Synopsis
The story opens with the kidnapping of Panna Barve (Tabu), the daughter of Chief Minister Malti Barve (Suhasini Mulay). The responsible gang's demand is that one of their members be released from police custody. While in captivity, Panna reminisces about her childhood, where she had to struggle to grow up with a power hungry and inconsiderate mother and a simple, quiet, and spineless father (Shivaji Satam). Panna's mother had also been carrying on a rather open affair with party co-member Sawantrao Gadre (Mohan Agashe). Flashback over and Panna soon meets the man behind her kidnapping Aditya (Sunil Shetty) who Panna knows from before.Via second flashback, we learn that Panna and "Adi" were lovers once upon a time. Their closeness stemmed from the fact that he also was struggling with a corrupt parent in the form of businessman father, P.N. Patel (Kulbhushan Kharbanda). Panna and Adi both find solace in a poor basti with the company of Adi's old teacher Joshi Master and in the philosophy of poet Bhau (Nana Patekar), much to the dismay of the couple's respective parents. Bhau even goes to the extent of becoming Malti's most vociferous opponent. Due to a sudden car accident, however, Adi is presumed dead and Panna loses Adi's out-of-wedlock baby before it can be born. Thus ends the second flashback.
Getting back to the kidnapping, Adi and Panna reunite after quite some time. They talk to each other and piece together the events that have occurred since their separation. Just then, the missing gang member is sent back to Adi. It is none other than Bhau, who is returned to the gang with his brain destroyed by electric shock. News also comes that Joshi Master is killed in jail and it is portrayed as a suicide. Panna and Adi then decide what the best form of poetic justice will be for their parents. They both sneak into an election campaign of Malti Bave and P.N. Patel, and explode bombs attached to them, thus destroying everything. The film ends with Panna 's father working as headmaster in a school.
Gulzar suggests that although we have already ruined the world for Generation X, we should focus our efforts into the protection and education of our school children. If we shield them from this corruption, they will become the leaders of tomorrow, and they will run the country the way it should be.

Storyline
Panna is the only daughter of politician Maltidevi. Panna is very
critical of her mother, when she decides to separate from her dad, and
asked Chief Minister Sawantrao Gadre to move in with them, for political
reasons. Sawantrao has been using Maltidevi to win his election, which
he does. Malti avenges this humiliation, wins the next election, and has
Sawantrao killed. Malti then becomes the new Chief Minister. The main
thorns on her side are Bhau, the leader of the downtrodden lower caste
dalits, and her very daughter, who is very friendly with Bhau. One day
Panna is abducted by Aditya and his group of revolutionaries, and held
by them. It is there that Panna learns about the atrocities committed by
her mom in the name of politics, and it is then she must decide whether
to be loyal to her mom, or take the side of Aditya and the
revolutionaries. Written by

From Aandhi to Hu Tu Tu
Corruption, injustice,
politics, vengeance and love, these are some of the issues Gulzar's 'Hu
Tu Tu' deals with. The story is told through flashbacks as reminisced by
Panna, a young woman who has been kidnapped in response to the
imprisonment of one of the kidnapping gang's members. Panna, the
daughter of the chief minister of Maharashtra Malti Barve, finds herself
recalling her childhood days with her domineering mother and spineless
father. The flashbacks follow Malti's rise from a school teacher to her
current occupation as a powerful politician. We see how Panna grows to
be a rebellious and carefree young woman who despises her mother. In
between the story presents Panna's relationship with none other than the
man who kidnapped her, Aditya Patel, who, like herself, had lived his
life under the shadow of his father, a wealthy and corrupted
industrialist named P N Patel. The flashbacks carry some romantic scenes
and show how Adi and Panna find solace in each other.
Gulzar's storytelling never failed to impress and this time we are presented with a well-made piece which is moving albeit less involving. Gulzar's direction is excellent and he gives every character a story of its own. While the film is quite authentic in terms of script, acting and sets, the narrative style is actually very mainstream, which is not a bad thing, but the attempt to commercialise the product as much as possible brings to a certain lack of focus. The film includes many songs (all of which were penned by Gulzar himself of course). The music was composed by the then-fresh talent Vishal Bhardwaj, and though the songs were quite melodious, not always did they feel necessary and at times they dragged the narrative quite a bit, which is a pity especially considering that the pace was quite slow. Some scenes are quite emotional, not in a melodramatic way though, and there were numerous heartbreaking scenes which would shock the viewer. The dialogues are effective and poetic, especially those mouthed by Nana Patekar, which is quite the right thing to do given his role is that of a street poet.
Where acting goes, everyone is first-rate, from leading actors to those who have tiny supporting roles. Needless to say, this is Tabu's movie and this actress is simply outstanding as the smart and honest Panna, as always infusing her character with depth and maturity. Her cut hair style really suits her and along with her tomboyish attitude contributes to the building of a persona that is as charming as it is righteous. Sunil Shetty gets a role of substance for once, and he does it very well. I was actually surprised to see him in a Gulzar movie and frankly I would have preferred to see someone like Akshay Kumar in the role, but he does a good job nonetheless. Nana Patekar is as great as always as the idealistic and kind-hearted Bhau. And finally, Suhasini Mulay, who plays the tough politician. This character is actually very similar to Suchitra Sen's Aarti from Gulzar's 1975 classic Aandhi. In my view Mulay was nowhere as good as Sen was in Aandhi, but she still was an excellent choice for the role and she did it well.
Hu Tu Tu is definitely a fine movie - interesting, intense and impressively made. The ending was quite unexpected and unsettling but it was a very effective twist which brought out an important message to the audience. My biggest regret is that, while the portrayal of romance, family and relationships was very well handled on its own, it was at times overtaken by the political side of the movie, which brings me to a personal conclusion that the movie is good, but not as good as, say, Mani Ratnam's Dil Se, or Gulzar's own Aandhi. Anyway, I recommend you to watch Gulzar's last directorial venture, mainly for the performances and also for the message, which is conveyed well and is free for individual interpretation.
