Across two generations, the settled Kedar and Mitali and the younger Aarav and Antara rediscover love through life's turns. The film argues that lasting love means choosing the same person again and again. Directed by Dharmesh Patel, it stars Hiten Kumar alongside celebrated author Kaajal Oza Vaidya.
Taaro Thayo sets out to prove that love stories do not end at the interval of youth. Director Dharmesh Patel threads two romances together, the settled Kedar and Mitali and the younger Aarav and Antara, to argue that true love means falling for the same person again and again across a lifetime. It is a gentle, unfashionable idea, and the film commits to it with real sincerity.
The casting is its quiet coup. Hiten Kumar and celebrated author Kaajal Oza Vaidya play the older couple with a lived-in tenderness, while Sunny Pancholi and Vyoma Nandi handle the younger pair and Hitu Kanodia lands an effective cameo. Writing for the Times of India, Soumitra Das gave the film three and a half stars, singling out its relatively untouched subject in Gujarati cinema, a strong second half and performances that carry the pivotal scenes. A tuneful score by Ripul Sharma and Abhijit Vaghani, led by Saath Choote Naa, adds to the warmth, and Das noted that the stronger second half is where the film truly finds its feet.
The film's 8.6 on IMDb reflects how well it played with the audiences who turned up, even as its roughly 1.18 crore gross underlines how quiet the January 2025 theatrical run was. It is unhurried, occasionally sentimental, and not built for viewers who want incident over emotion, with a first half that takes its time settling the two couples into place. But that patience is also the point, and as a mature, generation-spanning romance Taaro Thayo is a satisfying watch that trusts its audience to sit with feeling. It ends, fittingly, on a note of quiet contentment rather than a twist.
Verdict
A mature romance that spans two generations with warmth and sincerity. Slow but satisfying, and anchored by a tender veteran pairing.
