“All love stories make you fall in love, this one won’t,” says the promo of Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya.

Indeed this film is not yet another stereotyped Bollywood love story, which paints the hero in white and the villain in black to portray love as an exalted virtue. Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya is colorful. Colorful because director Rajat Mukherjee has imbued the characters in the film with the real shades. A suspicious wife, her infidel husband and his over-possessive mistress—all, it seems, have been lifted from life among higher sections of the society. Rajat Mukherjee deals with emotions like jealousy, envy, infatuation at all with the adeptness of a veteran. He also touches upon certain vague subtleties. Urmila grooves in perfectly as Riya. She convincingly portrays erratic moods of a person. He bubbly buoyancy will not go unnoticed. Particularly laudable is her depiction of two different shades of a same person. First, as vulnerable as any other girl and later a suicidal, she-of-the-killer-instinct, à la Glen Close in Hollywood hit Fatal Attraction, Urmila gives a power-packed performance.

The Fardeen-Urmila romance is hot and dangerously volatile. They are drawn closer to each other by violent passions at times, but impassive some other time. You can feel the sparks of the passion smoldering between them. But, in extracting performances from Fardeen and Urmila, Rajat Mukherjee fails to explore the marriage angle, neglecting Sonali Kulkarni's character completely. The actress doesn't really have much of a role, unfortunately. It is for a second time Urmila is portraying a character with psychotic shades. Her director is pretty impressed the way she has pulled off her role. Her performance in suicidal attempt scene from a high rise building is par excellence. Her locking horns with Sonali is also of highest order.
