By Dinesh Kamath
Tera Intezaar

Tera Intezaar (English: Waiting for you) is a 2017 Bollywood musical romantic film, directed by Raajeev Walia and produced by Aman Mehta and Bijal Mehta. The film stars Arbaaz Khan and Sunny Leone in lead roles.
The film's plot seems simple - Arbaaz's character paints the woman of his dreams and that's the character of Sunny Leone. They both fall head over heels in love but Sunny’s past catches up with her, which makes it a lethal deal for Arbaaz, who goes missing. Sunny Leone is adamant to find the love of her life only to discover all this is not as it seems. Will true love find its way? The film appears to be a Sunny show all the way. It also features a dance number, where she dances "like a Barbie doll". Between a painting that paints itself and a car which suddenly breaks down after all four tires burst at the same time, you get the sense of some paranormal activity. Khan is nowhere to be found while his lady is dealing with abusive men, which makes you wonder — Is he responsible for the notoriety?
The film has Arbaaz Khan, Sunny Leone, Arya Babbar, Sudha Chandran, Salil Ankola, Hanif Noyda, Richa Sharma, Bhani Singh and Gowhar Khan.
The music of the film is composed by Raaj Aashoo while the lyrics have been penned by Shabbir Ahmed. The film has songs like "Intezaar" (Title Song), "Barbie Girl" , "Khali Khali Dil", "Mehfooz", "Abhagi Piya Ki", "Abhagi Piya Ki" (Version 2), "Mehfooz" (Reprise) and "Mehfooz" (Version 2).
