Analysis
Where comedy can be a good genre to make a successful film given the entertainment value it has, it can also destroy the film if it’s slapstick, stretched and tried too hard to be funny. This is sadly the case with Hum Tum Shabana.
With no progression of the story in the first half, it seems as if the second half is on a crazy spree with the immediate turn of events and the story trying too hard to perform itself. The comedy is painful, and the script has nothing very original to offer.
Star Performances
The star performances are quite average with Tusshar Kapoor merely extending his role in Golmaal, except with voice here and Shreyas Talpade not making much of effort to be different.
Minissha Lamba and

are kind of tolerable with Lamba proving yet again of her limited acting capabilities. Satish Kaushik does justice to his role, but we can’t blame him for the fallacies in the plot and direction.
What’s There?
Some good hummable music. Satish Kaushik is to watch out for. A visually colorful movie.
What’s not there?
The editing and effects are like as if done by an amateur. A good, focussed plot with actually funny comedy. Too many attempts at making the story work, but hardly any of them does.
