U Me Aur Hum

The narrative moves between the present-day framing and a flashback to Ajay’s younger days on a cruise, where he falls in love with Piya, and the more recent years when Alzheimer’s reshapes their life. The time frame centers on a long-marriage arc, spanning decades rather than a single moment.

The primary settings unfold aboard a luxury cruise ship during the couple’s 25th anniversary, interwoven with scenes at their home where they share memories and write a wish list. As the story shifts to later years, a care facility becomes part of the landscape as Piya’s Alzheimer's progresses. The changing locales reflect the arc from bright romance to enduring commitment through illness.

💞 Enduring Love

The story tests love’s staying power as Ajay remains devoted to Piya through memory loss, choosing to keep them together and to celebrate their relationship year after year. The romance is presented as a lifelong commitment rather than a single infatuation.

🧠 Memory and Identity

Alzheimer’s disease erodes Piya’s memory, challenging their sense of self and the couple’s shared history. The film examines how memory anchors relationships and how care, patience, and ritual can sustain identity in the face of degenerative illness.

🕰️ Time and Reflection

A framing device juxtaposes present-day caregiving with a past romance on a cruise, highlighting how moments from the past continue to shape the couple’s life. Time is both a force that changes memory and a resource for cherished recollections.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family Bonds

Ajay’s devotion extends beyond the couple to family and friends who support them through crisis. The narrative suggests chosen family—the friends on the cruise and their son—plays a crucial role in navigating hardship and preserving love.
