Anya’s family had ended in an accident, after which she too was adopted by her uncle.

But how to get married? He doesn’t even have a family. Neither the address of the parents, nor the whereabouts of relatives. And the girl whom he loves wishes that wherever he goes, he should get a full family. The biggest reason for this is that Anya’s parents pass away in childhood and she is pampered by her uncle and aunt. In such a situation, despite being an orphan, Anya never felt the lack of parents. Only Anya’s wish is that the house she goes to should find her mother-in-law like her parents. Now this desire of Anya proves to be a headache for Dhruv. And the whole drama of the film revolves around this headache. In this, he is helped by his friend Santi (Aparshakti Khurana) and his uncle (Paresh Rawal). Now Dhruv has to create his own fake family to marry Anya. For this he gets Purushottam Mishra (Paresh Rawal) to be his father and Deepti Kashyap (Ratna Pathak Shah) to be his mother. However, Purushottam and Deepti also have a different story of their own.

The Review and Analysis

The story of the film starts off very well. Director Abhishek Jain has previously directed many Gujarati hit films. The screenplay of the film is written by Prashant Jha which is not as strong as it could have been. The first half of the film is fast but the second half is a bit cumbersome because you already know everything. Then it seems that the film was hastily ended with a happy ending.

Hum Do Hamari Do’s ground is small but the writer-director has kept the pace in it. The film doesn’t stop anywhere. You can see different layers in its texture. The stories of Rajkumar-Kriti Sanon and Paresh-Ratna Pathak Shah run parallel. Among them, the mix of Kriti’s uncle and aunt’s family is good. Manu Rishi Chadha’s role as uncle is interesting and he is successful in grabbing the attention of the audience here. The events of marriage in Bollywood films add new colors to the story and in Hum Do Hamari Do, Sanand Verma is brilliant in the role of Shadi Lal, who arranges for all the relatives from the rented parents. However, the writer-director could not do full justice to his character. He could have emerged as a brilliant entertainer here. Shadi Lal’s role seems like filling the villainous void in the story. By the way, even this villainy does not emerge in full color. Circumstances are mostly villains in Hindi films now. Due to people feeling bad on small things and raising flags against films, the discussion of bad people on screen is slowly coming to an end. For cinema, this change in adverse circumstances is like underlining.

Hum Do Hamare Do Review: The Performances

Talking about acting, Rajkumar Rao does not seem to be falling short of anywhere. Rajkummar Rao lives up to his character without much effort. Kriti Sanon has also done justice to her character. If seen, the life of the film is Paresh Rawal and Ratna Pathak Shah, who after a time start looking like lead actors in the film. The chemistry of both is amazing in the film. Aparshakti Khurana has been typecast as the hero’s friend. However, he has played his role well. Sanand Verma, Manu Rishi Chadha and Prachi Shah Pandya are well suited for supporting roles.

Hum Do Hamare Do film comes with constant ups and downs. In which the roles of Rajkumar and Kriti are romantic comic while Paresh and Ratna Pathak Shah work to create sensations in it. The acting of all the actors is good. As Rajkumar’s friend, Aparikshit Khurana has done his job well. The supporting cast has played an important role here in shaping the film. Rajkummar Rao continues to carve a niche for himself in such family films, while Kriti has started experimenting with formulaic roles in her early career. This is his second consecutive film after Mimi, in which his acting has flourished.

The Final Words

Overall it is a good comedy film. It can be seen on weekends with the whole family. The strong side of the film is its star cast. What a great star cast. Rajkumar Rao, Kriti Sanon, Paresh Rawal, Ratna Pathak, Aparshakti Khurana, Manu Rishi, Prachi Shah and Sanand Verma. When the cast of the film is like this, then it is not wrong to expect high voltage drama and comedy. But what happened to the hope, let’s talk about it on the weak side. Abhishek Jain has entered Bollywood after making three successful in Gujarati. All his three films in Gujarati till now have been in discussion and he also won awards. In Hum Do Hamari Do, he reveals that he knows how to make masala family entertainers. His direction is tight and the film progresses at a slow pace. The story-screen binds despite being traditional. Camera work is good. The flute song playing along with the credits at the end is beautiful to hear. Its choreography is charming.
