With camera work by Anil Mehta and editing by A. Sreekar Prasad, the movie turned out to be one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of 2012.

Starring Rani Mukerji as the female lead, the romantic entertainer was once again released in the cinema halls on May 16. Helmed by Kunal Kohli, Hum Tum is inspired by the Hollywood classic, When Harry Met Sally... starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal.
