It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

My early review was favourable towards this movie apparently. I just watched this movie again recently. Not a good movie. are my RATINGS:Performance: Amitabh Bachchan -- 7/10 (Some of the comic scenes work...some don't)Sanjay Dutt -- 6/10 (nothing funny given to him)Ajay Devgan -- 8/10 (manages to make some unfunny moments funny)Aishwariya Rai -- 3/10 (has nothing much to do)Paresh Rawal -- 7/10 (good in small role)Other Supporting Actors -- 5/10 (not much funny with 'em)OVERALL -- (ROUNDED) 6/10 Story -- 1/10 (wtf is the story???)Screenplay -- 1/10 (total mess)Lyrics -- 1/10 (not impressed)Music -- 2/10 (except for one song, it fails to impress)Direction -- 1/10 (the movie's lost (pun intended)) OVERALL ----- (ROUNDED) 1/10It's only getting 2 because of the decent performances largely let down by the crap everything else...

um, Ajay please don't do any more such favours in the future! This film is purely for fans of one of more of the main characters namely: Aishwarya Rai, Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt. The script, I've read is a copy of Robert Deniro's 'Analyze This' but while I've never seen the Deniro version, I can only imagine that it is the better version. Sometimes, when a Bollywood film stinks, the songs in it come out and save the day, too bad I can't say the same for this film. The only thing good about it, is Aishwarya Rai and her beautiful retro clothes, thin figure and magnificent dancing! The rest, as I should say is crap. My 7 point vote and review is strictly for Aishwarya. Even Amitabh could not save this!

I am great fan of Billy Crystal, De Nero and Amitabh. And would have loved to see desi version of Analyze This. But the way this movie has churned into - its a piece of crap. There are so many holes in the movie that make you wonder what made great actors like Amitabh, Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan and Aishwarya agree to be a part of this project. Wonder why was Sanjay Dutt cast as the don and Amitabh as the Doctor!!! Have we forgotten Deewar or Agneepath? Does it stand anywhere close to Vaastav?And added to that we have such stupid songs "Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hain" which only David Dhawan could conceive. As for the comedy, excuse me!!! Pathetic is not the word. And the way Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan try to outdo each other, please come up with something better.I mean, you have such a great star-cast and such a weak story! Aptly said "All foam no beer".An ideal star-cast would have been Amitabh (for Robert De Nero's role) and Naseer (for Billy Crystal). And cut out the formula romantic track.

"Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin" is an entertaining copy of the De Niro / Crystal-comedy "Analyze This". Macho-man Sanjay Dutt is wisely casted in the De Niro role (both performances live from the image the viewer has of the actors) while Crystal's role is played by Amitabh Bachchan. That casting might not be obvious in the first place, but "Big B" makes the character his own rather soon and we go along with it. He is of course not anywhere as funny as Billy Crystal, but Bachchan has other qualities that make his appearance a good one.Director Dhavan and writer Bhatt ("Ajnabi", "Mela") focus more on the complex web of relations than on the comedy. There are more story lines in "HKSKN" than in "Analyze This", boosting the film's length to a Bollywood-friendly 163 minutes. However, this is not always to the film's advantage. As much as I like Ajay Devgan, I thought his whole plot line is rather unessential to the film. He acts well and I liked seeing him, but if one thing had to go, it would be his role.That leaves me with one other player: The always stunning Aishwarya Rai. Nobody faints more beautiful than she does - and her dance in a miniskirt will sure amount to a couple of heart attacks among the male audience. She's just a pleasure to watch and acts her part full of life. She's definitely a huge plus in "HKSKN".However, because the story is already well known and because the ending is pretty weak, I'd stick with a rating of6/10
