Hum Tum Shabana – movie review

Two guys, one girl….seems like a simple enough love triangle right? Wrong! The film Hum Tum Shabana has romance, crazy bhais, rapchik items and dhamaal fun. There is nothing simple about this madcap story, especially when their rivalry to woo her lands them into a crazy contest of epic proportions. Soon enough, this battle to woo the girl, turns into a desperate battle to lose the girl! With a comic guru like Sagar Ballary at the helm, a super-talented comedic cast and a crackling music score, this is one drama which falls short of expectations. The film has a plot that is absurd at various points, but it does have a twist in the tale towards the post-interval portions. Rishi (Tusshar Kapoor) and Kartik (Shreyas Talpade) compete with each other to woo the same girl - Shabana (Minissha Lamba). Beginning with a little twist here - the woman they run after has an underworld conne ....
