... View MoreAjay Devgan's U, Me Aur Hum is an imperfect film. It will never be taught in a film school. Intellectually, you can make a laundry list of the flaws in the film. Cynics will like to point out the similarities between this and some Hollywood films like The Notebook, Iris and Away From Her - all films involving Alzheimer's and memory loss. There are some who have even pointed out that Devgan should have done a scene-by-scene copy instead of a thematic one. I wish you had a magnetic cynic-o-meter at the theaters for these cynics so they would not be allowed to watch the film. U, Me Aur Hum is the realization of Devgan's belief in his film and his conviction in telling a story his way. It is an emotional film and in that sense a very good film. It works because the drama is genuine and Ajay and Kajole are seasoned performers who have great chemistry. There are some who say that Ajay and Kajole have gotten old. Those people are not only cynical but superficial as well. Such people should perhaps invest their money in a copy of Maxim or FHM instead of this film. To the passionate independent filmmaker U, Me Aur Hum would be very inspiring. Devgan has put everything into a story he believed and then put a team of people together who may or may not be the who's who in Bollywood, but who are nevertheless talented. These people have obviously bought into Devgan's vision and what has translated on screen is very genuine, very from-the-heart and very moving. Co-writer Robin Bhatt, co-producer Kumar Mangat, cinematographer Aseem Bajaj, composer Vishal Bharadwaj, supporting cast Sachin Khedekar, Divya Dutta and gang are all to be applauded for their efforts. Special mention to new lyricist Munna Dhiman - seems like another Prasoon Joshi in the making. Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgan - apart from being actor-director-producers - have something else in common: they have always been original in their thinking and tread their own path. They are superstars aspiring to be and remain artists. The coming years in Bollywood are going to be very exciting. The size of the film will not be based on budget or star power, but ideas and heart. Ajay Devgan will also have his part to play in these new 'big' films.
... View MoreTen minutes through the movie I was able to see where it was going and thought "that's my money and most importantly time down the drain".Frankly, the movie is a pain to watch...torture through and through; if you have seen The Notebook...PLEASE FOR HEAVENS SAKE STAY AWAY FROM THIS! I am disappointed! It can't outclass The Notebook for various reasons. Just because you change the settings and make this whole thing full of glam does not mean its different...bottom line...its not marriage/friendship but the movie is about managing someone you love with Alzheimer's, period.My advice don't waste your time...grab The Notebook on DVD and see what real movie should be like.The Devgans think they can get away with nything...what a SHAME! Wake up people!!
... View MoreRating: 4/5!!! Very much recommended!!! I have to say I truly applaud Ajay Devgan's directorial debut. There were moments of great truth and brilliance, and I really appreciated what I felt was a very smart use of symbolic images (watch it and you'll understand).It's truly a remarkable story. I think Mr. Devgan has a talent for story telling. And his cinematographic eye is remarkable. I think he truly understands that a story in film can be (should be?) narrated through images, acting AND words, in an effective combination of the three (MINOR SPOILER here: I loved the juxtaposition of images and dialog on the cruise when Ajay tells Piya about his watch. I felt it was very effective).Very few times I've felt that a character is as real as Ajay, and I really have to say I was very moved by his characterization of a true, flawed and brave human being. My only comments that could be read as a constructive critique, are very minor. One, the quotes at the beginning are somewhat hard to read as the letters come "flying" to their respective positions in the sentence. Also, they deter the viewer's attention from the initial credits (I'd like my name to be read if I'd been part of the crew!) All in all, I loved the film for its beautiful story, use of words, images, acting, music. Kajol as always manages to take us to unimaginable heights through her performance, and you create the perfect platform for her to do so, while embodying perfectly what human love is all about.
... View Moreawful, splendid,and masterpiece u me Ur hum is all about u me Ur hum. here is the reign of not only u, me, or hum: it is all about u me Ur hum(in totality)undoubtedly the best of Ajay and cajole.Ajay once more establishes himself as the most sensitive actor ever.he relives the performance of zakhm!here is the story of a person suffering from Alzheimer's . it is a story of a husband who promises her to take care of her always without any fail. and promises should be kept at any cost.watch it for gentle feeling of romance. amidst all these when almost everything is crumbling especially in the metropolitan: this movie talks about love emotion friendship and everything that is nobler in human life.
