Vimi Sook

Humko Tumse Pyaar Hai is a very good romantic/drama Bollywood movie with 3 top actors(Bobby Deol, Amisha Patel,and Arjun Rampal). Love how the movie shows Amisha's classical Indian dance skills. She also looks beautiful in the sari's/Indian clothes and did a very good job acting blind. It was also nice to see Amisha reunited with Bobby Deol again after Kranti and their hit movie Humraaz. Too bad that Bobby did not get much scope in HTPH because Arjun Rampal was Amisha's love in the movie. Amisha and Bobby has amazing on screen chemistry and Humraaz(one of my favorite) especially demonstrated it. When Raj(Bobby) meets Durga(Amisha) for the first time, love the dialogue between them(how we can be lonely/sad on the inside but don't show it on the outside)... as this pertains to real life as well. It was romantic when Raj rubs Durga feet with alcohol to keep her warm. Bobby has the most sensual/soulful eyes for an actor. Love the way he always stares Amisha down in all 3 of their movies. Amisha looks nice with Arjun as both are attractive people. HTPH also has nice songs, like the 2 songs in Switzerland Chori Se Dil Ko, Kaise Tumhe and the title track-Humko Tumse Pyaar Hai. Miss these beautiful love songs with top singers like Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan. Also, miss these beautiful locations and gorgeous Indian clothes. New movies lack these classic qualities that Bollywood is known/admired for because Bollywood is trying to be more like Hollywood and getting away from the Indian culture. Bollywood can still make modern movies, but still keep the Indian qualities. Two of these movies that will withstand time are Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and Humraaz. Coincidentally both of these movies are Romantic thrillers, has Amisha Patel, best romantic songs with videos shot overseas in beautiful locations, they are on crew ship, funny scenes with Amisha's skirt, etc. What is the big hoopla about a certain actor that some refer to as a Greek God? Fans prefer real guys like Bobby Deol, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Ajay Devgan, Abhishek Bachchan, Varun Dhawan, etc.

Love Humraaz because it is one of the few movies so far in the 21st century that will stand up until the end of time(modern story but still retain the Indian culture). In my opinion, this is Amisha Patel and Bobby Deol's best movie because it gave them the widest scope to act that shows both positive and negative qualities that people can have in life. I consider Humraaz an excellent movie because of the story(combination of Pretty Woman, Indecent Proposal, Several Murder plots, etc.). Bobby is excellent as the Business Tycoon(kinda like Richard Gere in Pretty Woman),love how he is mesmerized by Amisha's beauty. I read some previous reviews that gave Bobby flack for looking/acting like a man in love during the 1st half of the movie, instead they only like his acting during the 2nd half. But these critics fail to realize that this movie is a Romantic Thriller, so Bobby was required to act romantic. Amisha is excellent as the gorgeous dancer who has a transaction love relationship with Karan(Akshaye), then later finds true unconditional love with Raj(Bobby). It's the best Amisha has ever looked and dressed(beautiful sari's-Indian clothes). Love the onscreen chemistry that Amisha has with Bobby in all 3 of their movies(Kranti, Humraaz, Humko Tumse Pyaar Hai).Humraaz has top songs, love them all, especially the title track "Sanam Mere Humraaz". Excellent acting by all 3 lead stars(Bobby, Amisha, Akshaye). Even the supporting cast has very good parts. Johnny Lever was funny and did not go overboard. The troupe members and the 2 older couples(Rustom, Tommy, Rosie) added value to the movie. Dadi Maa is the coolest grandmother I have ever seen in Bollywood movies, with video calls, make Priya a partner in the business, etc. In fact, Humraaz is a pretty advanced movie in 2002 with technology(excellent use of the cassette, cameras, etc.). Humraaz was nominated for many Filmfare and other awards, but was shut out, which is really disappointing because this is one of the favorite movies by fans. Humraaz has been viewed by so many million of people and the number continues to grow daily. Fans love this movie so much that they make their own additions/switches to a couple of the songs on Youtube. The Title track-"Sanam Mere Humraaz", they put Amisha in black sari before blue sari. In "Dil Ne Kar Liya", they add Raj/Priya dancing at dinner on the ship to this song. Would be nice if Abbas-Mastan had made a sequel to Humraaz, with Bobby, Amisha and Akshaye returns as his twin brother investigating Karan's murder. Also, Raj and Priya finally get to consummate their relationship and have a couple of kids. They live with the secret of Karan's death. Bobby and Amisha still looks good and hope they can reunite for another film again.

Don't really care for this movie, mainly because Bobby Deol gets a bum deal. This is no Humraaz where all 3 actors equally act their parts well. Music is average. I would skip this one and watch Humraaz again and again.
