Tumse Achcha Kaun Hai is the story about an honest man from Jaisalmer who goes to Mumbai to become a star singer. Not utterly inventive plot, right? But it could serve as a nice look on India's showbiz. But it doesn't. It rather serves as a vessel for utterly conservative messages. The main one being that this naive boy from the rural area is so pure in his heart whereas the big city and especially its youth is oh so rotten and perverted. Yeah, right.
Nothing against a little social criticism, but this one comes not only heavy handed, it also rings false. It's not the actors' fault. Model Nakul Kapoor looks good in the main role but the dialogue he has to utter is often insulting. I'll not say it's utter crap because there are certain cool songs and at least one sexy dance number - but it doesn't amount to much. There's too much time wasted on this country=good, city=evil philosophy to make me recommend the picture.
And I will not even talk about the ending which has a terrible character change and some terrible "thriller" moments that don't work well. The most insulting thing is what happens to the "evil" character.
I'd give it a 4/10
