§ Director: Ajay Devgan
§ Starring: Ajay Devgan, Kajol
§ Released: 11 April, 2008
A complete disaster…In his directorial debut, Ajay Devgan not only killed his serious action star appeal but also ruined the established charm & charisma of his talented wife Kajol. Well even if I want to be lenient for Ajay and like millions, I like Kajol for her acting capability but still, I must admit that this movie will sure ruin your evening completely. Truth be told.
Sorry to say, Ajay & Kajol – a dynamic couple of Bollywood, really could not deliver the magic in their latest home production in film - U, Me, Aur Hum.
.
Ajay Devgan & Kajol both trying hard, infact too much to impress. So much so that more than 60% of the film has close-up of Ajay & Kajol. Imagine the impact of close-up shots throughout this movie of this aging couple. It is a recipe of disaster and so was the movie. In some of the scenes, you really would want to run away from the theatre.
Kajol is from a reasonably rich background and was raised in New Jersey(USA). The funny part is that she ends up becoming a waitress in star cruise where she meets, so called smart & dashing(of course it’s a joke), psychiatrist doctor Ajay. It is a love at first sight. The movie takes an ugly turn as Kajol(Pia in the film) suddenly develops Alzheimer’s and she begins to forget all that matters in her life The only consolation in the film are friends of Ajay & Kajol. Music was boring with most of the audience failing to understand the lyrics and had to read the subtitles!.
To summarize, it’s a pathetic movie. It drags so much that you really start to feel, why I spoiled my Friday evening…what a boring start to a weekend!. If you are a hard core Ajay-Kajol fan, then you may want to see this movie, but I would not rate it more than 2 on 5 stars.
Cheers!
