Mahendra Bohra, Jitendra Gulati and Belvie Productions’ Hume Tumse Pyaar Kitna (UA) is an obsessive love story.
Dhruv (Karan Vir Bohra), a book store owner in Himachal Pradesh, loves Ananya (Priya Banerjee) who is an author and who also runs a writing institute. Although Dhruv is obsessively in love with Ananya, he never lets it be known to her that he loves her. He writes her a love letter in his own blood, making Ananya and her boyfriend, Ranvir Dhillon (Sameer Kochar), wonder who the crazy guy is.
One day, Ananya and Ranvir’s families meet to finalise their marriage. Dhruv eavesdrops and while doing so, Ranvir’s friend, Ronny, sees him. Ronny gives chase to Dhruv who finally murders him.
Nazar Umar Gul is another guy who loves Ananya. However, Ananya turns down his proposal of love. Dejected, Nazar Umar Gul files a false police complaint against Ananya. Dhruv is livid when he learns that Nazar Umar Gul has complained to the police against Ananya. He loses no time in killing Nazar. The prime suspect for Nazar’s murder is Ananya, and she is arrested. Ranvir gets Ananya released on bail.
Dhruv is mad with rage when he hears, one day, that Ananya and Ranvir are planning to get married soon. He burns down his own store and is himself injured. Ananya, who lives just opposite his store, saves Dhruv and admits him to a hospital.
What happens thereafter? Does Dhruv express his love to Ananya or not? Does Ananya marry Dhruv or Ranvir?
Faisal Akhtar, Lalit Mohan and Karan Vir Bohra have written a hackneyed story which one has seen in several earlier films. There is not even a hint of novelty. In fact, three boys (Dhruv, Ranvir and Nazar Umar Gul) madly in love with Ananya seems a bit too much. The screenplay, penned by Rahul Patel, Nandan and Lalit Mohan, never succeeds in involving the audience or keeping them entertained or engrossed. Consequently, the viewers only passively watch the drama unfold. So insipid is the drama that the writers appear to be novices. The question that remains unanswered is: why does Dhruv not express his love to Ananya for so long? Rahul Patel, Nandan and Lalit Mohan’s dialogues are routine.
Karan Vir Bohra is okay as the obsessive lover, Dhruv. Priya Banerjee does fairly well as Ananya. Sameer Kochar does an ordinary job as Ranvir Dhillon. Arun Sherawat (as police inspector Mahesh Balraj), and the others lend ordinary support.
Lalit Mohan’s direction is very dull. Music (Jeet Ganguli, Tony Kakkar, Shabbir Ahmed, Raaj Aashoo, DJ Emenes (MB) and Toshi Sharib) is commonplace. Lyrics (Shabbir Ahmed, Tony Kakkar, Jeet Ganguli and A.M. Turaz) are functional. Choreography (by Longines Fernandes, Uma-Gaiti and Adil Shaikh) is so-so. Amar Mohile’s background music hardly deserves mention. Santosh Thundiyil’s camerawork is alright. Action and stunt scenes (by Amin Khatib and R.P. Yadav) lack fire. Editing (Prashant Rathore and Kannu Prajapati) is loose.
On the whole, Hume Tumse Pyaar Kitna has bleak chances at the box-office because it is a dull and routine fare.
Released on 5-7-’19 at Inox Metro (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru R.B. Films Combine. Publicity: so-so. Opening: poor. …….Also released all over. Opening was dull everywhere.
