Hum Tum

Hum Tum
(translation: "Me and You")
2004
4/5 stars

Steady and responsible Rhea (Rani Mukerji) and happy-go-lucky ladies' man Karan (Saif Ali Khan) meet as college students, and end up not liking each other.  A few years later, they meet again at Rhea's wedding preparation, and find each other a bit more tolerable.  In another few years, they meet after Rhea is widowed, and become fast friends.  Karan wants to find a husband for Rhea, but instaed falls in love with her himself, knowing she couldn't be happy with a man like him.

Loosely based on Hollywood's When Harry Met Sally, the plot is enjoyable and fun.  Khan and Mukerji have nice chemistry and act well together.  Both were believable in their roles, and aged and matured their characters nicely.  Rishi Kapoor has a minor role as Karan's father, and is fantastic.  The music is average, as is the choreography.  Overall, though, the film is an enjoyable romantic comedy with just enough drama to make it interesting.

Cast includes Kirron Kher, Rati Agnihotri, and a cameo by Abhishek Bachchan.

This film is available on Amazon Prime.
