 its all about "HUM" & "TUM"

 Khwaaish

Karan(Saif Ali Khan) 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 in a disastrous note. Six months later, the duo meet once again in a park in New York. Rhea hasn't forgotten the kiss, Karan loses his 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. 

The film takes a look at 9 years of our two lead protagonists, Rhea (Rani Mukherji, looking out of this world in her sexy new look) and Karan (A peppy, loveable and confident Saif). They meet on their way to New York from India, where playboy Karan tries to woo Rhea from the get go. Straight from the first meeting it´s obvious that these two would never be able to endure a realtionship together, but never say never. The couple parts after an eventful stop over in Amsterdam, and they continue to meet over the course of the next 9 years. Each meeting is completely different from the last. In New York Rhea catches Karan up to his old playboy ways, then in Delhi he´s organizing her wedding, and then to Paris where a chance encounter rekindles an old flame.

The story sounds boring on paper, but thanks to Kunal´s screenplay and direction the film is enjoyable. First the screenplay; Kohli has written each meeting between the two leads well. Their initial meetings are light hearted and fun, however once they meet in Paris (and there after) the interactions get a tad more serious as Karan tries to help Rhea through hard times. All the while you can see the characters growing and maturing with each meeting. The character developmet is subtle and gradual, but it comes across tremendously on screen. Also worth a mention is Kohli´s direction which is leaps and bounds above Mujhse Dosti Karoge!. The meetings are intertwined with animated sequences where Karan´s comic strip charatcers, Hum Tum, are fighting the greatest battle of all, the battle of the sexes. In essence it´s like having a narrarator, but this method is much more effective. And the animated sequences will go down well with the audience, not only because it´s something new, but also because the quality of the animation is of international standards. Dialouges ensure that the meetings stay entertaining, and give us insight into the characters. One particularly entertaining piece takes place between Karan and Rhea at her mehndi; he extoles the virtues of not marrying citing the fact that most of the worlds historical lovers never married. On the other hand Rhea uses the example of the Taj Mahal, the greatest symbol of love in the world, constructed by a married man for his wife. Cinematography is first class, background music is functional, Jatin Lalit´s score doesn´t provide any catchy numbers but provide a good break to go to the bathroom. The only true fault with the film is that once you´ve seen it, a repeat viewing doesn´t seem all that appealing.

The film really scores with casting. Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherji are such naturals that it seems they are only playing extentsions of themselves on screen. They effortlessly fit into their characters and handle the situations in the film with ease. As a result the film doesn´t require Rani or Saif to stretch their acting muscle, they only kick into performance mode in the last half hour of the film. Rhea and Karan are also charming characters and getting two of our most charming artistes into the roles is a big plus. The chemistry between the two is hot, they make a great pair and their obvious comfort with each other on screen makes one hope they are cast together in the future. The real surprise are the supporters, especially Kiron Kher. We´ve seen her as the mother in countless films, but never like this. As a typical Punjabi mom, she is fantastic, stealing every scene that she is in. Her mannerisms and accent lend a lot to the performance, she never goes over the top and scores very well with the audience. This is definitely a feather in her cap. Rishi Kapoor and Rati Agnihotri as Saif´s estranged parents also do a good job. Kapoor looks the part and gives a nice performance, Rati makes do with the limited amount of scenes given to her. The film is also chalk full of surpise appearances. Jimmy Shergill as Mihir is a complete natural, Abhishek Bachchan and Isha Koppikar make impacts in two scene roles. Shenaz (Ishq Vishk) shows why she may just be a one film wonder.

Hum Tum is wholesome family entetainment with a fresh outlook on the whole love issue. Kunal Kohli does a better job with this second film, he´s obviously taken a lot of time to think this project through and it shows. His direction and screenplay are fresh and entertaining, making this one fun viewing expereince. Saif Ali khan and Rani Mukherji are perfectly cast and play their parts naturally. Luckily they are supported by some seasoned performers who all score higher marks than the leads, and the film is peppered with familiar faces making fleeting appearances. Hum Tum may not be path breaking, but it´s definitely the way to go if you are looking for a few hours of entertainment. This is India´s perfect date movie!

hum-tum is about the eternal boy-girl fight and whether they can be friends or not, do they have to fall in love necessarily?...

the story goes like this, saif is a born casanova and flirt and rani is no-nonsense girl kinds... they meet on a flight and saif tries to woo her and get fresh with her... after a smooch and slap they separate... however they keep bumping into each other over a period of 10 years, and their life keeps on moving... eventually they become good friends... saif has fallen in love with her but is afraid of acknowledging it... rani also realizes her love for saif but some confusion still keeps them separate... finally its happy ending all the way...

overall very good performance by rani, saif, kiron kher and good cameo by abhishek... the music is very good, especially the title track, beautifully picturized... the movie is a very good romantic comedy... rani mukerji looks awesome with her dusky looks and kajal in eyes is just too much :-)... saif excels as a confused and compulsive flirt... i must have watched the movie around 20-30 times :-)...

AFAIR this movie is the first one which came up with good comic strip and I love comic strips.

Music was good. Specially Hum-Tum, a Punjabi remix by Rishi Rich and Veronica, Gore Gore. Saif played witty role.

 This is the movie about overcomplicated simple relation between man and woman. How they always fight on minor things. How they don't like things about each other but still like each other. How they miss each other.

This movie few twists and turns. With some big stars coming in a comeo role.

Overall movie is easy going, funny, emotional, good musical and something to take home.
