Leaving out all the goofs, i would rate the film 8. That's because Rajinikanth has acted, and he speaks in his 1st language 'Kannada'.<br/><br/>Movie, has many goofs, yet fine to watch since you can see Amitabh and Rajini together. Cigarette act of Rajinikanth is good to see, he flicks it and puts into the mouth sudden - it looks like graphically made, but he does it.<br/><br/>The movie happens in Mumbai, Ooty, and Bangalore. All Bangaloreans should watch the movie. Amitabh has acted well. Govinda's role is like a dude. I don't know the names of the heroins, but the 'Jumaa Chumma' song is the best in the film. I hate when the little girl sometimes start singing suddenly in the plot of the movie. HUM or "US"redefined the notion of entertainment in indian cinema by introducing sophisticated use of camera framing and an exploration of the use of irony in the guise of farce .Most villains in Mukul Anand's films are caricatures and in this respect "HUM" introduces this specificity in this talented director's cinema. The rhythmic song and dance number "JOOMA CHUMMA DE DE "got packed houses dancing literally from India to USA.This film also brought to a cinema art et essai director his first feeling of what a popular film director's reputation meant .
