from the songs and the youthful chemistry of Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee Manjrekar. The story is bland and the screenplay is lethargic. The climax neither disappoints nor surprises because you just don’t realise when it comes and when the movie ends.

The movie’s overall quality is disappointing, and at times, you may even wonder if it features an A-list actor. Poorly chosen background music only adds to the feeling of discomfort as it seems misplaced within the film. Ajay Devgn and Tabu’s star power called for a more exceptional production than this one, something completely different from the movie “Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha” ultimately turned out to be.

Performances in Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha

Ajay Devgn, portraying Krishna, gives a solid acting effort, but the movie’s lackluster quality overshadows his performance. The same can be said for Tabu; her reliability as an actress is evident, yet she struggles against this story’s sluggishness. Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee Manjrekar excel in their parts, making them more captivating compared to the rest of the film. Jimmy Shergill does okay, but his role lacks opportunities for him to stand out. The performances of other supporting actors vary from average to poor.

Final Verdict of Auron Mein Kaha Dum Tha

The movie “Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha” is an unchangeable flop. The phrase from the film, “We were our own enemies, others didn’t have the courage” perfectly encapsulates those who willingly chose to engage with this film’s controversial theme.
