First I like to thanx the movie maker team of Hum Tum. After such a long period Saif did a very fantastic and romantic role. I think this movie is the big hit in this year and also it will take many awards.
The role of Saif like a Tom Kruz is very good. he did a great job.
now about Rani, Rani is all time hit. she can do all types of roles. guest appearence of abhishek is also good.
This movie is basically targetted to youth generation.
Alright, let me admit it - I am partial to the fellow. Saif Ali Khan is one of my favourite actors, and that is the only reason I wanted to watch Hum Tum in the first place. Frankly, the promos hadn’t appealed to me and the music didn’t sound too impressive. As I remembered that Saif is Kanika’s favourite, too, I stared at the seat beside me. I am sure that the fat lady sitting beside me must have wondered why I was staring at her, but I couldn’t help staring at the seat, wishing that it was occupied by someone else.
Hum Tum is Kunal Kohli’s tale of how the two genders are radically different. Through the eyes, or rather, pencil of a cartoonist Karan Kapoor (Saif Ali Khan), the director shows how the two genders can interpret each thing differently. A tale which outlines Karan’s relationship with Ria Prakash (Rani Mukerji) over a span of a decade.
As expected, the film relies on two basic premises - comedy and mush. What’s commendable is that the director matures both aspects with ease and wonderfully blends the two. Contrary to his previous directorial venture, the unpalatable Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Hum Tum is a joy to watch as it makes you roar with laughter and at the same time feel for the characters.
While the film boasts of a number of special appearances, unlike Kal Ho Na Ho (giving this example as it was the last flick which had so many special appearances), none of them look forced. Each of them move the story forward in some way or the other.
The music may have sounded ordinary when it was released, but the songs fit into the narrative quite easily. Ladki Kyon and the title song are the pick of the lot.
Saif Ali Khan is not the life of the film - he is the film itself. A dazzling performance reaffirms my belief that his comic timing is unparalleled - be it Hollywood or Bollywood. Unlike the Sandlers and Carreys of this world, he does not need to shriek, make faces and make sexual gestures to make the audience laugh. On the other hand, although you often feel that his character is just like his previous films - quickwitted and carefree, watch out for the other non-hilarious scenes; a special mention of some of his scenes with his father which are beautifully conceptualised.
Rani Mukerji gets better and better with each film. The two basic contrasts in her character after an incident changes her life are brilliantly portrayed.
Rishi Kapoor is back. Although he still threatens to occupy the entire screen due to his gigantic presence, his acting as Saif’s father is simply delightful. Unlike some recent flicks of his where he has appeared disinterested, Rishi puts in his heart and soul into the character and gives you nostalgia aplenty with references to Bobby, Dimple and the song ’Main shaayar toh nahin’.
Kirron Kher plays a cariacturish Punjabi mother. Although she gets on your nerves in the beginning, she does manage to make you laugh in some of the latter scenes.
