Movie Review: Humko Tumse Pyaar Hain

Humko Tumse Pyaar Hain is a romantic melodrama which is finally seeing the glow of release after many years. Produced by Cineyug, this love triangle would have hit the screens long ago, but the sudden demise of Bunty Soorma delayed the film. Later, director Vikram Bhatt stepped in to complete it. Although the concept of love triangle has been repeated many times but interestingly look of the film is not out of date. Also remarkable direction from Vikram Bhatt because when such films are directed under a different director the result is exaggerated and film looks patchy from where the new director must have started but in case of this film no so such thing has happened. Full marks to Vikram Bhatt for handling the project so well. Humko Tumse Pyaar Hai was shot in Switzerland and Rajasthan and this adds to the overall look of the movie. (more…)
