Storyline

Armaan's (Arshad Warsi) life is picture perfect; a loving girlfriend and a great job as a fashion photographer. Yet things aren't as perfect as they seem to be. He is a chronic patient of insomnia though his sleeplessness is not a function of a sleeping disorder. The truth is that he hears voices - voices that torture him, voices that don't let him have his peace, and voices that nobody else can hear. While his friends sympathize with him, his girlfriend, Gehna (Dia Mirza), is irritated with his weird behavior while her father constantly berates him for his fondness for the bottle. No one seems to understand Armaan's predicament. What is even more puzzling is the fact that he talks to himself...or rather, to people, whom no one can see! Suddenly aware of his special ability to connect with the souls that haven't crossed over, and equipped with a will to fulfill the wishes of the spirits that hound him, Armaan sets out on a mission to help three souls - a child, an old man, and a young...

User Reviews

Hum Tum aur Audience

At the outset let me tell you that "Hum Tum Aur Ghost" is safe for one- time watch. Sooner than later I am sure this will get aired on telly and don't miss it then. It has a decent story-line and a fair share of laughs are thrown in for good measure.

Arshad Warsi:: He was cool in the character of Armaan Suri. The alcoholic, scared, Samaritan, lover boy - he managed it all with ease. Luckily he did not succumb to overdose of one-liners. I especially liked when poked at Maria Goretti.

Diya Mirza:: She was fresh and complimented Arshad Warsi quite nicely.

Boman Irani:: At first I thought the character will be similar to the ghost from "Chamatkar". For the length of the role he had, he was alright. And largely his plot seemed like mini-me of "Baghbaan".

Sandhya Mridul:: Just about OK. And the truth was kind of coming.

Javed Sheikh, Asawari Joshi, Tinnu Anand were adequate.

Shernaz Patel plot was not warranted. In fact when that angle sets in, it starts giving deja vu of Karthik Calling Karthik.

The plot could have easily based in any metro city in India and perhaps made the audience connect better. There was absolutely no value-addition in setting the story abroad.

Songs are hummable.
