Hum Tum (You and I or Yours and Mine in Hindi) are Karan's characters from a column he does for India Times newspaper which is a big hit for him and in fact, the film starts off with him giving a speech at a press conference for a book about the cartoon characters which he has just written and is a best-seller. Oh and let me also add that there are cartoons included in between many scenes, hence the title Hum Tum with the cartoon characters on the cover. He realises during the course of her engagement and marriage that he is in love with her but can do nothing to stop it. Karan gets the punishment he rightfully deserves and as years pass by he returns to India one day to find out that his mum, a wedding planner by profession is planning a wedding for none other than Rhea, whom he becomes reacquainted with. While in Amsterdam, in the heat of an argument, Karan kisses Rhea and when they arrive in NYC, she is soon to find out that they are going there to meet the same person, her college best-friend who happens to also be Karan's girlfriend. They both irritate each other to the extent that they argue over the slightest things and everything becomes a debate or battle of the sexes. They meet aboard a plane heading to the USA from India and instantly sparks fly, but not the kind you're thinking of. Karan of course is played by the hilariously dashing Saif Ali Khan and Rhea is played by that class-act of an actress called Rani Mukherji. And thank God Karan met Rhea because he was sure to have met something more like GONORRHEA or worse with the way he was girl hopping in this film (a trait that was clearly handed down to him by his dad).

This film was Saif's first solo hit and also it helped push forward Rani's career those days The film is a copy of WHEN HARRY MET SALLY(strangely even MYKSH had a resemblance in parts to that film) even a dialogue is lifted from there The first half is full of fun, though the situations are convenient seen many times before yet somehow things work The twists are well handled and the second half gets more serious but the last few reels are shaky after the heated fight between Saif and Rani things go in a wrong way and the end is too clichéd Direction by Kunal Kohli is decent in parts Music is good Saif does a great job in his role and makes his role likable but it's nowayz National award worthy, that only proves familial biasedness(Sharmila was in the comitee of NA) Rani too does her part very well, she emotes well(nowdays she has done to death crying), she also teams up well with Saif and acts well Jimmy Shergill is likable in a cameo Abhishek too is likable Kirron Kher is likable too(though now her Punjabi act is irritating with the same thing done to death) Rishi Kapoor is too good in his part and also Rati AgnihotriĪs in when Harry met Sally Bollywood style. With thousands of better Indian films out there, I suggest you try something else. Aside from the cute animated sequences, there just isn't anything to recommend this film. What is not formula is making the couple so different and the guy so unlikable that you don't even care what happens by the end of the film. So why, then, have this seemingly smart girl eventually fall for him?! Sure, it took years.but why other than the fact that this is the formula for a rom-com.

I hated his character and just wanted to see him hit by a bus! As for Rhea she seemed smart through most of the movie and wasn't the least bit dazzled by this shallow jerk. How can filmmakers possibly take such a thoroughly unlikable guy and put him in a romantic comedy?! While it's obvious some could accept his boorish behaviors, as the film has a respectable score of 7.1, it completely ruined the movie for me. His attitude towards women is abominable and additionally he's rude, kind of creepy and is stuck on himself. Although chronologically an adult, he still needs to grow up.
Now this certainly SEEMS as if it's the end for this potential couple, right? Karan is a man-child. Three years later, they meet.at her wedding. Several months later, they meet up in New York City and it does not go well. And, during their stopover in Amsterdam, he convinces her (I have no idea how) to explore the town with him*. On the way, he sits next to a pretty lady, Rhea (Rani Mukerji) and incessantly pushes her to pay attention to him. Karan (Saif Ali Khan) is traveling to America.
