Hum (English: We/Us) is a 1991 Bollywood film directed by Mukul S. Anand. It stars Amitabh Bachchan, Rajnikant, Govinda, Kimi Katkar, Shilpa Shirodkar, Deepa Sahi and Danny Denzongpa. The film was a huge hit when released partly due to its use of the song Jumma Chumma which has become extremely popular to this day. However, the song was plagiarized from African musician Mory Kante's song "Tama Tama". http://www.itwofs.com/hindi-lp.htmlThis was the last successful film for Bachchan in the early 90s before he announced his temporary retirement immediately after the release of this film for five years.http://www.boxofficeindia.com/topactors.htm
Bhaktawar (Danny Denzongpa) is a criminal mastermind, and his most active territory is the dockyard. He constantly gets irritated by the dockyard's union leader, Tiger (Amitabh Bachchan), and only tolerates him, because Tiger's dad Deepak Shirke) is his bodyguard. During a confrontation between Tiger and Bhaktawar, Bhaktawar is reportedly killed, and Tiger has to run for his life, this time from the police, even abandoning his love Jumalina Gonsalves (Kimi Katkar). Years later, Tiger surfaces as a bespectacled mild-mannered man, with two younger brothers (Rajnikant & Govinda), one of whom is a police inspector. Soon the past catches up with Tiger (or Shekhar as he calls himself now), and he must now come to terms with it, and avoid being arrested by his brother. Written by rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)
Mainly a Thriller/Drama about corrupt police officers, crime rings and workers unions, the story of Hum is about a man named Tiger, who works, reluctantly, for the criminal Bhaktawar collecting 'protection money.' However, Tiger also helps the poor and leads protests against Bhaktawar's actions. He loves his family, and he loves his girlfriend Jumma even though their relationship seems to be a stormy one. Bhaktawar decides to bump off Tiger, but accidentally kills his parents instead, leaving Tiger to care for his two little step-brothers alone. The corrupt police inspector, Giridhar, takes advantage of this situation and, intending to steal Bhaktawar's fortune, frames Tiger for killing Bhaktawar's family before himself arresting Bhaktawar, thus ensuring that there will be no one to complain when he takes the money for himself. The story then picks up 15 years later: Tiger has changed his name to Shekhar and lives in the country with his two brothers, who are both adults now and one of whom is even married. Jumma, whom he was forced to leave in order to flee with his brothers, has become a famous actress and is still waiting for Tiger to come back to her. Inspector Giridhar has become rich from Bhaktawar's stolen fortune. And also, Bhaktawar himself has just been released from jail, and he wants revenge on the man he thinks murdered his family -- Tiger. Written by Talia Felix
HUM is a short film that reveals the darker side of the music industry through interviews and flashbacks of a former hit band still healing from the past. The remaining band members and the business team reveal the struggle to stay on top amidst egos, industry pressures and demons of self-doubt. Each interview sheds light on what happened while the flashbacks expose the truth behind the words as memories of the ultimate sacrifice flood back into their minds. They try to justify, forgive, deny and forget the tragedy of losing their bass player to the mind numbing comfort of heroin. In the end they are left with a haunting dark chord that resonates in the depths of their souls. Can you hear the HUM? Written by Cheryl Hendrickson
