Ratings:4/5 Reviewer:Nikhat Kazmi Site:TimesOfIndia
Here are five reasons why you've got to watch this film which returns in colour, like Mughal-e-Azam did, a few years ago. First, because it's a living example of what timeless classics actually mean. The film may be almost 50 years old, yet the flavour is mint fresh. There is nothing that feels dated about the film, not even the sartorial style. The second strong factor that propels you towards it is its message. The strong anti-war undercurrent of Hum Dono remains relevant and even more topical in today's clash-of-civilisation clime.Visit Site for More

The colour itself, while meticulously done, is often surreal. Lipstick dazzles, skin seems slightly clay, and Dev Anand ends up wearing a lot of purple. Both he and the film, however, carry off bold colours brilliantly. It feels somewhat like watching the movie through a screen, and while hard to describe, I assure you that this is a delightful experience.Hum Dono has Vijay Anand written all over it. The writing is tremendous, and the direction incredibly confident. And the film constantly confounds preset expectation.There is little point in dwelling on the plot of a fifty year vintage, and if you haven't watched it yet, you deserve to discover it at the theatres like I did last night. Suffice it to say that this is a emotionally fascinating drama that stubbornly refuses to have anything to do with filmmaking conventions.Visit Site for More
