Hindi cinema is truly evolving, with newer themes being attempted at amazing regularity. In that respect, Phir Milenge makes an attempt to spread awareness about HIV/AIDS and how it affects the lives of those who get infected.
Tamanna [Shilpa Shetty] works in an advertising agency. Her fresh, innovative ideas have resulted in the agency bagging the prized campaigns. She has a younger sister, Tanya, a radio jockey. At her art and theatre school reunion, Tamanna meets old-time friend Rohit [Salman Khan] yet again, a person she was always attracted to. In the romantic settings of the college, love blossoms between Tamanna and Rohit and they spend some intimate moments together. A few months later, Tamanna gets to know about her HIV + status. Her life comes to a screeching halt. Tamanna tries to get in touch with Rohit, but in vain. He is untraceable. Tamanna loses her job due to her HIV + status. But she decides to fight for the gross injustice meted out to her. Unfortunately, none of the lawyers are ready to argue the case. Later, Tarun [Abhishek Bachchan], a young lawyer, comes to her rescue. Will Tamanna set her life back in order? Does Rohit come back? Does she forgive Rohit?
Phir Milenge belongs to Shilpa Shetty completely. She delivers, what can be rightly called, the performance of her career. She conveys the pain and the emotional upheaval through her expressive eyes, making it amongst the most memorable performances the year has seen so far. Salman Khan is hardly there for 15-20 minutes in the film. Despite a miniscule role, the actor leaves an impression. Abhishek Bachchan's performance is first-rate, but he ought to take care of his appearance. Director Revathy deserves a pat for attempting an issue-based film. But it's evident that she hasn't done complete research and updated herself on the issue. Music is standard. On the whole, Phir Milenge may appeal to a small chunk of multiplex-going audiences.
