An emotional film from the talented and sensitive couple, quite unexpected, beautiful, touching, sensitive, emotional story and really wonderful love story (few hindi films have it)....of a married couple .....
The wording in the beginning of the movie, in my favourate blue and white was super.Indeed, sometimes the greatest journey is the distance between two hearts.....And that could be any hearts...mother-son, husband-wife, friends...Anyone...
Ajay & Kajol both fit to their roles. A special worthy praise is deserved by Kajol (as always) for her lovable act and Ajay for choosing a difficult subject.
The overall impact at the end of the movie is quite touchy.
The first half starts with the usual hindi masala, 'one feels' But after the marriage of the lead actors, the film just moves on to a different unexpected platform. That is the beginning of they lived happily everafter...The story is about the wife suffering with Alzheimer disease and how the family and friends around, face this truth with love and courage. In the backgroud was the happily unmarried couple and unhappily married couple....
Why one feels becuse I had not realised until I read this blog of my friends about the gentle hints that Devgan drops during the first half on Pia’s disease- she serving tequilas instead of vodka or turning up for salsa at 7 instead of 6.http://criticatwork.blogspot.com/2008/04/u-me-aur-hum-is-for-all-of-us.html
The most lacking department of the movie is the Music. Though there were few songs, and indeed there was singing of songs from old movies which was good and isnt that what happens in real life parties.....
It can be said that after "Thanmathra" this is the second movie on the theme of this disease and how the family copes with it, that is in news in the recent past, and it is good to have such kind of movies at least people would come to know the situation of such people too....when they cannot realise, seeing their own ones suffering...especailly I was very much hurt to see ammuma suffering this and hear, her son say, she is acting.....
The film indeed makes us thing if the world today is "U ME Aur Hum" or "I me aur main!!! " Whatever ME is common....
But the movie has the truth of life in it. Anybody can face this, as we all live in an uncertain life. And "U ME Aur Hum" teaches how to live life with love even when the times are real tough. Kash there could be such love in real life....I know there is but its rare.....how beautiful the world would have been.....
Go for it if you feel that Love is the way to live Life. I really liked it.
Indeed life is not a bed or roses for everyone at everytime....and why me? (the feeling by those who suffer) or a particular person has to suffer??? Isnt it still a mystery???
