Hum Do Hamare Do

Hum Do Humare Do's interesting premise was clear from the first trailer and thankfully director Abhishek Jain had the wherewithal to expand on that to deliver a heartwarming yet rib-tickling experience overall.

Rajkumar Rao stars as a self-made tech mogul who overcame all odds as an orphan to become successful. He falls in love with Kriti Sanon's character who is seemingly obsessed with family and relationships.

How he endeavors to win over her and her family with a 'fake' set of parents forms the rest of the story. Enter Paresh Rawal and Ratna Pathak Shah, the two best things about the movie.

The two veterans take over as the main protagonists and have us hooked with their banter back and forth and the way they try to hold onto the 'con' as it comes unraveled.

Aparshakti Khurana shines as the hero's hapless yet steadfast sidekick but the funniest lines in the film are still delivered by the titan of comedy-Mr. Rawal himself.

Beneath the funny tomfoolery and slapstick sequences, the film's core message that families come in all shapes and forms should be appreciated.

Hum Do Humare Do is formulaic and a bit derivative but saved by Paresh Rawal and Ratna Pathak Shah's wildly enjoyable performances. Recommended!

Good - Rao, Paresh Rawal, Ratna Shah, Manu rishi, few good comic scenes, music.

Bad - less scope for Kriti's potential, predictable plot, few stretched scenes, few forced comic scenes.

If you ignore the premise of the film, as to why did Rajkumar get fake parents (which is beyond absurd), it's an excellent movie. Every single actor, has outdone themselves. Watch this with your family. Everyone will love it. 😍 Finally, even after watching this, if you don't agree that Kriti Sanon is the best female actor in Bollywood right now, you've got to be biased😏

In spite of attempting to play the family card, that too with a cast of legends (not Sanon), it's average, boring, a drag...could have been presented better.

Banal n boring movie with a typical old wine in a new bottle story with a very unrealistic plot. Could have been humorous at least. Missed opportunity!

My ratings 4/10!
