Get ready for a trip down memory lane! The beloved 2004 romantic comedy Hum Tum, starring Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji, is set to return to the big screen on May 16, marking its 20th anniversary in style. Yash Raj Films has officially announced a special theatrical re-release of the film, reigniting excitement among fans who cherish this timeless tale of love, friendship, and fate.
Directed by Kunal Kohli and produced by Aditya Chopra, Hum Tum was a refreshing rom-com that cleverly explored the evolving relationship between a man and a woman through a series of unexpected encounters across continents. With its innovative narrative — blending animation, humor, and emotional depth — the film carved a unique space in Bollywood’s romantic genre.
Saif Ali Khan’s portrayal of the cheeky cartoonist Karan and Rani Mukerji’s spirited and strong-willed Rhea struck an instant chord with the audience. Their sparkling chemistry and witty banter made the film a box-office hit and a cultural favorite. Saif even won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance — a significant milestone in his career.
The soundtrack by Jatin-Lalit, featuring chart-topping hits like Ladki Kyon, Hum Tum, and Saanson Ko Saanson Mein, still lives on in playlists and radio shows, further fuelling the nostalgia factor for this re-release.
