'Hum' is an action-oriented dramatic thriller about corrupt police officers, crime rings and workers unions, the story of 'Hum' is about a man named Tiger, who works, reluctantly, for the criminal Bhaktawar collecting 'protection money.' However, Tiger also helps the poor and leads protests against Bhaktawar's actions. He loves his family, and he loves his girlfriend Jumma even though their relationship seems to be a stormy one.
Bhaktawar decides to dispose off Tiger, but accidentally kills his parents instead, leaving Tiger to care for his two little step-brothers alone. The corrupt police inspector, Giridhar, takes advantage of this situation and, intending to steal Bhaktawar's fortune, frames Tiger for killing Bhaktawar's family before himself arresting Bhaktawar, thus ensuring that there will be no one to complain when he takes the money for himself.
The story then picks up 15 years later: Tiger has changed his name to Shekhar and lives in the country with his two brothers, who are both adults now and one of whom is even married. Jumma, whom he was forced to leave in order to flee with his brothers, has become a famous actress and is still waiting for Tiger to come back to her. Inspector Giridhar has become rich from Bhaktawar's stolen fortune. And also, Bhaktawar himself has just been released from jail, and he wants revenge on the man he thinks murdered his family -- Tiger.

Trivia:
Amitabh Bachchan's performance was hailed by the critics and audiences alike, winning him the Filmfare Best Actor Award in 1992.
The blockbuster song "Jhumma Chumma" was originally recorded for the Ramesh Sippy shelved film "Ram Ki Sita Shyam Ki Gita". It was to star Amitabh Bachchan and Sri Devi in double roles. When the film stopped Mukul Anand made a personal request to use the song in his film "Hum".
For a particular shot the team had to to get up before sunrise, which was in Winter Udhagamandalam (Ooty). Amitabh got up at 4.30am. He did the same thing for three days till the shot was approved.
The most successful film amongst the Mukul Anand trilogy with Bachchan which includes "Agneepath" and "Khuda Gawah".
In the film Rajnikant is shown as 15 years younger to Bachchan, when actually they are of a similar age group.
This film was Amitabh's only hit during 1991 when his other films failed to click at the box office. After its blockbuster success, he announced his retirement, but returned to the silver screen after five years.
