### Plot
Dhruv Shikhar ([Rajkummar Rao](https://www.edgepedia.org/rajkummar-rao)) grows up as an orphan, works at a highway dhaba as a boy, and builds himself into a successful entrepreneur with a virtual reality application.[7](https://www.moviemeter.com/movies/comedy/hum-do-hamare-do) At the launch of his app he meets Anya Mehra ([Kriti Sanon](https://www.edgepedia.org/kriti-sanon)), a social media star and blogger who lost her own parents as a child and was raised by her uncle and aunt.[7](https://www.moviemeter.com/movies/comedy/hum-do-hamare-do) • [5](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/hum-do-hamare-do/ottmoviereview/86840771.cms) The two fall in love, but Anya wants to marry into "a sweet family and a cute doggy", and Dhruv fears she will leave him if she learns he has no one.[5](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/hum-do-hamare-do/ottmoviereview/86840771.cms)
With his friend Shunty ([Aparshakti Khurana](https://www.edgepedia.org/aparshakti-khurana)), Dhruv recruits Purshottam Mishra ([Paresh Rawal](https://www.edgepedia.org/paresh-rawal)), the dhaba owner he worked for as a child, and Deepti Kashyap ([Ratna Pathak Shah](https://www.edgepedia.org/ratna-pathak-shah)), Purshottam's college love, to play his mother and father.[5](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/hum-do-hamare-do/ottmoviereview/86840771.cms) Purshottam and Deepti had wanted to marry years earlier but the plan failed when she developed cold feet, so the film runs a second, older love story alongside the younger one.[5](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/hum-do-hamare-do/ottmoviereview/86840771.cms) The truth about the fake parents comes out on the day of Dhruv's engagement, and whether the couple's love survives the deception forms the crux of the story.[1](https://filminformation.com/featured/hum-do-hamare-do-review-29-october-2021/) • [5](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/hum-do-hamare-do/ottmoviereview/86840771.cms)
## Title and theme
The title borrows the Hindi family planning slogan of the 1970s, "hum do, hamare do" (we two, our two), which promoted two-child families; the film reworks the phrase rather than treating family planning itself.[8](https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/hum-do-hamare-do-review/20211029.htm) Reviewers read the film as an argument that a family need not be defined by blood ties or a shared surname: one critic placed it as a step away from the joint-family ideal of earlier [Hindi cinema](https://www.edgepedia.org/hindi-cinema), comparing its redefinition of family to [Hirokazu Kore-eda](https://www.edgepedia.org/hirokazu-kore-eda)'s *Shoplifters* (2018).[9](https://silverscreenindia.com/movies/reviews/hum-do-hamare-do-review-some-earnest-performances-in-a-listless-comedy/) [The Indian Express](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-indian-express) framed the premise as the question of whether blood ties are the only metric for a family, while judging the film's execution to avoid any complexity.[10](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/hum-do-hamare-do-movie-review-rajkummar-rao-kriti-sanon-7596508/)
## Production and casting
The story is credited to Deepak Venkateshan and Abhishek Jain, with a screenplay by Prashant Jha; Jain had earlier directed Gujarati films including *Bey Yaar*.[1](https://filminformation.com/featured/hum-do-hamare-do-review-29-october-2021/) • [5](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/hum-do-hamare-do/ottmoviereview/86840771.cms) [Dimple Kapadia](https://www.edgepedia.org/dimple-kapadia) was announced as a lead, though once the COVID-19 pandemic delayed production she left the project, with Ratna Pathak Shah taking over her role.[11](https://www.netflixmovies.com/hum-do-hamare-do-2021) The supporting cast includes Manu Rishi Chadha as Anya's uncle Dr. Sanjeev Mehra, Prachee Shah as Rupa Mehra, and Saanand Verma as Shaadiram.[4](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11816092/)
## Reception
Critical response was divided mainly along the script. The Times of India gave 3 out of 5, calling it a decent watch whose second half lags, and praising Rajkummar Rao's earnest performance and Kriti Sanon's work.[5](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/hum-do-hamare-do/ottmoviereview/86840771.cms) Bollywood Hungama rated it 2.5, saying it rests on a great plot and fine performances but an average script and weak climax diminish the impact.[12](https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/hum-do-hamare-do-2/critic-review/hum-do-hamare-do-2-movie-review/the-average-script-and-weak-climax-diminishes-the-impact-of-hum-do-hamare-do/) NDTV and The Indian Express each gave 1.5 stars; Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV called it an unfunny caper with a patchy script, while Shubhra Gupta of the Indian Express found it relentlessly banal and wrote that Paresh Rawal and Ratna Pathak Shah should have been given more to do.[13](https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/hum-do-hamare-do-review-kriti-sanons-is-most-noteworthy-performance-in-unfunny-caper-1-5-stars-out-of-5-2591905/amp/1) • [10](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/hum-do-hamare-do-movie-review-rajkummar-rao-kriti-sanon-7596508/) Hindi-language reviews were similarly mixed: ABP Live gave 3.5 and praised the Rajkummar Rao-Kriti Sanon pairing, while the Navbharat Times critic gave 3.0.[14](https://www.abplive.com/movie-review/entertainment/movie-review-hum-do-hamare-do-review-this-is-the-new-age-family-planning-rajkummar-kriti-created-magic-in-romantic-comedy-1989166) • [15](https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-review/hum-do-hamare-do-movie-review-in-hindi/moviereview/87357874.cms) On IMDb the film holds 6.1/10 from about 8,300 ratings.[6](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11816092/ratings/)
## Availability
After its Disney+ Hotstar premiere, the film has remained on streaming services: as of the most recent checks it streams on Hulu in the United States and free with ads on JioHotstar in India.[2](https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/hum-do-hamare-do) • [16](https://ottasia.com/title/movie/798159/hum-do-hamare-do)
## Same-title 1984 film
An earlier Hindi film of the same name, *Hum Do Hamare Do* (1984), is a drama directed by B.R. Ishara starring [Raj Babbar](https://www.edgepedia.org/raj-babbar) and [Smita Patil](https://www.edgepedia.org/smita-patil), about a man burdened with the responsibility of six sisters who turns down a marriage proposal.[17](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hum-do-hamare-do) It is unrelated to the 2021 comedy apart from the title.
