Hum Do Hamare Do (2021) User Reviews

Just ok.

[rrdeo22 · 7/10 · 29 October 2021]

Good - Rao, Paresh Rawal, Ratna Shah, Manu rishi, few good comic scenes, music.

Bad - less scope for Kriti's potential, predictable plot, few stretched scenes, few forced comic scenes.

Paresh Rawal & Ratna Pathak Shah steal the show!

[nidhunmoviebuff · 7/10 · 29 October 2021]

Hum Do Humare Do's interesting premise was clear from the first trailer and thankfully director Abhishek Jain had the wherewithal to expand on that to deliver a heartwarming yet rib-tickling experience overall.

Rajkumar Rao stars as a self-made tech mogul who overcame all odds as an orphan to become successful. He falls in love with Kriti Sanon's character who is seemingly obsessed with family and relationships.

How he endeavors to win over her and her family with a 'fake' set of parents forms the rest of the story. Enter Paresh Rawal and Ratna Pathak Shah, the two best things about the movie.

The two veterans take over as the main protagonists and have us hooked with their banter back and forth and the way they try to hold onto the 'con' as it comes unraveled.

Aparshakti Khurana shines as the hero's hapless yet steadfast sidekick but the funniest lines in the film are still delivered by the titan of comedy-Mr. Rawal himself.

Beneath the funny tomfoolery and slapstick sequences, the film's core message that families come in all shapes and forms should be appreciated.

Hum Do Humare Do is formulaic and a bit derivative but saved by Paresh Rawal and Ratna Pathak Shah's wildly enjoyable performances. Recommended!

The Intent was there, but the execution failed to deliver.

[SoumikBanerjee1996 · 6/10 · 30 October 2021]

What is family? Is it only about sharing an identical surname? Or to live under the same roof? Or is it something that goes way beyond the definition of our conservative norms? Does it have any impediments? Any premeditated barriers set by society? And what would it all amount to if somebody decides to take a different route all of a sudden?

Abhishek Jain's 'Hum Do Hamare Do' attempts to pose a stern challenge against the very foundation of a well functioning Family. The notion itself begs a lot of valid queries and without a doubt has a significant value tied to it.

Even though not all parts of the audience would come in agreement with such fairly questionable viewpoints and it could also come off as naive and childish at times but I'm pretty sure that nobody would deny that it's an honest attempt at executing things in a slightly different manner.

Do you know what the actual problem is though? That there's not been proactive support from the Writing. Not to mention, due to the same reason, it falls short of bringing us to a tangible verdict. Dialogues barely comply with the broad spectrum of emotions and feelings this film hoped to achieve.

Performance-wise, no one outshines heavily as an individual; it rather comes across as a collective effort from the whole ensemble who did just enough to help us navigate through the entire duration.

In short, 'Hum Do Hamare Do' is serviceable only as a pastime and has just enough entertainment quotient to somewhat appease the mainstream audience. However, there's not much in it for the intellectuals though!

For true filmy

[badaamit · 7/10 · 29 October 2021]

This movie is showing importance of family, bonding with family & people can't live with family, overall this was a good movie if you love your family you can feel the movie😍😍😍

A complete family movie 👌🏼

[sourya-mukherjee · 7/10 · 29 October 2021]

If you ignore the premise of the film, as to why did Rajkumar get fake parents (which is beyond absurd), it's an excellent movie. Every single actor, has outdone themselves. Watch this with your family. Everyone will love it. 😍 Finally, even after watching this, if you don't agree that Kriti Sanon is the best female actor in Bollywood right now, you've got to be biased😏

Hum Do Hamare Do Is An Above Average Film But A Nice Blend Of Comedy, Drama and Emotions. A Perfect Diwali Bonanza For Family Audience!

[SAMTHEBESTEST · 6/10 · 29 October 2021]

Hum Do Hamare Do (2021) : Movie Review -

Family dramas are very common in Bollywood but you can't deny the fact that this is one of the most loved genre in India. It isn't just about entertainment but that emotional connect too. Those days are gone when bollywood used to make films like Hum Apke Hai Kaun and Hum Saath Saath Hai, and this new generation filmmakers and audience, both wanted a change. Abhishek Jain's Diwali offering 'Hum Do Hamare Do' may not be a direct answer to those popular 90s flicks but it's certainly a nice attempt on its level. This new-age family dramas people always talk about will get better sooner or later, but let's not miss some real fun now. Hum Do Hamare Do has everything you expect from a Mainstream Family Entertainer but moreover it's that one film which actually tries to convince you about family values without using blood-relations.

The film is about young lovebirds Dhruv (Rajkummar Rao) and Anya (Kriti Sanon) who decides to get married. The problem is, Dhruv is an orphan and Anya wants to marry a man who has a perfect family of her dreams. A hilarious ride begins when Dhruv brings fake parents who happened to be lovebirds in their younger days. Two parallel love stories of two different generations are configured to provide you hilarious gags. Prashant Jha's screenplay makes it easy for you to understand things but you do smell what's coming later. That family melodrama is avoided to keep the humour alive and that's the best thing about Hum Do Hamare Do's screenplay.

This film becomes different from other family dramas because it has young brigade teamed up with experienced actors like Paresh Rawal and Ratna Pathak Shah. Whatever Paresh Rawal couldn't do in Priyadarshan's 'Hungama 2', he does it here and how. That old Paresh Rawal we adored in films like Hera Pheri, Hungama, Bhagam Bhaag is back with the bang. Purushottam Mishra is by far his most humourous character recently. Supporting him, Ratna Pathak Shah is just brilliant. Her expressions and dialogue delivery looks so real and it doesn't beocme spoofy at all. Kriti Sanon and Rajkummar Rao makes a lovely chemistry. The major comedy scenes have gone into Paresh Rawal's kitty but the supporting cast is equally responsible to make them look hysterical.

Abhishek Jain and Deepak Venkateshan's writing is good but not flawless. You can easily notice some blunders here and there but as we know family dramas are meant to have few loopes so that you can create a filmy experience. The best thing done by Director Abishek Jain is that he didn't leave it lose anywhere except for the songs. He couldn't battle out that stereotype notion of bollywood family dramas that you have to have two songs before interval and two after that. The film loses some grip there but those two family songs are surely engaging. A glamorous number which appears with end credits is tappy enough. The film may look slow at the beginning but that's because he has something fantastic to show later. It keeps you busy for two hours so there'll be no moments to have a little nap. Overall, Hum Do Hamare Do is funny, dramatic and emotionally well balanced. There's something in this film which makes it a recommendable product that two generations in the family should watch together.

RATING - 6/10*

Banal n boring!

[UmeshAditya · 4/10 · 1 November 2021]

Banal n boring movie with a typical old wine in a new bottle story with a very unrealistic plot. Could have been humorous at least. Missed opportunity!

My ratings 4/10!

Interesting concept but too predictable!

[mystiquebhusri · 8/10 · 29 October 2021]

First of all Ratna Pathak and Paresh Rawal are phenomenal in this film! They literally stole the whole show for me.

Kriti Sanon does a great job too, and as an actor she has improved a lot.

Although I was expecting a lot from Rajkummar Rao as he is phenomenal usually but felt a little flat in this film!

Overall the story is new and unusual and quirky but towards the end gets too predictable and the climax stands weak!

But it's a one time watch for sure and will entertain you!

Decent Family Entertainer

[nairtejas · 6/10 · 30 October 2021]

For what it's worth, Hum Do Hamare Do (Our Two for Us Two) is a decent family comedy drama where Bollywood again focuses on the concept of a family. There is some novelty here as the central character is an orphan trying to create a family of his own, by planning to marry the love of his life. With ample humour garnished throughout the plot, and despite the predictable end, I felt the film had its heart at the right place. Watch it.

Terrible, immature and boring

[jos-dsouza · 1/10 · 30 October 2021]

A boy refuses to tell the girl that he is an orphan and gets fake parents to cover up. And justifies it arrogantly and after being rejected, still gets her. This is the typical Indian male chauvinist type movie. Forced comedy, pathetic script. Just ignore this.

I loved it

[samkitjain-39264 · 10/10 · 29 October 2021]

I don't want say that its exceptional or outstanding but it is something that made me happy. Its good family drama and rom com mix up . Its just madr the mood refreshing. Though the acting of each cast is 10/10.

One time watch

[rish2006 · 6/10 · 3 December 2021]

Not that the movie was bad, but it was completely. Predictable.

+ Decent Romance Comedy Decent entertainment

- Predictable.

Screenplay could've been better.

Absolute amateur movie making

[dasguptashilpa · 1/10 · 31 October 2021]

It's unbelievable that we get to evidence such poor movie making even in 2021. Lack of depth, poor logic flow and no thoughtfulness in the storytelling. Waste and stereotyping of such immensely remarkable talents.

Would have given 9 stars but no......

[Biswas_ · 7/10 · 30 October 2021]

This film deserved the theater! A wholesome light hearted family entertainer that could have easily been enjoyed by your entire family at theaters but sadly it's on OTT.

I personally found it quite enjoyable and when I find a film enjoyable, I ignore loopholes but then once the film ended, I was left with some bizzare uncomfortable questions that made me question the entire films plot only and this is what I found not right (one reason why critics are finding the film not upto the mark). Hence I reduce the stars to 7.

average

[sameerlodaya · 6/10 · 29 October 2021]

The movie is just a average one as compared to other movies of rajkumar and kirti

the actors specially pareshji and ratnaji have played a good role followed by rajkumar and kirti..the direction is just average as compared to dinesh vijans movies.. the story is normal and predictable..

its colorful and entertaining movie.

Good fun, great family watch!

[jkt2006 · 7/10 · 30 October 2021]

This movie was way better than I expected. All actors are good in their roles but Ratan pathak steals the show. Each time she is on screen she brings her charisma and everything she says or does turns magical and realistic at the same time. It's a great family watch. We all enjoyed it!!

Watch 7 phere instead of this

[archanaagarwal-22661 · 3/10 · 30 October 2021]

All the goods actors gone into waste..it feels like they are acting because it doesnt looks close to any reality..my advice would be skip it..do something else with your valuable time..dont invest in the film.

The true meaning of family

[shebazkhan-35639 · 10/10 · 29 October 2021]

I have to say that this is one of the best movie in recent time. This movie shows you the real meaning of family. Must watch movie for everyone.

The concept of the movie is so good.

A Sweet Movie A Weak Script

[reiya-32720 · 6/10 · 29 October 2021]

A movie with a lot of promise and excellent star cast and a great plot but a poor script removed a lot of sheen from it, Raj kumar did his best to lift the movie, Paresh showed glimpses of his past but now I think he has lost his Midas touch, Ratna Pathak played a cameo, Kriti needs to learn acting quickly otherwise a beautiful plastic face is difficult enough to watch.

Third class movie from good actors

[johririshabhmca · 1/10 · 31 October 2021]

Rajkumar Rao and Kriti Sanon should do the films with good scripts.no script, not a single scene where we see comedy, similar kind of acting by Aparshakti, very big upset.

Great

[jamilm-69567 · 10/10 · 29 October 2021]

Beautiful movie. If you want to watch love,fun in a natural way,then this is perfect. Movie is a art..so seeing others reviews,dont make any perception. May be you find it more entertaining.

Decent Family Entertainer Paresh Rawal&Ratna Pathak Shah Rock It🔥

[ayaanbhojani · 7/10 · 31 October 2021]

Was a great entertaining film with good performances, really dnt understand y it's getting negative reviews. I really enjoyed the film as it was entertaining and also had all the elements such as a bit of comedy a bit of romance n also emotion's,so I enjoyed the film. I rate it a 7.5/10 stars. A good family entertainer with no any vulgarity.

This movie makes you question what are we telling to today's youth

[priyam-26306 · 2/10 · 29 October 2021]

Extremely disappointed by the movie.

This makes you question what are we preaching as a society

Lying to a girl and her family for marriage is ok.

It's ok to set the foundation of your relationship on a lie.

The whole movie mocks the suffering of so many families who have been victims of such cases.

And on top of that there is no self respect of the girl, she agrees to marry this lier at the end.

Extremely disappointed.

Decent Family Entertainer

[rahulwadhwani-52617 · 7/10 · 31 October 2021]

#OneWordReview #HumDoHumareDo Decent .Good heartwarming movie. Performance of Paresh Rawal Ratna Pathak Shah was too good. Rajkumar rao & kriti Sanon done a decent job, Aparashakti Khurana was good too. Comedy was good. But I loved the Family part the way they present Family Values, the importance of family it adds so much emotions throughout the movie. Climax was Excellent. Definitely a must watch movie. #HumDoHumareDoReview 3.5/5*

Orphan hires parents to have a family marriage

[madanmarwah · 6/10 · 31 October 2021]

Two aspects of the movie are I found interesting.

1. It is about an orphan Rajkummar Rao hiring out fake parents so that they can talk to the parents of his lady love Kriti Sanon about their marriage. A comparatively new idea for a film. ( However It would have been socially relevant if he had selected an old couple from an old age home instead of hiring them through a shady character) 2. A connected question to this issue is also discussed in the movie though superficially. How do you define family ? Is it just a group of people with the same surname even though they may be at daggers drawn ? Can't others who live and love together but have different surnames be called family? Point to ponder.

Be that as it may, the movie itself is nothing much to write home about. A romcom which finds it difficult to raise laughs through dialogue or situations and it just about manages to entertain. Rajkummar, an orphan spends his childhood washing vessels in a roadside Dhaba (owned by Paresh Rawal) and later grows up to be a successful businessman. Kriti on the other hand is also an orphan been brought up by an uncle. She develops a soft corner for Rajkummar since he teaches street kids. She is looking forward to affectionate in laws with a pet doggie.

A question one can ask the director. Why didn't Rajkummar just tell Kriti that he is an orphan and wants to marry her ? Where was the desperate need to get fake parents ? Both Paresh Rawal and Ratna Pathak are good as the fake parents. An interesting comic subplot shows a guy providing on rent a complete bridegroom party complete with a sexy sister in law, a sulking uncle, a bad tempered aunt etc etc.
