'Hum Ko Deewana Kar Gaye' starts by being old fashioned, and suddenly it becomes bold in the climax. Wow! Bollywood truly has come of age! 'Hum Ko Deewana Kar Gaye' has all the clichéd situations that lead to a girl and guy getting attracted to each other. It has even borrowed inspiration from 'Kal Ho Na Ho'.

We are referring to a couple of scenes hinting at our macho hero, Akshay Kumar, having gay tendencies (misunderstood, of course!). On the up side, it has an extremely good looking couple (Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif but not exploited fully), great locales and some melodious music. Let's quickly add that there's an overdose of songs.

Let's get on with the story first. Aditya Malhotra (Akshay Kumar) is an automobile engineer and gets engaged to Sonia (Bipasha Basu), a rocking fashion designer. We are surprised how they decided to get engaged to each other considering they are as different as chalk and cheese.

While Aditya is a complete family man and is the sort who'd love to get married and start a family soon, Sonia is very ambitious. For her, it's career first. Kids can wait for the next five years.

This seems out of place as no young, career woman today with a rocking professional life would want to be tied down by marriage, leave alone kids. At least not an arranged marriage!

There's no chemistry or even a hint of an attraction between them. So there, the film starts on shaky ground.
