The story is about the lives of 3 people who are in 3 different positions.Where KAtrina is engaged to a rich businessman ,Akshay portrays a automobile engineer.Bipash is a good friend of Akshay and wishes to marry him. The simple story paves way to some good cameos.Sometimes relatives wont have much to do as that in the film.But they are helpful in every way they can. Love comes through friendship and it comes from each ones heart.The sound tracks are simple and good. When people come in position and power they forget themselves.This is what is shown but some people come back to their original self.Bipasha appears to be a good friend and leaves him.She encourages him to go ahead when she is crying in her mind. Overall,superb performance

Love (that is, male-female love) is one of the most interesting topics of all the discussions especially when the discussing people are young. Love is also one of the most popular themes for works of fiction, may it be stories or novels or plays or movies. Indian society has seldom been liberal enough to accept love and choosing of own life partner on the part of the young generation. Still love stories have been the most popular ones in Indian movies. Perhaps half of the movies made in different languages of India are having male-female love only as the theme. Why when the Indian society has always considered love as something not desirable and the youths have always been expected to follow the dictates of their elders in matrimonial matters ? Because what's tabooed only attracts the most. It contains a fascination, the fascination of a forbidden fruit. And when adolescence dawns on human-beings, barring exceptions, who does not feel an attraction towards the opposite sex ? Social restrictions can check and affect concrete actions but not the feelings in hearts.But then what's love ? Attraction motivated by (indirect and hidden) carnal needs ? Liking for someone ? Infatuation for someone ? Or something else ? How do we come to know that we are in love with someone special ? How does it dawn on a female that she is in love with a particular male or on a male that he is in love with a particular female ? Well, it dawns through a feeling. A feeling in one's heart which finally envelops his / her whole personality and pervades all his / her thoughts. Yes, love is a feeling and that's why it can't be described or elaborated, it can only be sensed.Bollywood film director Raj Kanwar has directed some good movies. He has a mixed track record consisting of some hits and some flops. Humko Deewaana Kar Gaye (2006) is a flop movie directed by him. However when I saw this movie, I found it to be a fairly good movie - a love story which underscores a very significant fact that I have asserted supra - 'Love is a feeling'. You know it when you feel it. This feeling only is the biggest and in fact, the only evidence of existence of love for someone in your heart.Humko Deewaana Kar Gaye (left me crazy) is the love story of Aaditya (Akshay Kumar) and Jia (Katrina Kaif) who run into each other in Canada. On one hand, Aaditya is already engaged to Sonia (Bipasha Basu), on the other, Jia is the betrothed of Karan (Anil Kapoor). Love blossoms in their hearts with a feeling that they are comfortable in each other's company, they love to be in each other's company and they want each other's company for their lifetime. Through his association with Jia, Aaditya comes to understand that he is not meant for Sonia and Jia only can fill the vacuum in his life. On the other side, Jia understands through Aaditya that love is nothing but a feeling and that feeling she has developed for Aaditya and not Karan.The twist in the tale arrives through a mistake by Aaditya's drunkard friend Nawaab (Vivek Shauq) making some tragic facts of Jia's personal life public which, in turn, leaves her heartbroken and misunderstanding Aaditya for that. Jia gets married to Karan and then only she comes to know that Aaditya is innocent regarding this bad taste giving incident happened with her. But it's too late now. However the story gets a final twist in the climax to have a happy ending for the lovers (and the other ones associated with them too).Except for the melodramatic and unimpressive climax of the story, Humko Deewaana Kar Gaye is overall a good movie which touches the audience, especially the romantic hearts, at many places. The romance of the lead pair in Canada is lovely with the beautiful surroundings adding immensely to it. The sequence of the lead pair moving together in a cold, snowy night is not only very romantic but also very emotional. Life, in the real sense, is only a collection of moments. And there are certain moments that we cherish forever. The romantic moments spent in the association of the sweetheart are such moments only. During them only the feeling of love is felt with utmost intensity.The scene in which Aaditya refers to the wife (Upasana Singh) of his friend Gurpreet (Gurpreet Ghuggi) in a derogatory way and thus generating a wrong notion in his friend's heart for his wife's past leading to a rift between the husband and the wife plus the following scene in which Aaditya only takes corrective action for the unintentional wrong done by him and reunites the couple, are highly touching and underscore the significance of mutual trust in marital life.The movie contains ample comic and relief moments too. The comedy done by Late Vivek Shauq, Gurpreet Ghuggi and child artist Master Abhay Kanwar alongwith Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif generates abundant laughs for the audience. There is a lot of fun and entertainment in the movie before the principal twist in the story thereafter it becomes heavy with sentiments.Technically the movie is admirable. Canada appears to be very beautiful on the screen. There is only one action scene in the movie (in the climax) and that's been executed very well. Editing is good but should have been tighter to reduce the length of the movie. Background score is good. Dialogs contain the essence of the movie.Humko Deewaana Kar Gaye is by no means any extra-ordinary movie. It's a routine love story whose direction is also more or less routine only. However, by default perhaps, it strikes the romantic hearts in a latent way and finds a quality within itself.

As far as I am concerned this movie is OK. I see it from a very different light. 1. actors and actresses are supposed to be flexible and are supposed to be able to play all kinds of role or else we don't refer to them as good. So there is absolutely nothing wrong with our hero playing a romantic even though he's known for action packed roles. Even Hollywood actors and actresses play roles outside the ones they are known for e.g Tom Cruise in "Eyes wide shut" and "Vanilla sky", Bruce Willis in "Colour of the night" Even Arnold in "The twin"etc. SO I don't see that point against him at all.2 Well I agree the plot is guy saves girl from trouble and girl falls in love with guy and trouble because the family wont agree which is common but most Indian films are kind of something like and all the same the movie is still touching and it is OK for a romance film.Like I said before as far as I am concerned the movie is okay and I like it a lot I've watched the ending time and again for countless number of times cos I love it a lot. Kudos to the director. And my people in here you don't have to take things so personal as so many people are doing in here. If you hate the director there are better ways of expressing it.

i just watched it now i never loved a movie that much only Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna is The only Movie i Love more than Humko Deewana Kar Gaye but Still Humko Deewana Kar Gaye so wonderful the story not far from Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna anyway The Love must when no matter what thats my opinion besides i don't agree with those kids who don't like Humko Deewana Kar Gaye or Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and No Wonder because you cant like those movies unless you are mature enough and understand the true meaning of love and also have to not be soo chaotic about what u believe just have to feel the love because love is the greatest faith in this life you don't agree with that who cares you will die alone!
