U Me Aur Hum - 3/5

Producer , Director and Story: Ajay Devgan
Cast: Ajay Devgan, Kajol,Divya Dutta, Karan Khanna, Isha Sherwani
Music: Vishal Bhardwaj


It was a tough choice between Ajay Devgan's "U me aur hum" and the Roshan's "Krazzy 4" for a friday nite show. Thanks to the concluding school and college exams that has lead to the hoard of hindi releases in last couple of weeks. My first choice was "U Me aur hum" as was expecting a refreshing love story after a series of dramas and comedies. Also the return of Kajol to the silverscreen after a long break has built up more anxiety.

Coming to the story, "U Me Aur Hum" starts of with a refreshing love track between Ajay(Phsychiatrist) and Piya(Waitress) who meet each other in a cruise. The love turns to marriage after Ajay's attempts to change himself according to piya's wishlist. Ajay's tough time with his lady love starts after Alzheimer's disease strikes piya which causes regular momentory memory loss.




Ajay and Kajol bring in their intense performances well supported by Sumeet raghavan( doctor friend) and Divya Dutta. The story to some extent has been inspired by Ron Howard's "The Beautiful Mind" and Peter segal's "50 First Dates". The movie has its share of flaws in terms of elongated emotional sequences with extensive use of Glycerine. Except for the exceptionally good title track and "Jee le", Vishal Bhardwaj's music is a loser in comparison to that of Omkaara, Maachis, Satya and Maqbool. The Background score by Monty turns out to be an average work.

Other notable things in the movie worth mentioning are the brilliant cinematography by Amees bajaj and good direction by Ajay Devgan himself.Ajay has shown a high level of maturity with the use of innovative camera angles that are usually seen in RGV's and vishal's movies.

As a whole "U Me Aur Hum" is a good refreshing love story with some great performance by the lead pair.
