I Am Alone, So Are You...

I am a fan of Anshuman Jha, so I naturally enjoyed watching Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele (I Am Alone, So Are You), a drama about two homosexuals trying to find love in a world where homosexuality is still taboo. Because he lacks the courage to come out in front of his father, Veer (Jha), runs off to Delhi to find solace in his longtime lover who is married to someone else. There he meets Mansi (Zareen Khan), a lesbian who is getting ready to go and meet her flame in Himachal Pradesh. Off they go together and so forms a strong bond of companionship between them as the drama takes a romantic turn and gives food for thought about genderless relationships and the true meaning of love.

The writing is a bit off in some parts, but Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele manages to take off slowly. At times, you wonder what's so funny that the characters are laughing, and it's mostly the weird dialogues that seem artificial in this low budget setting. I also felt Khan has lost her touch in acting or she was not putting much efforts. And then there is this scene where the duo rush off in their jeep without paying a dhabewala. But despite its flaws, I enjoyed the film, its soundtrack, and overall mood brought out by Jha and Khan. (Grade B-). TN.

(Reviewed during its Australian premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM).)

Poorly made - Half Baked Movie - The story looked promising and would have been good -> in form of a 45 minute short film.

Final Verdict: Skip it.

Just wanted to write a review so anyone who judging a film by its name or poster wont miss it. Even i had some low expectations towards this movie, but this one suprised me. I dont say that it's a great movie, but the effort entire team put and that different concept should be praised. Yes, there are some flaws in the script but can be forgiven. Dialogues are good. Editing should be rewarded. Performance wise anshuman done a brilliant job as usual and you will see Zareen in a never seen before avatar. I really want to see her talent in different kind of movies because she is not just a "Show Girl". And what about music/songs??? Dont ask.. Just feel it. Who am I to give rating to such a good music package?

Guys, You should give this a try... Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele!!!

Sometime people needs other person just to understand themself, their feeling, to understand themself who they actually are.

With the right person he/she/it can be complete emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.

May be this is love.

Overall a good and different kind of film.

Acting could have better some places.

But amust watch movie.

Yukkkk making thrash in the name of gay liberation is a fashion today but atleast the lead guy need to be decent he is so sorry ugly can't stand for a minute looking at him.
