Tu Mera Hero -- For the Die Hard Bollywood Lovers



Tu Mera Hero ...... For Die Hard Bollywood Lovers.


Shashi Sumeet Production's Tu Mera Hero being aired on Star Plus is surely a stress buster and a feast for not only bollywood lovers but also die hard romantics.

The show has a fresh story, light comedy and a refreshing romance. Paanchi played by Sonia Balani is a die hard romantic. She loves to love and she loves being loved. She is a hard core admirer of  romantic movies of Bollywood so much such that she idolizes a fairy tale life of being unconditionally loved by her life partner. The maker have very sweetly depicted the characterization of Paanchi.

The love of his life whom she falls in love with at first sight -- Tittu ( Played by Priyanshu Jora) is an interesting character on Indian Television. He is not the regular guy but still is a guy next door. He is lazy to the core so much that he prefers sliding along the railings instead of using the steps for climbing the stairs. He loves comforts. He is a total opposite of  Paanchi who likes doing all her work on her own.

Yet Tittu is a charmer. His charm resides in his generous thoughts and his clean heart. He is a sweet heart at heart. How can any one not fall in love with such a guy then? So does Paanchi. 

Recent episode of the show has clearly depicted how the show is for the audience who craves to watch a light hearted comedy and also for the audience who love Bollywood. Each and every episode has some instances of popular romantic movies specially the evergreen symbol of love "DDLJ". 
Tittu and Paachi's romantic encounters , their coming together in one frame is always accompanied with DDLJ songs in the background. How romantic can it get. 

Indeed Tu Mera Hero is a relief for those who are tired of watching the same drama on television. Kudos to the makers for coming up with such a concept.

Paanchi is a hopelessly romantic girl. She falls in love with Titto (played by Priyanshu Jaru). Titto is a charmer with a large heart and moral values. Only problem with him is his laziness which ceases to go. He is comfortable in his world of comforts without having any inclination for forgoing his comforts inorder to enter the real world. Paachi falls deeply in love with Titto. Titto's father gets him married to Paanchi considering her as the only individual who could make his son a responsible person. His father is oblivious of  the fact that Paanchi is unaware of Titto's level of laziness. It would be interesting to watch how Paanchi would turn her prince charming into a responsible prince charming.
