“Kho Gaye Hum Kahan” introduces stand-up comedian Imaad Ali (Siddhant Chaturvedi), whose witty commentary sets the stage for a Seinfeld-like exploration of three friends – Imaad, Ahana Singh (Ananya Panday), and Neil Pereira (Adarsh Gourav). The trio’s deep dive into social media becomes the central theme, exposing the pitfalls of its illusion of connectivity.

Directed by Arjun Varain Singh with Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti’s screenplay, the narrative delves into characters grappling with social media addiction but lacks the necessary impact. Tanay Satam’s cinematography enlivens even simple scenes, and Nitin Baid’s editing adheres to the “Less scrolling, more living” mantra, maintaining a smooth pace.

Ananya Panday impresses with her best performance as Ahana, displaying commendable confidence and depth. Siddhant Chaturvedi’s Imaad exudes refreshing authenticity, while Adarsh Gourav’s natural acting shines as Neil Pereira.

Director Arjun Varain Singh makes a meaningful debut, incorporating stand-up sets to enhance the narrative. The soundtrack surprises Karan Kanchan & Rashmeet Kaur’s “Ishq Nachaawe,” echoing the essence of Tera Naam Japdi Phiran.

“Kho Gaye Hum Kahan” offers a sweet, real depiction of friendship entangled in social media complexities. The film, with its predictable yet genuine narrative, encourages audiences to approach it without expectations, promising a relatable exploration of modern relationships and the impact of social media algorithms.

In conclusion, “Kho Gaye Hum Kahan” is a delightful journey into its characters’ lives, blending friendship and the chaotic world of social media, making it a worthwhile watch.
