The story progresses, spanning a period of seven years, during which Rhea gets married in the US, is widowed and moves to Paris, struggles to carve her own identity and keeps meeting Karan in unlikely places, including her own wedding, and ends up realising that love is a many-layered thing - as does Karan.

Rani, we presume, stuffed her thinner one into her carryon. Somewhere in Amsterdam, the director or his assistant also suffer from a continuity issue, as Karan's jacket suddenly goes missing. They end up in New York with Rhea hating Karan from the depths of her moral heart (for having kissed her in Amsterdam). The story starts innocently enough: boy (Karan, played by Saif) meets girl (Rhea, Rani) on airplane to New York, have a six-hour stopover in Amsterdam, where they explore the city and manage to sing a song as well. And as we have just seen in the Indian elections, it is the people who laugh last.Īnd so Hum Tum tugs at your heartstrings, makes you laugh and rejoice in the vagaries of loving and losing without losing itself in that abyss that has claimed many a Hindi film: mushy sentimentalism. After all, Kunal Kohli, whose earlier Mujhse Dosti Karoge, was an unmitigated disaster, is in it to make money. Would you like to review this film? Send us your review!īlame it on the box office.

Unfortunately, it stumbles at the tape and becomes just that: a feel-good, mushy thing you wish had ended ten minutes earlier. While it comes remarkably close - by Bollywood standards - to being a sensitive, mature look at the age-old boy-girl relationship, Hum Tum also constantly teeters on the edge of becoming a chick flick.

This is the kind of film that deserves the tag of 'casting coup', bringing together such diverse talents as chocolate of the Seventies and Eighties Rishi Kapoor Rati Agnihotri the versatile Kirron Kher and, of course, the lead protagonists Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji. The entire cast, with the sole exception of a fleeting appearance by former MTV veejay Shenaz Treasurywala, turns in performances that are as close to impeccable. The first thing that strikes you at the end of Hum Tum is that it does an almost perfect job of casting.
