Good concept, poorly executed.

A Disappointing Continuation

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

I was bit surprised at the cold responses this movie got from viewers and at box office. This movie really present some beautiful script which is inspired from some movies from hollywood but the emotions that are reflected in this movie really make you feel to be fall in true love and bring smile on your your someone special , whatever may be the cost. I enjoyed every bit of right from flirting , to the end which went through multiple up downs.

U Me Aur Hum is about Ajay, a psychiatrist who goes on a cruise with some friends (two couples - one 'unhappily married', the other 'happily unmarried'). From the start, you see that he scouts out women (although his preference is younger women, who could be his daughter's age) and then immediately uses every cliché in the book in order to get into this woman's pants. This lady, Piya, however is actually not two decades younger than him (a rarity in Bollywood with the older male actors) and she's not easy to toy around with. At least in the beginning. Eventually his lies get the best of him however, and he also learns that his patience with his patients will come in handy in this relationship.I had a lot of problems with this movie. First of all, the many romantic quotes at the beginning of the movie. Were they really necessary? Okay, one is fine. Two is pushing it. But there were maybe around fifteen quotes that Ajay probably spent a few minutes searching up on google. They also were very simple quotes that could have been attached to any romance film. Then there's Ajay Devgan himself. He cannot act. He cannot even put the slightest inflection of emotion into his robotic, coma- inducing voice. But that's how he is in every movie, so I suppose there's not much new to complain about here. Other than some of the acting, the story is poor and seems haphazardly thrown together, especially when it starts to really get 'intense' after the cruise. There is a scene at Ajay's clinic where a receptionist answers a phone and then she literally calls the person calling 'a serious mental case'. How incredibly professional. And intelligent. Not to mention it's a little difficult to believe that this user is also supposedly a decent psychiatrist. There is nothing in his personality to suggest this may be the case in the first half of the movie. He actually goes through Piya's most secret possessions just so that he could get her in the sack later on. That is beyond pathetic. Which brings me to question why exactly Piya forgave him. She says that he had 'good intentions', that his heart was in the right place, but that isn't true at all. He doesn't deserve forgiveness for this. Maybe she can try to trust him again, but what he did was still disgusting. The love story didn't connect with me at all. Was this a love story? It seemed more like a deception to me. Then there is the Alzheimer's plot twist. I felt like this was the point where the movie took a 180 turn and it became almost entirely about Piya and Ajay's struggles with this disorder. Something tells me they didn't research the disorder incredibly thoroughly either. I also didn't quite get why the doctor would raise Piya's hopes up by lying to her when he knows what is probably wrong with her. What a jerk. Another scene I found strange was when Piya talks about how Alzheimer's is a serious disease and how much it would upset her if someone she loved had it. And then one of Ajay's friends jokes that he wishes his wife would get Alzheimer's so she'd stop bothering him about his drinking. They all laugh about this and the many jokes that follow. Uh, yeah, I don't get why Piya or Ajay would laugh about this. Especially considering how she just said how devastating the illness is. Other things I found awkward - The censorship. They don't censor an actual penis, but the area a few inches above it. How strange. There was also censorship of a baby in a tub, which I didn't understand. There are forgettable songs that aren't too meaningful. The dramatic scenes in the movie also tend to last far too long, as is typical in Bollywood. They get to the point that you just want to fast forward because it's so cringe-inducing. Oh, and I can't forge the ending where Ajay tells Piya that she's 'pretending' to not remember him just to make him upset. And what a surprise - they get back together and it's a happy ending. U Me Aur Hum was a disappointment, as I feel it could have been good had it been more properly researched and handled by people with more talent than a Bollywood actor who's probably never taken a proper acting class in his life. If it wasn't for Kajol, the movie would not even be worth watching.

A story with a message - BUT the message is simplistically simple, the love story is INSPIRED by a few films (Notebook, 50 first dates etc.) and banal, and the dialogs are horrendous. I think a Kajol or Ajay fan can see it (I did). Ajay made this one so it feels exactly like the summary he wrote for IMDb – and that summary was worse than a grade school summary of a book or film. Even the tag line is lifted from the amazing Painted Veil. Unfortunately none of the quality of that marital strife film rubs off on U Me Aur Hum.I really like Kajol, and thought she looked very good in the first half of K3G (a film I quite dislike) but then they choose to make her haggard in the second half and she has kept that look. What is with all that dark dark eye makeup? Does she want to become the Rekha of her time? There were a few moments when she looked great, but most of the time she was OTT with white lipstick and big black mascara. Ajay just looked dour most of the time and it did not help that the extreme closeup photography enhanced every blackhead, every pore, every wrinkle in the faces of the couple.A couple of scenes engaged me, but the dialogs were bad beyond belief. The kid has to be named with an F, so F U dash dash E R is a great name? A long winded dialog about 'cutting the arm off' was so stupid I thought at first that I didn't get some profound statement that was being made. Ajay was great in HDDCS - he would say "You know something? Never mind!" and I loved him for that. But this is carrying a great dialog to silly extremes (repeated 100 times in UMAH) without the catch line, which was NEVER MIND and suited the character of Vanraj! I can hum Dil Dhakda hai - so maybe one song was OK. But the lyrics for all the songs were horrific – here is a sample of lyrics from Dhakda hai! Dil laaya hoon, tang do khunti pe, sapnon mein aajaana, raat ko hoon duty pe!! That Phatte number was simply atrocious in lyrics, melody and choreography. The Saiyyan song - that was the most inappropriate insertion of a song into a situation EVER! In summary, U Me Aur Hum is a most banal film. With a silly bottom line - if you love you wife/(mother/father) do not send them to an institution when they get Alzheimers or start failing. Forget the fact that most people cannot send them to that 5 star type facility she went to, and for others sending them to any kind of facility is not a financial option. The tragedy of the disease was never really explored was it? For that we still have to look to Maine Gandhi ko Nahin Maara.As for the marital advice - I've seen better from Dear Abby.

Last week i saw the movie..this is debut directional movie by Ajay Devgan..the one and only positive thing about this movies is Kajol is still in form and ready for rock.Honestly say this movie is inspired by Hollywood movies and also visual effects too..but some shots are really good and hats off to cinematography...its amazing!!! other star cast is fit to their roles.. music is not well just title song is good. if some song is deleted then it would be good.the story is good but due to poor script it goes waste. If you like the emotional movie with typical Hindi Masala then buy a DVD and see this movie,there is no need to go theater to see this movie. overall if you are the crazy fans of Ajay and Kajol then watch is movie!!
