I wonder what director Mashoor Amrohi was thinking when he made Hum Sey Hai Jahan. Only he knows. Launching himself, the grandson of Kamal Amrohi, with this film is surely a decision gone wrong. Was the film made to be a spoof of other stereotypical commercial films, or was it made to be a complete nonsensical comedy? Either ways Hum Sey Hai Jahan is bad.

Technically the camera and direction were all right. But what they failed to do was to mute the abusive language used occasionally.

Living life as a con-man in Singapore, Sameer Khanate (Mashoor Amrohi) lands up working as a 'recovery agent' for Gary Rosario (Jackie Shroff [Images]), a goon and owner of night clubs.

Earning his livelihood by cheating people of their money, Sameer's life takes a turn when his brother lands in a financial crisis and needs money. When his boss refuses to help him, Sameer makes a plan to kidnap the daughter, Esha, of a superstar, Gyaneshwar Singh (Shehzad Khan) in order to solve his problem.

He pretends to fall in love with Esha (Vishaka Singh), not knowing that he is actually gone head over heels in love. He takes her off to a romantic weekend with the motive of spending quality time with her, and letting her dad think she's been kidnapped and demand a ransom from him. Esha gets duped and agrees to elope with Sameer.

Gyaneshwar, who believes that Esha has been kidnapped, is forced to call his best friend, Gary, who happens to be Esha's godfather, for help. Gary promises to bring back Esha safe and sound and puts his best man Sameer on the job.

The film unfolds with further complications when Sameer gets involved in a drug deal and loses Esha to a gang of druglords, Dabar (Mukesh Rishi) and Pran Panwara (Kiran Kumar); the latter is also Gyaneshwar's relative.

Sameer saves Esha from Dabar and Pran in a series of dramatic escape and gunfights, the couple abscond, letting everyone assume that Esha is dead.

What happens next leads up to a confusing and tiresome climax, where all ends well. All in all a film not worth watching.
