WHAT IS IT: La Haine is a French film - shot in black and white and released in 1995 - directed and written by Mathieu Kassovitz. It is in French with English subtitles and is around 90 minutes long. The film centres around 3 young men living on an impoverished housing estate in France.

Hum tum- directed by Kunal Kohli,starring Saif Ali khan and Rani Mukherjee is essentially a love story spanning over a decade or so between a cartoonist-flamboyant karan and a more sensible Rhea.

The story unfolds at a decent pace and the script is very well ...
