Tamasha by Tara
Story of Tamasha from the perspective of Tara.
Tamasha is a story of Ved.
It is a story of his childhood, when he exactly knew that he was born to be a storyteller.
But his father didn’t want this for him and he did engineering to became a Product Manager in a corporate.
He now hides all his emotions, his true self, he do not know what are feelings and he became a robot.
We all have Ved inside us. We all feel that we are someone else. But this is not the story of Ved, this is the story of Tara.
Do we also have Tara inside us?
What kind of person is Tara?
Tara is a kind of person who falls in love very easily.
She is emotional, sensitive and a pure hearted soul.
She falls for anyone who gives her respect, safety, smile and let her be herself.
In the movie, she goes for a vacation in Corsica, where she falls for Ved.
Ved who she knows as DON.
She knows nothing about his family, where he lives or whether they will meet again.
When she spends time with him, she get emotionally connected, she also promises him that they won’t meet again.
But after returning home, she is not able to forget him.
Maybe she keeps thinking that he is different, How he make her feel alive and how he will be a good partner.
That is the problem with people like her, They fall easily and deeply.
Everyone keeps telling her that it is just a crush! but she knows, it is not.
Because she is the HEART
She break up with her boyfriend, who apparently was a good person.
For 4 years, she cannot forget Don. She can’t fight with her emotions and cannot move on.
She doesn’t know where he is, if he loves her? if he remembers her? what if he is married? Is she in deep love? But it was only 7 days!!!
How stupid I can be, she thinks.

After 4 years, she visit Delhi for an assignment.
4 Years in Movie are depicted as a 4 minute song, but in reality she had years of doubts, loneliness, sadness, and self reflection.
As luck have it, she find the cafe of which stamp she found in Don’s book.
She gets excited, Do she have a chance to meet him ? Should she wait?
Anyways she has waited for so many years, no harm in waiting while she is in Delhi Right?? (Agh, Heart)
She keep waiting for him in the cafe and one day..
She meets him.
Her happiness knows no bounds, finally!! He is here!!!! She can see him.
She tries to act cool, not to look desperate. Because many people have told her to be like that. To maintain the mystery.
She tried but failed.
Because people like her cannot pretend, they just speak out their emotions, They are like an open book and tells about their feelings again and again.
Now she knows that his name is Ved. (Like Rig Ved.)
They started talking , apparently he does not have a girlfriend or a wife! yayy!
She starts thinking that universe have bring them together and they were meant to be each other.

When they starts going out Dates, she gradually realise that he is not Don.
He is a gentlemen but does not make her laugh. He is just like a normal man, made by society. He has manners but does not feel deeply. He has money and stable job but doesn’t enjoy life.
She starts questioning all her decisions now:
I broke up with my boyfriend for this? Was everyone right? Was she a fool to listen to her heart? She spent 4 years of her life thinking about THIS guy???
Maybe she misjudged him? Maybe her heart was wrong, she was wrong.
Maybe he is real Ved, maybe he was not a DON, idiot TARA !!!
While she is processing all this emotions, Ved proposes her for marriage.
She is uncomfortable, she was the one who took the effort to find him, and didn’t she want this? To be with him forever??
But she is stuck, she needs to fight with him and also with herself.
She tells him that he is not what she thought, he is not the DON but VED.
And she rejects the marriage proposal.
Ved tries to convince her but Tara is a believer.
She believes that he is not being his true self.
She feels that society made him Ved, but actually he is the Don.
She believes that society has made him a robot, but he is a human.
But after this incident, her whole belief system is shocked. She used to believe in her heart, but what did she get?
On the other side, Ved is also having a conflict between his heart and brain.
After Breakup, Ved is acting all cool and tells her that she don’t know everything and she has no right to create conflict in his mind.
He tries to go back to his normal, practical life.
Seeing Ved like this makes Tara super emotional.
She feels guilty. She doesn’t want him to suffer, after all she loves him, right?
So, she calls him again and again, even though he does not pick up.
She loses all her self respect.
Finally after some calls, Ved agrees to meet her. She begged him to stay and take all her words back. She keep saying sorry to him for making him suffer like this.
But he doesn’t budge and the iconic song of “Agar Tum saath ho” plays in the background, which is the direct reflection of conflict between Heart and mind.
Even after he doesn’t want her in his life, she still follows him and sits on the road waiting for him. Maybe because she thought she has come too far to go back now.
But he just goes away, ignoring her.
Everyone would say — How stupid Tara was. She lost all her self respect for a guy. She definitely lost her mind. Yes she did, because she was the heart.
Ved and Tara now have their individual journey of self reflection.
While Ved needs to listen to his heart more, Tara needs to listen to her mind more and they both need to balance their logic and Emotion.
Tara is depressed, but she starts working on herself again. She becomes more logical, starts loving herself more and become more focused.
Alexa, play Safarnama for Tara : )
Ved has his own journey which is reflected in the film.
And finally, when they became right for each other… they meet again. Don 2!
Everyone likes happy endings so, Ved and Tara meet.
In real life, they might not find each other again, but they will find themselves for sure.
