Humko Deewana Kar Gaye

Humko Deewana Kar Gaye
(translates as "You Made Me Crazy")
2008
3/5 stars

Kumar and Kaif
Aditya (Akshay Kumar), who is engaged to Sonia (Bipasha Basu), travels to Canada for his job.  While there, he makes the acquaintance of Jia (Katrina Kaif); they first become friends, then fall in love.  However, Jia is also engaged, to powerful and possessive industrialist, Karan (Anil Kapoor).  When a misunderstanding comes between Jia and Aditya, they both return to India to plan their separate weddings, while still in love with each other.

The plot is mostly predictable, but still generally enjoyable.  The music ranges from okay to good, but choreography is well below average; this is a shame as Kaif is an excellent dancer but had no chance to shine.  Kumar and Kaif had good chemistry together, and she wasn't as stiff as she has been in other movies.  Kapoor was simply perfect for his role.  The ending, to me, was rushed and somewhat weak.  All together, the movie was a nice time-pass, but not spectacular.

Cast also includes Helen, Bhagyashree, Mahesh Thakur, and Gurpreet Ghuggi.
