This is the story of Neel Thakur (Devgan), a man with learning disabilities. He comes across Maya Trivedi (Esha Deol) and a friendship strikes between the two.

Maya, who comes from a rich family background has run away from her father because he does not pay attention to her.

Her friendship with Neel gradually turns to love, but when she becomes pregnant she leaves him holding the baby.

Neel raises his daughter Gungun but when she turns 7 years old, she refuses to go to school. Why? Because she thinks that she will become more intelligent than her dad - Neel has the brain of a 7 year old.

But the twist in this melodrama comes when Dayanath Trivedi (Anupam Kher), the father of Maya, decides to take custody of her granddaughter.

So Neel seeks the help of Neeti Khanna (Sushmita Sen), the best lawyer in town.

Neeti is too involved with her work to spend time with her son. Initially she refuses to take on Neel's case but later she goes back on her decision.

So what follows next is a Kramer versus Kramer style court room battle. Will Neel be able to convince the jury that a man with learning disabilities can take care of his daughter?

Without giving too much away I suggest you watch the film to find out.

Director Bewaja has put a lot of effort into the making of this film but little thought on the screenplay.

With a subject matter like this, one would expect few songs to enhance the proceedings. But on the contrary we are subjected to many song sequences and flashbacks which dampen the impact of the story.

Ajay Devgan is an actor of high calibre. So it is up to the director to extract the best out of him. Unfortunately Harry Bewaja fails to do so. In some of the scenes, Ajay tries hard to act like a man with learning disabilities, but he ends up looking comical.

Esha Deol 's performance seems to improve with every film. She is becoming more at ease in front of the camera. But it is Susmita Sen who steals the show with a superb performance. This actress will go places after Main Aisa Hi Hoon.

Also it is worth mentioning the young lass who plays the character of Gungun. She impresses with her acting to a point where you really feel for this child.

Overall Main Aisa Hi Hoon could have been a great film due to its unique subject, but with a weak screenplay and too many loose ends which are unexplained will hinder its performance at the UK box office.
