Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele Review:

Harish Vyas and Susan Fernandes have written the film. If you leave aside the sexual orientation of the characters of the film, at times it reminds me of Imtiaz Ali’s very popular film ‘Jab We Met’. The portrayal of the characters Mansi and Veer is reminiscent of Geet (Kareena Kapoor Khan) and Aditya (Shahid Kapoor).

Of course, the events of the two films are different, but their reasons seem to be similar. At the beginning of the film, it seems that the story will go on to talk decisively on the issue of social acceptability of gay and lesbian people, but the issue seems to be moving towards the climax and the film goes on a different track and wanders off.

The biggest highlight of this film is the acting of Zareen Khan. Zareen’s film career, which debuted as a traditional heroine in Hindi cinema from Salman Khan’s film Veer, may not have been very impressive, but Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele also presents a different dimension to Zarin’s acting alone. Zarin is very comfortable in Mansi’s unfettered character. His impudence and recklessness are the life of this film, which was fully supported by the hesitance and sensitivity of Veer, the exact opposite character of Anshuman. The supporting cast of the film has performed well.

Dialogues are easy with common conversational humor. The songs of the film adapt to the circumstances and enhance the impact of the visuals. In particular, the use of ‘Bulla ki Jana’ in various emotional situations is good. There is a halt under the direction of Harish Vyas. There is no hurry to show the scenes. Due to this, the film’s departure is affected in some places, but this laxity is taken into account by the actors.

Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele Rating:

• 3 / 5 ( ⭐⭐⭐ )
