Hum Saath Saath Hain, Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, Dil Chahta Hai, RHTDM, NTJNH, Kal Ho Na Ho, LOC - are some movies of the recent past where Saif Ali Khan gained recognition. But all these movies had at least one more lead hero besides him. Yes, there was 'Ek Haseena Thi' released just recently but there he played the role of a villain. After a long time, he gets to play the role of a solo hero in a movie with the icing on the cake being that it is a Yash Chopra presentation. Rani Mukherjee, who is vying at the number one slot, is the heroine opposite Saif while Rishi Kapoor (who has shed a lot of weight in the recent past) makes a sort of comeback. Reputed film critic Kunal Kohli gets a second chance by the Chopra camp to wield the megaphone after lower than expected response to 'Mujhse Dosti Karoge' a couple of years back. Aditya Chopra, who has been surprisingly lying low after his last hit Mohabbatein, handles the production department whereas favorite Jatin Lalit composes for a biggie after some time. Prasoon Joshi, who has been on the music scene for quite some time now, gets a big break to write the lyrics for this mushy love story about the opposites - 'Hum and Tum'!
An excellent song begins the journey of the album - 'Ladki Kyon Na Jaane Kyon'. A sweet little conversation song between a girl and a boy who are trying to establish their supremacy over one another, it is a ched-chaad song with a difference primarily due to witty lyrics by Prasoon Joshi and interspersion of one liners by both Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherjee that are sure to bring the house down. Another plus are the vocals by Shaan (who can now easily claim himself to be Saif Ali Khan's singing voice) and Alka Yagnik who does extremely well in sounding like a naughty 19 year old. An instant hit that is bound to be popular in all age groups - especially the kids who will soon be seen crooning this one.
'Chak De' is a youthful lively track about living life to the fullest by ignoring all the worries of the world. A racy track, it is sung by Sonu Nigam and Sadhna Sargam who do well in this westernized track. The song seems to be tailor-made for Hrithik Roshan who has danced to the beats of many a song like this before. It has to be seen how Saif Ali Khan gyrates to this one.
In the title song 'Hum Tum', that arrives a bit late in the day, Alka Yagnik is as convincing in her mature vocals of a lady as she did for a teenager in 'Ladki Kyon'. As is the tradition in all the Yash Chopra movies where there is at least one mushy romantic melodious track, 'Hum Tum' also boasts of this soulful melody that is composed very well by Jatin Lalit in their trademark style a la their numbers in Yes Boss, Chalte Chalte and many more. A song for the lovey-dovey hearts, it also appears as an instrumental to be played to your sweetheart on a rainy'n'intimate evening.
'Gore Gore' is a racy track that follows thereafter and it is again back to the ched-chad mood of cross gender, this time purely from a girl's point of view. Alka Yagnik croons as a teenager once again who is complaining about the all the fair looking guys who show a rosy picture to the girls but turn out to be non-committing when it comes to settling down and getting married. A lively number again, like previous tracks, it is bound to have nice picturization and gloss and hence will get noticed.
'Yaara Yaara' continues in the same vein as the previous track when it comes to the overall mood of the album, which is throughout lively and entertaining. A duet by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan where this guy has fallen deep in love with the girl and is proposing his love; while this girl is teasing him for this act of his, it keeps you well engaged during it's entire duration.
Like 'Ladki Kyon' gave a kick start to the album, it gets a just ending with a rap-raggae-bhangra track 'U-n-I, Mere Dil vich Hum Tum', which has every reason to be popular the day it arrives on the music channels. A guest track produced by Richi Rich and sung by Veronica and Juggy D, this youthful racy track composed by Veronica herself justifies the money's worth for the album. Catering to disc hopping crowds, it has all the ingredients to be noticed and liked! A hit track! Music of 'Hum Tum' justifies the claim that when it comes to the music of a Yash Chopra film, there are no comparisons. Extremely peppy and trendy, the music of Hum Tum is bound to get popular with each passing day. Add to it the great times that both Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherjee are having at the box-office off late, there are no reasons as to why both the musical sales as well the movie tickets sales shouldn't take a flying start.
So what do you think, what would you rate the music on a scaling of 1-5 star?😉
Now in what ways does this movie remind you of Pooja and Ronit?
BLOOPERS!
| How can Saif's sling bag in the Ladki kyon song, dry so fast considering Rani threw it in the water just minutes earlier ago. |
| Rishi Kapoor gives Saif Ali Khan his Nokia cell phone to call Rani Mukerji but when Saif calls her house, he€™s holding a Sony Ericsson model |
| Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji litter Amsterdam with eatables, yet the 'municipality' of Amsterdam doesn't mind. Correct me if I€™m wrong but Amsterdam is in Europe and not India. |
| When Rani Mukerji and Kirron Kher return to Mumbai, Jimmy Shergill receives them and drops them at her aunt's house. How did Saif Ali Khan land up there at midnight when he hadn't known the address earlier? |
| Why wasn€™t Saif Ali Khan's hand bleeding even though he smashed the glass in the washroom? |
😆😆 I love Bloopers, dont you? Do you remember any bloopers from this movie?
MOVIE REVIEW
By IndiaFm
Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar started a trend in the 1990s. After the super success of D.D.L.J. and KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI, film-makers in Bollywood suddenly woke up to new-age cinema, the new mantra for success.
Cinema that is up-to-the-minute in its attitude, yet very traditional at heart. The packaging may be contemporary, but the content is pure, unadulterated Indian emotions.
Kunal Kohli seems inspired by the works of Chopra and Johar and his second outing, HUM TUM, borrows heavily from their works. Of course, the basic plot is inspired by WHEN HARRY MET SALLY [1989; Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan] and the film also brings back memories of Woody Allen's ANNIE HALL [1977], but Kohli has remodeled HUM TUM on the lines of Chopra and Johar movies primarily.
HUM TUM has laughter in abundance, but an undercurrent of emotions continues to move alongside. Now to the crucial question, does HUM TUM work? For those who appreciate romantic comedies for both aspects of the genre [the 'romance' and the 'comedy'], HUM TUM works to an extent!
Karan Kapoor [Saif Ali Khan] works with one of India's leading newspapers as a cartoonist. 'Hum' and 'Tum' are his cartoon characters.
Karan meets Rhea [Rani Mukerji] in an aircraft, en route to U.S.A. They disagree on practically everything; they are complete opposites. So, to put things right, Karan innocently kisses her, which offends Rhea no end. The budding friendship ends on a disastrous note.
Six months later, the duo meet once again in a park in New York. Rhea hasn't forgotten the kiss, so she decides to let the cat out of the bag. Karan loses his steady girlfriend [Shenaz Treasurywala] in the process.
Rhea and Karan continue to bump into each other at various phases of life and gradually become friends.
Rhea goes through some personal tragedies in her life, but Karan stands by her. Karan even tries fixing her up with a friend of his, Mihir [Jimmy Shergill] – with her mother's [Kiron Kher] permission of course – but as with everything else, even this doesn't work out. Instead, Mihir gets engaged to Karan's friend Diana [Isha Koppikar].
But destiny has other plans for Karan and Rhea...
A film that travels three continents [Asia, Europe, U.S.A.] and 8/10 years, HUM TUM is a love story that relies heavily on romance and light moments. Though the storyline is waferthin, the twists and turns in the film keep the interest alive to an extent.
The first half has light moments aplenty. The interaction between Saif and Rani in Amsterdam is truly enjoyable and takes the graph of the film upwards. Even the twist in the tale, when Rani gets married, makes for interesting viewing. Again, the interval point -- when Saif learns of Rani's predicament -- is amongst the high points of the film.
Writers Kunal Kohli and Siddharth Raj Anand have packaged several humorous incidents in the first half. A majority of light moments are sure to be appreciated, although the tongue-in-cheek humour is the kind that would appeal more to the city audiences than the hardcore masses.
The post-interval portions begin on a promising note, but things begin to deteriorate in this half. The story actually comes to an end when the two foes turned friends develop a deep bond, but aren't able to express their feelings for each other.
The journey of the film from this point to the finale is full of hiccups, courtesy the faulty writing. The heated argument between Saif and Rani [at Jimmy Shergill and Isha Koppikar's engagement ceremony] is on a flimsy reason. Strangely, Rani packs her bags soon after this incident and leaves for an unknown destination. Why? Surely, Saif hadn't done anything drastic to deserve this!
Even the climax is not as moving as one would expect it to be – it's clich?stuff. The culmination to the love story is not as convincing as it should've been. Perhaps, the writers ran out of ideas by the time they reached the finale, or may be they must've suddenly realized that the running time of this love story has already crossed 2.15 hours and it's time to head towards the climax zone. Besides, the pace in the second half of the film is extremely slow, which tries the patience of the viewer.
Director Kunal Kohli succeeds on two fronts; he has shot the film exceedingly well and has also extracted fantastic performances from not just Saif and Rani, but also from every character in the film. Knitting animation with the storyline was a novel concept, but it hardly contributes in moving the story ahead. Besides, the locales of Amsterdam, Paris and New York provide a rich visual feast for the cinegoer.
But Kohli isn't completely in form as a writer. The story stagnates in the second half and how one wishes Kohli and co-writer Siddharth Raj Anand would've come to the point fast, instead of beating around the bush and stretching it for another 20 minutes. Besides, the screenplay has two major twists in the first half, but no twists in the post-interval portions. Resultantly, the drama lacks a solid foundation. Even otherwise, there's nothing much to look forward to in the second half.
Jatin-Lalit's music is amongst the high points of the enterprise. The rule of the game is that a love story ought to be embellished with a melodious score and the narrative in HUM TUM does get a definite push thanks to a lovely score from this talented music director duo. While the title track, 'Ladki Kyon', 'Chak De' and 'Gore Gore' sound easy to the ears, the best part is that they're well placed in the story.
Cinematography [Sunil Patel] is strikingly beautiful. Dialoges [Kunal Kohli] are natural to the core.
Casting is one of the film's strengths. It would be hard to imagine anyone other than Saif as the wisecracking Karan. Saif's style is perfect for this role; he makes Karan insufferable and likable at the same time. And, beneath it all, there beats the heart of a caring man. His arresting performance is sure to sky-rocket his fan-following amongst the youngsters.
Likewise, Rani's effervescent personality infuses Rhea with buoyancy, and, later in the film, she too shows a vulnerable side. Rani takes a giant leap as an actor, making you realize that she is amongst the finest actresses of her generation. Not only has Rani looked gorgeous, even her performance is flawless. Even though Saif and Rani's characters are polar opposites, their interaction has a charm and warmth that most film pairings lack.
Kiron Kher is marvellous. Her Punjabi dialect, coupled with her lines in English, is sure to bring the house down. Another lovable performance this! Rishi Kapoor is a delight. The actor gives his role that rare sheen that only veterans are capable of. Rati Agnihotri is first-rate in a small, but significant role.
HUM TUM has a host of guest appearances. Abhishek Bachchan's entry is sure to be greeted well. And his scene with Saif at the airport confirms yet again that he's carved a niche for himself. Jimmy Shergill is another actor to watch. He is perfect in that one scene with Rani, after she has had a heated argument with Saif. Isha Koppikar is adequate. Shehnaz Treasurywala is alright.
On the whole, HUM TUM is a decent fare, topped with captivating performances and mesmerising music. But a slow and not-too-exciting second half dilutes the impact to an extent. At the box-office, the film should fare exceedingly well at multiplexes [it's an ideal multiplex fare] of Mumbai and Delhi mainly, but its prospects at single screen theatres and also at several key centres will be below the mark. Besides, the flow of biggies from next week onwards will make a dent in its business. Its business prospects in Overseas look bright!
