What happens
Teri Meri Kahaani (transl. The story of you and me) is a 2012 Indian Hindi-language period romantic comedy film directed by Kunal Kohli. Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra in a triple role, alongside portray three couples from three different eras. In 1910 Sargodha, they are two star-crossed lovers during the British Raj; in 1960 Mumbai, a popular Bollywood actress and a struggling musician; and in 2012 London, two university students. Kohli conceived Teri Meri Kahaani from the idea of soulmates, showing the strength of love beyond generations by having the same two actors portray all three couples without using a reincarnation theme. He co-wrote the film with Robin Bhatt. Muneesh Sappel created three sets for depicting the different time periods, requiring months of research and detailed designs. Principal photography began in Mumbai in mid-2011 and later moved to London, where it was primarily shot at the Jubilee Campus of the University of Nottingham and Stratford-upon-Avon. Sajid–Wajid composed the soundtrack with lyrics by Prasoon Joshi. The film was released on 22 June 2012 to mixed–to–positive reviews from critics, receiving praise mostly for the performances of the lead pair and their chemistry, the music and the production design, especially the re-creation of 1960s Mumbai, but were disappointed with the story's predictability. Made on a budget of ₹300 million, the film grossed ₹540 million. This film marks the first time Kohli directing a film outside Yash Raj Films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
