'Hum Tum' is new age cinema yet steeped in traditions. However the attempt to make it a new age film has resulted in giving the film a very subtle treatment and feel which may be its undoing.

The tongue-in-cheek humour will surely not go with the audiences in the smaller towns and cities. So this is a metro film but again here it will not be a huge success. At the most it might do average business here. Reason? Hypocritical as it may sound, the film lacks drama that one is so used to witnessing in a Bollywood film. A Hindi film seems so incomplete otherwise. Although the film has a lot of light moments they aren't really great and memorable. In short this romantic comedy is bland and you will go home with no memories.

Karan Kapoor (Saif Ali Khan) works with one of India's leading newspapers as a cartoonist. He has cute cartoon characters, 'Hum' and 'Tum'.

Karan meets Rhea (Rani Mukherjee) in an aircraft on his way to the U.S. They are complete opposites and are always at loggerheads with each other. Karan kisses her innocently after one of their arguments. Disaster strikes. End of a sweet budding friendship.

Rhea and Karan continue to bump into each other at various phases of life and gradually become friends until they fall in love.
