A great comedic journey. Full of gags and entertainment. Phenomenal acting and a great context of the story.  On the technical terms, the movie fits real good. The direction is precise and cinematography is great. Songs are not memorable but can be placed in the playlist for once.  In the end, the movie is one-time watch. 

Several sub-stories run through 'Hope Aur Hum', almost all of which deal with themes of old versus new, letting destiny take its own course and even the more serious ones that deal with guilt and death. The entire segment where little Anu fights an inner battle about an act of his that could have serious repercussions is shown beautifully by the filmmaker and the young actor Kabir. Another place where the film scores well is the casting, which helps make it even more believable and the characters relatable. The dialogues, too, crack you up every now and then, which help because the film dabbles often with philosophical subjects. While the philosophizing doesn’t get too heavy, towards the end one feels there could have been a better, more layered payoff rather than the simple one that is served. The film is more interesting in parts, while the whole feels a bit disjointed. A tighter script could have helped, but for now, the little gags in the film work just fine.
