Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin

I am great fan of Billy Crystal, De Nero and Amitabh. And would have loved to see desi version of Analyze This. But the way this movie has churned into - its a piece of crap. There are so many holes in the movie that make you wonder what made great actors like Amitabh, Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan and Aishwarya agree to be a part of this project. Wonder why was Sanjay Dutt cast as the don and Amitabh as the Doctor!!! Have we forgotten Deewar or Agneepath? Does it stand anywhere close to Vaastav?

And added to that we have such stupid songs "Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hain" which only David Dhawan could conceive. As for the comedy, excuse me!!! Pathetic is not the word. And the way Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan try to outdo each other, please come up with something better.

I mean, you have such a great star-cast and such a weak story! Aptly said "All foam no beer".

An ideal star-cast would have been Amitabh (for Robert De Nero's role) and Naseer (for Billy Crystal). And cut out the formula romantic track.

"Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin" is an Indian remake of the Hollywood film "Analyze This". However, at three hours, the remake is considerably longer--as they've added other subplots that were not in the original film. While I often like long films, the remake seemed padded and stretched considerably.

Munna Bhai (Sanjay Dutt) is a gangster who is feared by everyone. He's a really nasty guy, yet inexplicably, when he sees a beautiful woman (Kamal--played by Aishwarya Rai) and she yells at him for his violent behavior, he's smitten and loses his mojo. His mojo, in this case, is his ability to kill and threaten others--which is a severe detriment to a gangster. So, he seeks professional help from Dr. Rastogi (Amitabh Bachchan). Soon, Munna Bhai comes to rely on the Doctor and even follows him when the Doc goes on vacation! What Munna and the Doctor don't know is that the beautiful woman what Munna is so smitten with is the Doctor's sister! This is a serious problem as the sister is supposed to marry either a family friend's son or Raja (Ajay Devgn). However, when Munna discovers this, the answer is simple--kill or threaten all of her suitors! What can the Doctor and his sister do to avoid becoming part of the family?

My biggest complaint about this film is that is isn't funny--a SERIOUS problem when it's supposed to be a comedy. Likewise, the romance isn't very romantic. My advice is watch the original or a different film of any of the stars, as all four are very talented and have done better things. Overall, the film was too long and unsatisfying to make it worth three hours of my life, though it's not a horrible film--just a bit disappointing and overly long.

*I noticed one reviewer called it a 'Desi' film--and Desi refers to the culture of the region of India and the surrounding countries in case you were curious. Also, throughout the film they kept calling a semi- automatic pistol a revolver. A revolver is different, as the bullets revolve in a round cylinder. Not a major mis-translation, granted.

The movie starts up good with some good laughs but it just falls apart and drags on, as soon as Ajay Devgan character was introduced the move was dead boring and the story was going no where. I had to fast forward most of the movie so i can end it and free myself from the painful torture. I was glad my Wife fell a sleep during the movie otherwise she would have killed me for picking this rubbish. I feel the movie could have concluded in 30 mins but they had to drag the movie on for three hours with pointless scenes and baseless songs. Most of the characters had no purpose they were just there for the sake to it.

David Dhawan has made several remakes like CHOR MACHAIYE SHOR(Blue Streak), KYO KII MAIN JHUTH NAHIN BOLTA(Liar Liar), KUNWARA( A Walk in the clowds)

This is however a bad remake of ANALYSE THIS

The story does seem interesting and initial scenes show promise but the film stagnates and the comedy comes across poor in the second half

The Sanju vs Ajay track is treated so badly

The Amitabh-Sanju track has some interesting though clichéd scenes

Nothing new or effective and there is no continuity in the film

Direction by DD is bad Music is okay

Amitabh Bachchan does his part well though he does irritate at times Sanju repeats his gangster act and has good chemistry with Bachchan though he does ham it up in second half Ajay looks ill at ease, sleepy in the role Aishwarya is only a plastic doll here Annu Kapoor and Satish Kaushik are funny Navin Nishol and others are okay

Firstly, I am a great fan of David as I have seen most of his films, be it a Govinda one or a Salman one. Well this surprisingly had a whole new cast! Something very different from his regular cast.

Starting with the cast! Sanjay, Amitabh, Aish and Ajay all do a great job! While the rest are okay, it is Amitabh who shines as the aware and alert doctor who tries his very best to keep away from all the troubles.

Aish is good as usual, it was a very fresh script for her as compared to her regulars. Ajay and Sanjay bring the best on screen chemistry as two obsessed lovers over the same girl.

This is not your regular hero heroine villan stuf, but you will still be happy and atleast laugh a bit, no matter what.

So, incase you are looking forward to a good time, be ready to have a popcorn in your hand and just sit back and tune onto this film for sure!

Overall, a wonderful film.
