Besides, the locales of Amsterdam, Paris and New York provide a rich visual feast for the cinegoer.īut Kohli isn't completely in form as a writer. Knitting animation with the storyline was a novel concept, but it hardly contributes in moving the story ahead. Besides, the pace in the second half of the film is extremely slow, which tries the patience of the viewer.ĭirector 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. 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. The culmination to the love story is not as convincing as it should've been. Why? Surely, Saif hadn't done anything drastic to deserve this!Įven the climax is not as moving as one would expect it to be ? it?s clich?stuff. Strangely, Rani packs her bags soon after this incident and leaves for an unknown destination. The heated argument between Saif and Rani is on a flimsy reason.
#HUM TUM 2 FULL#
The journey of the film from this point to the finale is full of hiccups, courtesy the faulty writing. 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 post-interval portions begin on a promising note, but things begin to deteriorate in this 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. Writers Kunal Kohli and Siddharth Raj Anand have packaged several humorous incidents in the first half. Again, the interval point - when Saif learns of Rani's predicament - is amongst the high points of the film. Even the twist in the tale, when Rani gets married, makes for interesting viewing. The interaction between Saif and Rani in Amsterdam is truly enjoyable and takes the graph of the film upwards. The first half has light moments aplenty. Though the storyline is waferthin, the twists and turns in the film keep the interest alive to an extent.
īut destiny has other plans for Karan and Rhea.Ī film that travels three continents and 8/10 years, HUM TUM is a love story that relies heavily on romance and light moments. Instead, Mihir gets engaged to Karan?s friend Diana. Karan even tries fixing her up with a friend of his, Mihir ? with her mother?s permission of course ? but as with everything else, even this doesn?t work out. Rhea goes through some personal tragedies in her life, but Karan stands by her. Rhea and Karan continue to bump into each other at various phases of life and gradually become friends. Karan loses his steady girlfriend in the process. Rhea hasn?t forgotten the kiss, so she decides to let the cat out of the bag. Six months later, the duo meet once again in a park in New York. The budding friendship ends on a disastrous note. So, to put things right, Karan innocently kisses her, which offends Rhea no end. They disagree on practically everything they are complete opposites. Karan meets Rhea in an aircraft, en route to U.S.A. ?Hum? and ?Tum? are his cartoon characters. Karan Kapoor works with one of India?s leading newspapers as a cartoonist. Now to the crucial question, does HUM TUM work? For those who appreciate romantic comedies for both aspects of the genre, HUM TUM works to an extent! HUM TUM has laughter in abundance, but an undercurrent of emotions continues to move alongside. Of course, the basic plot is inspired by WHEN HARRY MET SALLY and the film also brings back memories of Woody Allen?s ANNIE HALL, but Kohli has remodeled HUM TUM on the lines of Chopra and Johar movies primarily. Kunal Kohli seems inspired by the works of Chopra and Johar and his second outing, HUM TUM, borrows heavily from their works. The packaging may be contemporary, but the content is pure, unadulterated Indian emotions.
and KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI, film-makers in Bollywood suddenly woke up to new-age cinema, the new mantra for success.Ĭinema that is up-to-the-minute in its attitude, yet very traditional at heart. Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar started a trend in the 1990s.
