Some
scripts are rather left alone as it looks
quite interesting on paper and in several
instances the creative mind that is trying
to visualize the words ends up over doing
it. Hum Tum aur Ghost is one such movie
which has a good premise and it does look
like a complete paisa vasool movie at
first and at the second half you are left
bamboozled.
A happy young drunkard photographer seems
to have everything going on good in his
life with a hugely rewarding profession,
a beautiful and caring girlfriend, an
understanding and close friend and a huge
luxurious house. But he has a secret.
The same secret which Haley Joel Osment
had in the Sixth Sense and thankfully
this time around Arshad didn't need a
Bruce Willis to point it out. But when
he comes in term with it, his life gets
complicated beyond repair. What happens
next? How does he cope up with it? Forms
the rest of the story of this fairy tale.

Kabir Kaushik, who had directed the brilliant Sehar,
does prove his prowess in direction but is let down
by the lackluster screenplay. Screenplay by Arshad
Warsi, Arshad Ali Syed and Soumik Sen shows promise
but then falls flat. Apart from the whole movie taking
its own sweet time to move, the second half simply
ruins the credentials that the first half acquired.
Driven by clichés and melodrama, the second
half seizes to uphold your interest. Some brilliant
sequences like the scene where Arshad Warsi tries
to help Boman Irani in the Bank are a laugh riot,
but again few tasty vegetables don’t make a
good meal.
A good work behind the camera by Ashok Mehta enriches
the viewing experience for sure. The music direction
by Shankar Ehsaan Loy is decent but nothing worthwhile
quoting. Background score by Julius Packlam is atrocious
to say the least.
Arshad Warsi has outdone himself with a sensational
performance. He is likable although. Dia Mirza looks
a million bucks and has also grown into a phenomenal
performer. Boman Irani is at his usual best. Sandhya
Mridul as Arshad's friend and assistant is a revelation,
all the scenes where she shows her face stamps her
presence and successfully pulls your attention as
well.
Overall, it is a movie that had the potential to become
a great entertainer but ends up being a decent bearable
movie and that too due to the heartening performance
by the actors, good camera work and the comical dialogues.
With IPL riding high, the movie would find it difficult
to sustain at the box office for long.
Verdict:
Arshad does a CSK (Losing at the brink of winning)
