There are several suspects of Mahendranath's attempted murder, including Lalita (Aruna Irani), Jagat Murari and Shyamlal. A murder attempt on Mahendranath fails and the culprit is killed in a night club.
However, Vijay and Lalita (Aruna Irani) are engaged, which Aarti comes to know at later stage.Īarti's dad Shaymlal (Tarun Bose) is under threat of being killed and also businessman Mahendranath (Ashok Kumar). She comes to know about him and eventually also falls in love with him. Apart from these minor hitches, Hum tum and Them is a must watch with all essential ingredients in right proportions to make it an engrossing family drama.Vijay (Vinod Khanna) is in love with Aarti (Bharthi) and tries to woo her by disguising himself as a Sanskrit teacher. The Mumbai skyline visuals which appear quite often to denote day and night are an eyesore and hinder the flow of narration. The direction by Sahir Raza is great except for the fact that some sequences get repetitive and feel stretched.Įditor Geeta Singh fails in this aspect to make the narration more crisp and compact. This is aptly supported by Radhika Anand’s perfect screenplay. Preeti Mamgain’s story, concept and theme are quite contemporary and excellent. Kudos to the lyricist and musician Kingshuk Chakravarty along with singers Joell Mukherjee and Madhubanti Bagchi. Special mention should be made about the signature track “Kuch Is Tarah” which is quite pleasant to the ears. One more credible performance comes from Nikhil Sanga as Shiva’s convoluted husband. Trupti Khamkar as Gauri who plays the role of a mentor for Shiva carries her bit efficiently. She has good screen presence and displays desired skill to pull off the intricate character of Jahan with ease and efficacy.īhavin Bhanushali has chipped in with an impressive performance as Aryan, the son who hates his father.
She does a great job as a 13-year-old adolescent who gets entangled in the triangle comprising of Shiva, Yudi and Nikhil (Nikhil Sanga) who is her father. Sara gets a larger than life role as Jahan who is unable to come to terms with things happening around her and her mother’s life. Strangely but truly, when it comes to his daughter, he turns into a typical, over doting dad who doesn’t want her to cross the line.
Her scenes with Jahan bring out her best.Īkshay Oberoi looks young for a 40 plus year old father who spares no chance of enjoyment. Her brilliant performance as a possessive mother with a modern yet confused outlook craving true love is commendable. She has a perfectly created role to match her talent as Shiva.
Shweta Tiwari who is well known for her talented portrayals in many soap operas has come out of her comfort zone to do a web series for the first time. The journey to fill emptiness derived out of estrangement is what makes up the rest of the story. They struggle to combat their fears, misconceptions and challenges while Yudi and Shiva try to get along. Incidentally, all four children are drawn into a labyrinth of this relationship jigsaw. One fine night Shiva gate crashes her way rather unintentionally into Yudi’s life. On the other hand there is Shiva (Shweta Tiwari) who is on the verge of a divorce and lives separately with her teenage daughter Jahan (Sara Gesawat).
He has three teenage children, the hot headed elder son Aryan (Bhavin Bhanushali), frivolous daughter Vyoma (Aashika Bhatia) and joyful Ojhas (Gautam Ahuja) who are forced to live with their Dad after a 5 year long gap. Yudi (Akshay Oberoi) is a carefree single parent who lives his life to the fullest with no strings attached. If moms are from Venus, dads are from Mars and children are from Earth, then the outcome is obviously “Hum Tum And Them”. The first word about the series is that it is a great watch. Zee5 and ALTBalaji have come out with another family drama titled, “Hum Tum And Them, Bachchon Ke Side Effects” (HTAT).
