Unbearable trash. Review on Humko Tumse Pyaar Hai

Humko Tumse Pyaar Hain , produced by Cineyug and directed by Vikram Bhatt, is a love story with ample doses of emotion and sermonising.

The story is of a blind and hapless girl (Amisha Patel) whose life toggles between the past she never knew to the present she has just witnessed. The film starts off in a village of Jaipur and centers around beautiful and doll-faced blind girl Durga (Amisha Patel).

She has caring mother (Suhasini Mulay) and divine gift of making beautiful sculptures despite her handicap. Rohit (Arjun Rampal), charming young man is enticed by her beauty culminating in eternal love.

Rana (Parmeet Sethi), the dreaded village goon has lust for Durga and desires to marry her. Rohit tries to cure with Durga of her blindness and he meets eye specialist Dr Prasad (Kanwaljeet).

Rana is upset by the fact Durga loves Rohit and tries to eliminate him. Though Dr Prasad operates Durga successfully but the destiny has other plans.

On a fateful day when Durga gets her vision she loses Rohit. This upsets her to an extent that she tries to kill herself.

Dr Prasad takes Durga to Switzerland. Raj (Bobby Deol), a hi-profile tycoon, is besotted with Durga's pristinely innocence and charm. Raj shows his love for her but she resents it at first but finally accepts.

During that time Raj tells Durga about his best friend (Rohit) whom he has lost. Durga hasn't seen Rohit because of her blindness but his voice and appearance has strong impact on her mind and soul.

Durga and Raj are engaged. On the engagement day, Raj hears about Rohit and this makes him happier. Rohit recognizes Durga but she hasn't seen him.

The storyline is such that you can foresee what's in store . Another disadvantage being, the story bears a striking resemblance to several bollywood films .Yet,the first half has a couple of interesting moments and the emphasis is clearly on providing light moments.The story gathers momentum soon after the intermission, when Amisha visits Swiss which keeps your attention arrested.

However, the film is not without its share of snags.First and foremost, the story is old-fashioned and the screenplay abounds in clich. Moreover, the second half is lengthy and how one wishes the editor would've used the scissors more effectively.Music is passable, although two numbers are catchy enough – the title track and 'Tumko'. Cinematography is functional. Dialogues sound oft-repeated.

Amisha needs to polish her acting skills as well as concentrate on her overall appearance. Performance-wise, she is plain mediocre. Bobby Deol is fair. Arjun does a fine job.

All up HTPH is an ordinary fare by all standards.
