Hum Dono (transl. Both of Us) is a 1961 Hindi film produced by Dev Anand and Navketan films. Amarjeet is credited as the film's director, but producer and star Dev Anand claimed that it was his brother Vijay Anand, who directed the film, based on his own script.[1] The film stars Dev Anand in a double role, and also has Nanda, Sadhana and Leela Chitnis.[1]

It was relaunched in colour after exactly 50 years on 4 February 2011.[2]

The film is also known for its music by Jaidev and became a box office hit.[3] The movie was later made in Telugu as Ramuni Minchina Ramudu with N. T. Rama Rao. Also, a Bengali movie Uttarayan was made starring Uttam Kumar in the lead based on the novel by Tarashankar Bandopadhyay. Hum Dono's story is loosely based on Uttarayan. The movie is fondly remembered for its memorable lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi and music by Jaidev.[4]
