The film suddenly turns into a tearjerker. It’s in the second half that the director gets the genre totally confused. Ratings: 2/5 Reviewer: Preeti Arora Site:Rediff This one is just an addition to the Bollywood bhoot buddy brigade.Īrshad Warsi’s debut as a writer is so ‘lifeless’ in Hum Tum aur Ghost that even his ‘spirited’ performance isn’t able to save the dead slow film from dying a slow death. One can find loose references from Hollywood films like Ghost to Ghost Town but the narrative fails to create any magic. Though the basic premise of the film (a human communicating with a good-hearted ghost) holds a lot of potential and life in it, most of it remains untapped in the screenplay penned by Arshad Warsi, Arshad Ali Syed and Soumik Sen that lacks the spunk and is too shallow. Ratings: 2/5 Reviewer: Gaurav Malani Site:Indiatimes Watch it for intermittent fun and Arshad Warsi’s spontaneity. Rarely funny, mostly sentimental, the film seems to waste away its comic potential for some drama that doesn’t quite engage. Is it a comedy, a love story or a supernatural drama? Does it have a point to make, other than entertain? The first question raises its head because the plot and the tenor of the film ramble too much.

Ratings: 2.5/5 Reviewer: Nikhat Kazmi Site:TimesOfIndiaĪrshad Warsi’s debut film as writer and producer has a problem at the onset. On the whole, HUM TUM AUR GHOST is a terrible waste of a terrific idea. The sole saving grace is the performances by the principal cast. By then, the viewer has already lost interest in the film. Ideally, the writers and director should’ve come to the point right away, but the film takes its own sweet time to come to the point and what comes across is also not enticing, barring a couple of attention-grabbing moments. The screenplay – the lifeline of any film – is what makes a film stand on its feet and in this case, HUM TUM AUR GHOST suffers due to inept writing. Ratings: 2/5 Reviewer: Taran Adarsh Site:Indiafm Ultimately the film is predictable and tiring because it’s an interesting idea that’s been stretched way beyond its potential. Even the humour works mostly when it’s done smartly and subtly, and not as effectively in the film’s slapstick portions - like the one in which Armaan disguises himself and visits a bank, only to be confronted by the son of the very man he is impersonating.

The film might have worked as an irreverent comedy, but much of it is treated as an emotional drama, resulting in several contrived scenes that fall flat on their face. Hum Tum Aur Ghost suffers primarily on account of its inconsistent tone. The screenplay, to begin with, takes too long to arrive at the core conflict, which involves Arshad’s character - Armaan, a photographer in Newcastle - agreeing to help two good-natured spirits fulfill their final wishes.
