It has bits of everything and is generally well made, although it does tend to be melodramatic at several sequences. Overall, Akele Hum Akele Tum is a very enjoyable family drama. Tanvi Azmi also gives a very fine performance. She is credible in every shade her character goes through.
She is first a young dreamy girl who wants to become a singer, then a married woman, then an angry mother/homemaker whose inferiority complex and dissatisfaction from her life and marriage cause her to try to find a new life, then a reigning singer, then a suffering mother whose determination to get her son back looks almost selfish. Koirala is both beautiful and convincing. This is one of Khan's best performances - very mature, very natural, at times restrained and at times temperamental. Aamir Khan and Manisha Koirala have a fantastic chemistry (I also loved their collaboration in the 1999 film Mann). All the songs are extremely well pictured in the film. "Raja Ko Rani Se" is very melodious and romantic, "Aisa Zakham Diya" is youthful and catchy, "Akele Hum Akele Tum" is a great song showing the loving relationship of a father and his son (and the fact that it's actually sung by Udit Narayan and his real-life son Aditya makes it even more convincing), "Dil Mera Churaya Kyon" is beautifully melancholic, and "Dil Kehta Hai" is another amazingly exciting and romantic gem. Anu Malik's music is exceptional and every song stands out (even though some of them, like the film itself, are unoriginal). Mansoor Khan's direction is very good and it is aided by a very memorable soundtrack and great casting. That's why this is one remake which is easier to forgive. It's like showing the motives behind Meryl Streep's character's decision to leave her husband, giving a larger view of what could probably have happened in the middle, and ending it up with a more complete ending. There are actually several sequences which are copied frame-by-frame, which is annoying, but I did like the fact that it was like an expansion of the Kramer vs. The film has bits of both films, though it's much more similar to the latter. Kramer showed two separated parents fighting over their child's custody. Abhimaan showed the rise of one spouse in the music industry to another's fall, and Kramer vs. The film seems to have been inspired by two films, Abhimaan and Kramer vs. Akele Hum Akele Tum is a very entertaining and charming film.
