I wanted to stay till the bitter end to see just what could be worse than awful, but I turned chicken. Running away is often the only way to survive.

End result? Just time-pass.

The screenplay and story offer no originality. Visually the film is colourful, but the editing, oh yes, the editing with the usage of graphics and computerised effects makes the movie look like an amateurish attempt in filmmaking.

This film is best avoided.

Wonder what prompted Sagar Bellary to attempt Hum Tum Shabana?

On the whole, Hum Tum Shabana is a dull fare in spite of some enjoyable comic scenes. Its second half is irritating rather than entertaining, and that’s where the problem lies.

On the whole, HUM TUM SHABANA is a good idea gone wrong! It has a funny first half, but a disappointing second hour.

Though the film is not long, a 20-minute cut would have made a world of difference. It’s not a deadly comedy, but at least Bellary focuses on his prime motive – to make you laugh.
