Synopsis:

It is huge – it is massive, but is the publicity and not the movie! Initial part of the movie is great and gripping but as the movie starts rolling it becomes sick as any C grade film minus the great visual colourful treat.

The story is set in rural Rajasthan, it revolves around Vir (Salman Khan), the only son of a rich Thakur (Sharat Saxena) and Thakurain (Nishigandha Wad). Vir gets involved with a cute and innocent looking girl called Muskaan (Diya Mirza) who talks more and thinks little. Vir keeps getting different visions – he sees different things like he is war, or he is shooting someone. All this even starts getting him in trouble like a small pup once makes him feel that a huge dog is trying to attack him. Vague visions haunt him at night. He also experiences a series of deja vus. Apparently, Vir had hurt himself gravely in childhood. As a result he suffers from temporary amnesia. Though that is not the reason for his unexplained encounters. But there is no explanation to his behavior as he cannot remember his past, nor do his parents try to help him.

Vir is all set to marry Muskaan when the bad guys attack Vir. The truth comes out as dad narrates the truth. Thakur had found Vir in a river while he was paying respect to his son (Arbaaz Khan) who lost his life at the Kargil War.

He has a gory past waiting for him in Mumbai. Clueless about his lost identity, Vir comes to Mumbai and traces the missing links to Mehak (Sushmita Sen) and Inder (Inder Kumar). There is also a police commissioner (Mukesh Rishi) gunning after Vir's life.

There is a very interesting scene they show from the past where Sushmita in trying to shoot Salman down. We will leave rest of the mystery for you guys to watch or else there will be nothing to watch in this movie.

The movie is gripping till the first half but the 2nd half has its bad elements. The pace for the 1st half though is slow but you are intrigued to know Salman’s past as it could also be Slaman’s twin brother or look-alike. Inspired on The Long Kiss Goodnight (Geena Davis), Tumko Na Bhool Payenge may strike the right chord with the masses.

Diya looks sexy throughout and wears teeny- weeny back open blouses all the time and for girls there is Salman with his bare chest!

Glitches are too many like they actually show Salman calling from a public telephone booth to Rajasthan when you can only make calls in Mumbai. Salman has to grow with his fights, though some of them are great once expects few new style and tricks but it turns out to be the typical dishum dishum (sound included too!).

The 1st half they keep the Hindus happy while in the 2nd half they have given importance to Muslims this way it may attract the masses. Salman even reads the Namaaz and tries to send a message that Hindu-Muslims need to stay like one. Most of the songs have brilliant choreography with good visual effects. Being colourful, the songs are a great treat. Credit also goes to Sajid Wajid and Daboo Malik.

On the acting side Salman is all right – he looks depressed like he should be to fit his character. Diya looks good but fails with expressions. Sush is her usual self chilling – this one is more or less like Filhaal 2!

Mukesh Rishi (Police Commissioner), Jhonny Lever (dhongi baba), Sharat Saxena and Alok Nath (Rahim Chacha) do justice to their characters. Rajpal Yadav and Inder Kumar are a let down.
