Tamasha 2015 IMDb Rating: 7.3/10
Tamasha Movie Release Date: 27th November 2015
Tamasha 2015 Director: Imtiaz Ali
On the surface, Tamasha 2015 appears to be a love story set between Corsica and corporate chaos.But if you peel back the aesthetic layers, you’ll find a profoundly introspective film about identity, performance, and the cost of living a predetermined life. It’s about the masks we put on, the roles we play, and the intense need to be accepted for who we truly are.
Tamasha is not just a film. It’s the theatre of the soul.
Plot Summary: Stories We Tell vs Stories We Live
The film begins in the whimsical backdrop of Corsica, where Ved (Ranbir Kapoor) and Tara (Deepika Padukone) meet and promise to keep things fun, fictitious, and nameless. The fantasy is only shattered by reality when they reunite in Delhi, but a romantic and role-playing rollercoaster follows.
Now a corporate puppet, Ved seems hollow and trapped. Tara is devastated and questions why the man who used to roar in Corsica now mutters in boardrooms. This friction causes Ved to set out on a path of rediscovery rather than love.
Tamasha (2015) is a slow-motion rebellion.
Tamasha Movie Cast: Real, Raw, and Radiant
Ranbir Kapoor as Ved Vardhan Sahni – delivers a hauntingly honest performance of a man torn between conformity and creativity.
Deepika Padukone as Tara Maheshwari – elegant, emotionally anchored, and powerful. Her portrayal is every bit the cast queen movie standard: strong, sensitive, and stunning.
Their chemistry? Electric. Their conflict? Universal.

Tamasha Movie Songs – Music That Hears Your Heart
A.R. Rahman’s soundtrack is not background music—it’s soul narration.
Each track reflects the emotional turbulence that the characters undergo:
Agar Tum Saath Ho – the heartbreak anthem that became every lover’s pain
Wat Wat Wat – defiance in musical form
Matargashti – playful madness of freedom
Tu Koi Aur Hai – the anthem of self-realization
Lyrics by Irshad Kamil cut through emotion like poetry on fire.
Masked Smiles & Unspoken Screams in the Tamasha Movie Trailer
The Tamasha Movie Trailer promised a dreamy romance but hinted at something deeper—existential angst wrapped in dramatic visuals. The trailer was misleading in the best way possible: it made you expect one genre and delivered something more profound.
Imtiaz Ali’s Risk-Taking Brilliance in Direction
Tamasha 2015 Director Imtiaz Ali dared to create a film about mental fragmentation, childhood conditioning, and storytelling as survival. While the plot may have confused audiences seeking a standard romance, for others, it was a mirror reflecting the wounds of modern existence.
He turns storytelling into a psychological device and frames love as a trigger for personal awakening. It’s messy, poetic, and maddeningly bold.
Tamasha Movie Dialogues That Cut to the Core
“Main kaun hoon? Yeh decide karne ka power main duniya ko kyun doon?”
“Logo ke samne act karte karte thak gaya hoon main.”
“Tum woh ho jo tum karte ho.”
Every dialogue in Tamasha 2015 is a line from someone’s real journal.

Inside Box Office Take on Tamasha Movie Review
Inside Box Office Rating: (3.5/5)
Tamasha 2015 is a film for the fractured. For the overachievers with burnout, for the misfits hiding behind smiles, for the artists lost in corporate corridors. It speaks not to your logic but to your soul—and sometimes screams into your silence.
It may not be the most commercially satisfying movie, but it dares to whisper truths you’re afraid to hear.
Should You Watch Tamasha?
Yes—but only if you’re ready to meet yourself.
Watch it not as a love story, but as a story of unloving your false self.
It’s not just a movie—it’s a conversation with your younger self.
Tamasha is the theatre where we perform until we finally break character. For box office collection reports, new movie releases, the latest movie reviews, and popular film reviews, stay tuned and follow Inside Box Office!
