I saw U Me Aur Hum on it first day of release last show and believe me it just blew my mind off...actually till the interval the film was seeming nice but it kept me and my wife guessing as to what the director wanted to portray....
Then came the interval and then came the second half and things kept changing as each and every scene unfolded and truly was better than the other....each and every scene made me feeling stronger that this dude called ajay devgan has taken a very wise decision of turning a director....
The film is nicely woven together with its own pace to establish things...but no where did I get bored trust me....slowly and steadily u keep getting involved in the characters and a point in the film comes when u feel that the characters are doing things around u and with what conviction....superb !!!!
Music is good and hummable and at the apt places foot tapping too....I enjoyed the title song whenever and whereever it came in the film....
The cinematography is eye pleasing and does not boast of over the board extensively shot visuals but keeps it to the required need....I loved the concept of close ups through out the film and that too the camera pans from one tightest close up to the other....and notice the camera movements in the dil dhakda song it vil make u feel tipsy....
but one thing which I totally disagree with producers now a days is that y do they touch the entire film digitally (DI - Digital Intermediate) it should be done to the parts which desperately need to be corrected....I mean it is something technical but it gives such an artificial feel to the film....its not this film alone I m pointing at but so many in the years gone by....I feel so and its not necessary that others should agree with me....
Kajol again proves that she is one of the finest actress we have in India....nothing more as her performance will leave u spellbound and speechless....
Ajay Devgan is amazing amazing and more amazing as a director and as an actor....flawless performance and controlled direction....class apart and stands out with a dinstinction....
Sumit Raghavan is anyways a good actor and here too does a convincing job...very good opportunity provided to him and he comes out with flying colors....
Divya Dutta is also convincing and performs well....
All others lend an able support and perform well....but UMAH is out and out ajay devgan's film no doubt....
A film with a sure shot repeat value....
A big Umaaah to UMAH
A must must must watch!!!!!!!!

hey mukesh thanx for ur reply i hope u liked the review and other reviews too...
u asked me about DI....c its a process of putting the machine on a hard disk and then touching it digitally to make corrections on the video if needed like if while shooting the color of the sky is not the blue which is required then this job can be done in DI....certain special effects which need to be done in the film can be carried out here and then u have the final film ready for release and all this without a single bit of quality loss in the film....
mukesh...for u to understand this better i just downloaded some text from wikepedia may be it comes to ur help.....
Digital intermediate (often abbreviated as DI) describes the process of digitizing a motion picture and manipulating color and other image characteristics to change the look, and is usually the final creative adjustment to a movie before distribution in theaters. It is distinguished from the telecine process in which film is scanned and color is manipulated but only intended for video and television distribution. A digital intermediate is also customarily done at higher resolution and with greater color fidelity than telecine transfers and utilizes only digital tools (no analog video devices).
Although originally used to describe a process that started with film scanning and ended with film recording, digital intermediate is also used to describe color grading and final mastering even when a digital camera is used as the image source and/or when the final movie is not output to film. This is due to recent advances in digital cinematography and digital projection technologies that strive to match or exceed the quality of film origination and film projection.
In traditional photochemical film finishing, an intermediate is produced by exposing film to the original camera negative. The intermediate is then used to mass-produce the films that get distributed to theaters. Color grading is done by varying the amount of red, green, and blue light used to expose it. One of the key technical achievements that make the DI possible is the look-up table (aka "LUT"), which visually predicts how the digital image will look once it's printed onto normal release print stock. DI facilities generally allow comparing the digital image directly to a print on the same screen, ensuring precise calibration of the process.
The digital intermediate process uses digital tools to color grade, which allows for much finer control of individual colors and areas of the image, and allows for the adjustment of image structure (grain, sharpness, etc). The intermediate for film reproduction is then produced by means of a film recorder. The physical intermediate film that is a result of the recording process is sometimes also called a digital intermediate, and is usually done using internegative (IN) stock, which is inherently finer-grain than camera negative (OCN). |

sorry a CORRECTION :
u asked me about DI....c its a process of putting the FILMs negative on a hard disk and then touching it digitally to make corrections on the video |
