Hope Aur Hum movie review: what critics say (5)
What critics say Critics are divided: 1 of 5 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 2 gave it 2 or less.
Hope Aur Hum never strays into complicated territory and sticks to its gentle celebration of everyday highs and lows. Its idealism may seem intentional, but never ever contrived.
Read the full reviewEverything old is eventually replaced by something new, and it's best to adapt. Whether it is an ancient photocopier or a big old house.
Read the full reviewThe film boasts of moderate production values. The background score by Rupert Fernandez is bright and chirpy. The songs; "Aache bachche rote nahin" and "Aye Zindagi" snuggly mesh into the narrative.
Read the full reviewHope Aur Hum doesn't believe in subtlety when it comes to drumming home its message of old giving way to the new, saddling Naseeruddin Shah with the burden of making audiences hope that, surely, there is something better around…
Read the full reviewWhile the philosophising 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.

Hope Aur Hum audience rating and reviews
How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
