Hum Pyar Tumhi Se Kar Baithe
 HUM PYAR TUMHI SE KAR BAITHE - (Reviewed By Komal Nahta)
RATING: 0.25/10
Rajshri Productions Pvt. Ltd.'s Hum Pyar Tumhi Se Kar Baithe is a love story in which coincidences are the be-all and end-all of life! All hell breaks loose in the life of a happily married couple when the ambitious businessman-husband indulges in illegal activities to make a fast buck. Resenting his nefarious acts despite her pleas, the wife walks out on him, taking their little son with her.
The husband repents and also gives up his illegal activities but it is too late as he gets the news of his wife and child's death in an accident. As fate and coincidence would have it, soon thereafter, the best friend of the businessman is killed in a car accident, alongwith his wife. The deceased couple's little daughter is now brought up by the businessman who dotes on her as he would, on his real daughter.
The girl grows up and one day goes to Mt. Abu on a picnic with her friends. There, she falls in love with a handsome boy who, it turns out, is the son of the businessman. The news of his mother and his own death, years ago, was incorrect. Even while their love blossoms, the two are unaware of the real identity of each other.
Ultimately, fate and coincidences intervene to unite the businessman and his wife one day. The couple then gets the two lovers married but not before a gang of villains is put in its place.
The story is as old as the hills and the screenplay couldn't have been more childish. For one, Mt. Abu seems to be the only place of action in the world as everything with all the characters in the film happens there. As if the pativrata wife walking out on her husband were not bad enough, she is shown to be not even bothered to find out about his well-being, for years together. No Indian wife could be so stone-hearted. To make matters convenient, even her son never asks her about his father. The daughter of the friend grows up in the businessman's house but is shown to have never seen the photograph of his wife for about 15 years!
Very conveniently, her photo is kept locked in a room to which the girl has no access as if it weren't a picture but a national secret. The obvious reason for not permitting her entry in that room for all those growing years of hers was to make the drama progress forcibly. For, had she seen the photograph, the fact that the wife was alive and staying in Mt. Abu would've been revealed much before the pre-climax as she is shown to be interacting with the lady (who is none other than her boyfriend's mother). The track of the villains trying to misguide the lover-boy about his father is childish. The locket changing hands every time there's nothing else to further the drama, looks too much of a coincidence to digest. The action climax sticks out like a sore thumb in the non-action film.
The glaring defects in the script apart, the film has no emotions to touch the heart. The romance looks like that of the fifties. Comedy is weak, to say the least. The narrative is as dull as dull can be.
Jugal Hansraj is mediocre and lacks fire, partly because of the lifeless script. Tina Raana passes muster. Sachin Khedekar and Navni Parihar try to infuse some life into the drama but not with much success. Anoop Soni is ill at ease in a negative role. Vishnu Sharma, Mushtaq Khan, Charlie, Johny Fever, Viju Khote, Dinesh Hingoo and the rest fill the bill.
Mohan Singh Rathore's direction is as bad as his ancient script. His narrative style is of regional language films' standard. Raamlaxman's music comprises a couple of fairly good songs but none is of the kind which will find favour with the youth of today. Song picturisations are routine except for two which look eye-filling at least. Action scenes are functional. Camerawork and other technical aspects are ordinary. Production values are average.
On the whole, Hum Pyar Tumhi Se Kar Baithe is a supreme disaster.
RELEASE DATE: 8th November 2002
