'Aksar
log
pyaar
mein
logic
ko
ignore
kar
dete
hain,
par
mein
pyaar
mein
thode
hi
hoon?',
quips
a
police
inspector
to
his
junior
while
investigating
a
case.
Well,
that's
exactly
the
sentiment
which
runs
through
you
while
watching
Karanvir
Bohra's
Bollywood
debut,
'Hume
Tumse
Pyaar
Kitna'.
First
things
first,
the
film
opens
in
a
picturesque
hill-station
where
it's
'pyaar
ka
aghaaz'
for
Dhruv
(Karanvir
Bohra)
when
he
comes
across
a
hotshot
novelist
Ananya
(Priya
Banerjee).
While
Dhruv
remains
in
his
la-la
land
for
most
of
the
time,
in
reality,
Ananya
is
in
love
with
a
rich
industrialist
(Sameer
Kocchar).
As
time
passes,
Dhruv's
love
turns
into
a
dark
obsession.
Things
take
an
ugly
turn
when
Ananya
decides
to
marry
her
lover
and
Dhruv's
infatuation
unleashes
mayhem
in
their
lives.
After
helming
many
popular
TV
shows,
Lalit
Mohan
makes
his
directorial
debut
in
films
with
'Hume
Tumse
Pyaar
Kitna'.
But
sadly,
the
impressive
things
in
his
first
film
are
just
a
few
counts
on
the
fingertips.
His
treatment
to
the
romantic
thriller
is
outdated
and
the
bleak
screenplay
does
no
good
either.
Hume
Tumse
Pyaar
Kitna
is
more
like
a
step
back
in
time
where
Bollywood
romanticised
stories
of
obssessive
lovers
who
thought
love
is
all
about
stalking,
harassing
and
doing
anything
and
everything
to
get
the
girl.
The
plot
lacks
suspense
to
keep
your
eyes
glued
to
the
screen.
Some
of
the
dialogues
have
more
cheese
than
your
pizza.
Karanvir
Bohra
who
successfully
pulled
off
anti-hero
roles
on
the
small
screen,
gets
to
tread
on
a
similar
path
in
his
Bollywood
debut
as
well
and
the
actor
is
convincing
in
his
role
to
a
large
extent.
It's
the
mediocre
writing
and
direction
which
prevents
him
from
rising
above
his
written
character.
Priya
Banerjee
disappoints
with
her
drab
act
and
Sameer
Kocchar
is
forgetable.
The
rest
of
the
cast
barely
leaves
a
mark.
Barring
the
songs,
most
of
the
camera
work
gives
you
the
feel
of
watching
a
daily
TV
soap
unfolding
on
the
big
screen,
where
the
characters
believe
in
some
'loud
acting'.
Only
the
title
track
holds
your
attention,
while
the
rest
simply
act
as
mere
fillers.
Karanvir
Bohra's
'Hume
Tumse
Pyaar
Kitna' trips
over
and
fails
to
maintain
a
fine
balance
between
romance
and
thrills.
Rajesh
Khanna-Hema
Malini's
iconic
song
by
the
same
name
from
'Kudrat'
deserved
a
better
tribute
than
this
lackluster
fare.
I
am
going
with
one
and
a
half
stars.
