Why? Because the script writers, Siddharth Anand and Kunal Kohli, made sure they didn’t just show two people meeting and falling in love immediately. The next time the two lead characters meet 3 years later, it's Rhea’s wedding and Karan is one of the organizers. Cut them accidentally bumping into each other in New York where their hatred for each other is further reinstated. They meet on a plane ride, happen to explore Amsterdam together and then don’t meet each other for a good 6 months. These two, although they start off on the wrong foot, keep having these chance encounters for years. The basic plotĮssentially, Hum Tum is about Rhea and Karan-two people right for each other but always meeting up at the wrong time. When I rewatched it at 25, I realized that the Kunal Kohli directed love story was actually WAYY ahead of its time. However, I was a kid, only 10 years of age who didn’t understand the finer nuances of the film. Rani Mukerji was on top of her game as well, working her magic with each film she signed.

The fact that he was undeniably cute helped too. Saif Ali Khan was thriving at the time, every movie he touched became a blockbuster. Back in 2004 when I watched Hum Tum, I cannot deny I loved the movie. Hum Tum is a novel look at the trials and tribulations of 'every man' and 'every woman'. But, as life would have it, their paths keep crossing and, over the course of a decade, their relationship evolves, from hate to mutual respect, friendship and finally - In a cinematic universe that offers simplistic scenarios to the complex relationship between men and women. Initially, the two have very little in common. She can give as good as she gets and is not afraid of standing up to men. Rhea is sensitive, well bred and self-confident. Karan is a cartoonist and his character 'Hum' and 'Tum' reflect his perspective on the strange love-hate relationship between men and women.

Hum Tum is a refreshing look at the eternal battle of the sexes as it follows the lives of Karan (Saif Ali Khan) and Rhea (Rani Mukerji). Very often, a relationship develops slowly and it takes many years between 'boy meets girl' and 'boy gets girl'.
