Akele Hum Akele Tum

AHAT is a dream movie. Director Mansoor Khan was in full form and he gifted us a movie of lifetime. Though the movie was inspired from Hollywood flick "Kramer vs kramer" it had its own way of conveying thought.Watching Aamir and Manisha is a treat for every cine-goers.The young artist did reasonably well. Aamir effectively delineated the situation of an estranged father.He looked quite dashing too.Manisha too conveyed every thought through her eyes.Performancewise the movie is first rate.Music is outstanding. especially "raja ko rani se","aisa jakham kiya hai"can be picked out of the lot.On the whole AHAT is a apt example of good cinema.A must watch.

Great film;great story with great songs. My all favourite songs are in it. I watched this film because of its music. Anu Malik truly a maestro. Every actors has done a brilliant performance I have got birth on mother earth on 1999 n this film was released in the year of 1995, nearly 4 years before my birth. Story was written 27 years ago but I found it so relevant till date. How carefully they have shown us the love between father and son. A father who always dreamt becoming a playback singer under a unwelcome situation, give up his dream just to give a secure live to his son. In the scene at the court room, Amir Sir said, "konsa book mai likha hai ki ek maa hi uski santan ko zyada pyar karti hai, kiyun ki bo komol mon ki hoti hai. Pappa vi utnahi pyar kar sakta hai zitna ki ek ma. " While watching i found, story putting us in suspense ; as one scene get finish our heart would be like... What will happen in next scene. In my words, it's a solid piece of filming.

I feel, it wil etched my mind.

Akele Hum Akele Tum is a very entertaining and charming film. The film seems to have been inspired by two films, Abhimaan and Kramer vs. Karmer. Abhimaan showed the rise of one spouse in the music industry to another's fall, and Kramer vs. Kramer showed two separated parents fighting over their child's custody. The film has bits of both films, though it's much more similar to the latter. There are actually several sequences which are copied frame-by-frame, which is annoying, but I did like the fact that it was like an expansion of the Kramer vs. Kramer plot. It's like showing the motives behind Meryl Streep's character's decision to leave her husband, giving a larger view of what could probably have happened in the middle, and ending it up with a more complete ending. That's why this is one remake which is easier to forgive.

Mansoor Khan's direction is very good and it is aided by a very memorable soundtrack and great casting. Anu Malik's music is exceptional and every song stands out (even though some of them, like the film itself, are unoriginal). "Raja Ko Rani Se" is very melodious and romantic, "Aisa Zakham Diya" is youthful and catchy, "Akele Hum Akele Tum" is a great song showing the loving relationship of a father and his son (and the fact that it's actually sung by Udit Narayan and his real-life son Aditya makes it even more convincing), "Dil Mera Churaya Kyon" is beautifully melancholic, and "Dil Kehta Hai" is another amazingly exciting and romantic gem. All the songs are extremely well pictured in the film.

Aamir Khan and Manisha Koirala have a fantastic chemistry (I also loved their collaboration in the 1999 film Mann). This is one of Khan's best performances - very mature, very natural, at times restrained and at times temperamental. Koirala is both beautiful and convincing. She is first a young dreamy girl who wants to become a singer, then a married woman, then an angry mother/homemaker whose inferiority complex and dissatisfaction from her life and marriage cause her to try to find a new life, then a reigning singer, then a suffering mother whose determination to get her son back looks almost selfish. She is credible in every shade her character goes through. Tanvi Azmi also gives a very fine performance.

Overall, Akele Hum Akele Tum is a very enjoyable family drama. It has bits of everything and is generally well made, although it does tend to be melodramatic at several sequences. It did bother that some scenes were copied frame-by-frame, but as a whole, it is a decently Indianised film and as already said, it updates and expands the Kramer vs. Kramer plot quite effectively. I'm not saying it's a great film, but it is one of those films which show the magic of Bollywood's 1990s, which may not have had the great technical advances of today, but were much more simple, naive and alluring thanks to their very profound Hindi film style, extremely melodious songs and great human and family values.

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!

the movie very rightly shows the various problems that may arise in a love marriage and how the life starts getting tougher and tougher.the performances by aamir and mainsha are simply great and aamir deserves an award for the effort.he really brings life into the movie and makes you feel what he is going through.the child actor is also good.all in all a very good movie.one of the aamir's best.this movie gets very emotional when the couple move to court over the possession of the child and here aamir is simply superb.

the director mansoor khan does very well with emotional movies and literally makes you cry and he is fully supported by his nephew aamir. i would rate this movie 9/10 and a must see movie
