'Jo Hum Chahein' endeavors to strike a fresh note, but alas, it's let down by the weight of its trite dialogues. It's a decent first effort, even though it smacks of sameness.

Essentially a non-happening film with mediocre acting.

The leads look as if they have just strolled off modeling assignments, and speak out their lines, putting their best profiles forward.

On the whole, JO HUM CHAHEIN is a decent watch that will require a strong word of mouth to leave a mark.

The only performance of note is that of Aly Khan who brings in that intensity to his character that makes it very real. Cool, calm and calculated.

On the whole, Jo Hum Chahein is a non-starter. It is so boring and dull that it can't be expected to pick up after the terribly weak start.
