Hum (English: "We/Us") is a 1991 Bollywood film directed by Mukul S. Anand. It stars Amitabh Bachchan, Rajnikant, Govinda, Kimi Katkar, Shilpa Shirodkar, Deepa Sahi and Danny Denzongpa. The film was a huge hit when released partly due to its use of the song "Jumma Chumma" which has become extremely popular to this day. However, the song was plagiarized from African musician Mory Kante's song "Tama Tama". [http://www.itwofs.com/hindi-lp.html] This was the last successful film for Bachchan in the early 90s before he announced his temporary retirement immediately after the release of this film for five years.

ynopsis

Tiger (Amitabh Bachchan) works for the local Don Bhaktawar (Danny Denzongpa) but never hesitates to revolt against him if he harms his friends or family. When his girlfriend Jumma (Kimi Katkar)'s brother Gonsalves (Romesh Sharma) is killed by Bhakhtawar for revolting against him, Tiger promises revenge. However Tiger's father Pratap (Deepak Shirde) intervenes and is killed accidentally. When corrupt police officer Girdhar (Anupam Kher) finds out that Tiger is on the hunt for Bhakhtawar, he kills Bhakhtawar's family and frames Tiger. Bhakhtawar is arrested soon after learning of his family's death for countless murders and promises to avenge his family's death by killing Tiger when he returns. Tiger is forced to go on the run with his two half-brothers with his girlfriend Jumma who decides to stay behind so that Tiger can fully concentrate on looking after his brothers. Many years later, he is now known as Shekhar and is living a happy life with his two grown-up brothers Kumar (Rajnikant) and Vijay (Govinda) as well as Kumar's wife Aarti (Deepa Sahi) and a daughter, Jyoti. Bhakhtawar returns from jail and is on the hunt for Tiger/Shekhar. What will happen to Tiger/Shekhar? Will his family find out about his past? Will he reunite with his love Jumma ever again?
