1. U, Me aur Hum.

U, Me aur Hum is a usual story with a bit of an unusual treatment. I really didn’t feel like writing a review after watching the flick as there was nothing much to write. A couple of things which motivated me were - Gleaming direction and Stupefying performance by Devgan couple.

Given a riveting story with a first-rate screenplay, Ajay has a potential to flourish as an immaculate director as he is technically pretty sound and precise. Also, the handling (movement and placement) of camera is done pretty well especially when there was nothing much to expect from cinematography. Kajol is again at her acting best. After such a long break from cinema, it’s not logical to expect such an arty performance delivery. Still, I had a lot of expectations from her and they were rewarded too. Ajay too is dazzling. He looks pretty young and fresh. His unblemished style makes him stand out from so-called bollywood hunks (Khans, Kapoors et al). Although I am a die-hard Ajay-Kajol fan since their earliest movies, the above statements are quite unbiased.

Besides direction, the dialogues are quite mesmerizing. The love quotes used at the start are striking too. I was waiting for a character named Kumar Mangat till the end of the movie but surprisingly, there isn’t any. ha ha ha. To readers who don’t know Kumar Mangat is Ajay’s secretary (in real life) and his name is used in most of their productions till date. On the whole, a well-made bollywood masala flick with a typically flowing story. Nothing so grand but still worth a glance.

My Verdict: 6/10
