Hum Aapke ... is basically a case of real talent gone to waste. The plot is interesting and even intriguing but at the end, the film disappoints, even by Hindi movie standards, with a stagnant, slow-moving screenplay and overdone performances.
To give credit where credit is due, Kajol's performance is great and she could be said to have carried the movie on her back. Her character was portrayed beautifully and complemented everyone else's. The biggest flaw in the movie was the ending, which was over-dramatized and took away from the movie instead of adding to it. At the end, Kajol's character still remained misunderstood. From the beginning, the audience is led to believe that Anil is finally going to come around, but it wasn't really clear how his character felt and how and when he finally did come around. It seemed as though he decided to go back to his wife, not because he fell in love with her, but because of the gratitude he felt towards her, which does not address the void Kajol's character was feeling throughout the movie. A potentially good plot gone to waste.
The comedic subplot was repetitive and completely unrelated to the movie; hint: keep your thumb on the fast-forward button.
The songs are mediocre at best, and the first one (which includes a Hindi rap) is off the charts as far as horrid music goes. This movie is worth a watch only if your other choices are unavailable.
