Akele Hum Akele Tum

Akele Hum Akele Tum is a emotional family drama. A remake of Hollywood Classic Kramer Vs Kramer with Dustin Hoffman. Aamir Khan plays the struggling father who has to look after his son and work at the same time, after his wife suddenly decides to leave the house. Aamir Khan delivers a Powerful and Brilliant performance. Manisha Koraila is the women you will hate in a average role. You hate her because her character is so selfish, that she walks out on her kid. Akele Hum Akele Tum is longer then Kramer Vs Kramer, with more added story lines. Some great scenes between the father son relationship. One great scene is when the kid request's a present a little expensive. Aamir tries ever so hard to get the money, but ends up arrested. His son waits hours and hours, till Aamir comes home, to tell his son he failed. The kid understands and Aamir starts crying. Great direction from Hit Director Mansoor Khan of Qayamat se Qayamat Tak, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar and Josh. A must see

The film could have been much tighter. The characterization's are very poor and the director doesnt give a proper build up for Manisha's passion for her career and for her leaving the family. The only saving grace is the kids performance. He's definitely the scene stealer. Aamir khan and Manisha renders a mediocre performance.

There are several films which flop but actually are good films and the vice versa

AKELE HUM AKELE TUM was a remake of KRAMER vs KRAMER but yet is a good film

The film however was rejected by audiences and the same audiences loved the overrated RAJA HINDUSTANI(1996)

AHAT was released in 1995 when Aamir gave 2 flops like BAAZI and AATHANK HI AATHANK and a hit RANGEELA This film is a nice movie and realistically displays problems of marriage and how the couple fights for the kid something rehashed in RISHTEY(2002) which flopped too

The movie is well handled, there are some song and dances in between but mostly the focus is on the story The film moves on a gentle pace and touches your heart The courtroom drama is brilliant and less over filmy then most court scenes The climax is good too Mansoor Khan does a great job as a director Music is very good

Aamir Khan acts his part brilliantly, he is simply superb and understated Manisha too performs well and suits her part Amongst rest Mushtaq Khan is good(for once i saw him in a non funny role) Paresh too excels as the lawyer while Neeraj Vohra leaves a mark rest are good

Although there weren't any english subtitles I totally understood the movie because of the wonderful acting! The story was good and I like the last song Aamir Khan sang " Why did you break my heart? Why did we fall in love? Why did you go away,away, away..." Aamir Khan is a very skilled actor that did a great performance all through the movie, he expressed the characters' emotions perfectly. Whether the character be mad, happy, or sad. Manisha Koirala was absolutely beautiful, she did a spectacular job. From the beginning of the movie it caught my attention, that I remember there were absolutely no "dull moments" ever! Everyone should see this movie with or without English subtitles!

Akele Hum Akele Tum is a vivid memory of childhood, and to be honest I didn't enjoyed it back then as it was too emotional and dull to be entertained but the year 2016 turned the fate of this film in my verdict as I loved it a lot. It happens to be hot and humid and I spending my summer vacation at my grandma house, and to pass the miserable day, I searched the old boxes of my DVD set and got this film to rewatch with a new mindset and perspective, and while watching the film I realised that there are films which are not celebrated as they should have for the package they deliver and Akele Hum Akele Tum is one of those under-rated films of Aamir Khan which was way ahead in terms of content and creativity. It was a simple story of young love birds who got married and then suddenly their lives go haywire and their marriage heads towards separation. There were many themes in AHAT but I like the transition of Rohit Kumar to fatherhood and Aamir Khan nailed it.

He carried plenty of emotions on screen but I like the helplessness, sentimentality and passion of a father he delivered for his young son in the film, there were some standout scenes, which proves the meatle of young Aamir Khan, and that was the first glimpse of him being a Mr. Perfectionist as he chooses a role which was multi-dimensional unlike his fellow actors who were busy doing massala, comedy and action films, Aamir was courageous to choose a script which was devoid of any romantic/action scenes, though it was full of societal theme like failure of young couples to make compromise in parenting or to hold the institute of marriage.

From scene 1 to last scene, Rohit Kumar was a totally changed personality and Aamir showed the growth of a actor, which wasn't stagnant!

For the evergreen music, traditional direction, realistic dialogues, I'll give this film perfect 10! One of the gems from Aamir Khan to his audience.
