Quotes:

Karan Kapoor: There're 6 hours before our flight to New York and sitting in this airport is boring. Why don't we go sight-seeing in Amsterdam. It shouldn't be a problem since you have a visa.
Rhea Prakash: How do you know I have a visa?
Karan Kapoor: Because in the plane I checked your passport!
Rhea Prakash: WHAT? You went through my bag?
Karan Kapoor: You were asleep and I was bored, I saw your bag and figured I'd take a look.
Rhea Prakash: How dare you? Don't you know you can't go through lady's handbags?
[begins walking ahead]
Karan Kapoor: Why not? What's the big secret? Fine, I won't do it again. Wait, I said I was sorry. Where are you going?

Hum Tum

Nice flick

I enjoyed Hum Tum. To no one's surprise, Saif and Rani did a superb job. I don't think anyone has better comic timing than Saif. He's a natural actor. Rani has always worked really hard. Songs were great. I especially liked the Mere Dil Vich Hum Tum track and the title song. Like all other Yash Raj films, this movie has a very fresh feeling. I was rather delighted to see all the guest appearances. I was completely unaware of that. I really am not a fan of Rishi Kapoor. I don't know why, but I find him really irritating. He just doesn't seem that convincing to me. The cartoons got really irritating. It's weird, in the middle of a real-people movie, to all of a sudden start watching cartoon characters. Thankfully, the cartoons died down a bit in the second half. It's also a bit annoying how the film spans over nine years. Every half hour it says "3 years later," "1 year later," "4 years later." Being a Yash Raj film, my expectations for this movie were super-duper high, but I still liked it. It's a fun-filled romantic comedy.
