Hum Do Hamare Do movie review: Rajkummar Rao, Kriti Sanon film is relentlessly banal

Here’s a bunch of actors who can, given the right material, could easily have made something of it. But that needs good writing, of which there is no evidence in the entirety of this film. Dhruv, as the self-made start-up entrepreneur, wants to do exciting things with virtual reality. What he gets are mothballed situations: Manu Rishi as the father of the bride who raves and rants about family ‘izzat’, Aparshakti Khurana as the Hero’s BFF whose only job is to prop him, the hero up; even his dearly beloved Anya, today’s girl, looks like she’s from day before yesterday, floating about jobless.

The only ones who occasionally make feeble attempts to rise above this muddle, Ratna Pathak Shah and Paresh Rawal, should have been given more to do. Or maybe have had the movie revolve around them. But the spark between them is never explored with any intent. Alas.
