This creates an unease in the overall flow of the film. I was totally lost when all the secondary characters just entered the house (without a doorbell?) and made themselves feel too much at home. While this part has been handled well, I fail to understand why the need for so many characters. The first half hour feels like a theater production when all the characters enter the stage with their own mannerisms and characteristics. While I loved his first two movies, his present one was very disappointing as it falls behind by being too overly melodramatic, which at times become rather ambiguous to the whole setting and nature of the film. The films each have a social message which looks at each stage of life.youth/love, love/marriage & family values.
All three movies was directed by Rajshri in-house director Sooraj B. The films Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994) & Hum Saath - Saath Hain (1999) had broken box-office records around the world. While most of their production remains quite unknown to many audiences, since their films was mostly consistent of new cast and production crew (making them really experimental at times), their last three production has become the most popular films ever in the history of Indian cinema. It is these films that help inspire forthcoming filmmakers, and innovate the bland Hindi cinema which is predictable and not satisfying. But at the time of their release, and when I viewed them during the 1980's, these films were very different in style and tone from the rest of conventional Hindi cinema. Most of these films presently now have more weaknesses then strengths. Basu Chatterjee), Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se (1978 Dir. Rajshri continued to produced wonderful and memorable flicks like Tapasya (1976 Dir. I'd recommend watching and enjoying it with family.
The only other Barjatya films I watched are 'Vivah' and 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun' (so it's quite clear that his films aren't to be taken too seriously) but for me 'Hum Saath Saath Hai' definitely tops those two. I'd say it's one film best watched with the family. The plot is predictable but there's more to the film. The three friends who play Lagoo's friends seem like caricatures. Alok Nath, Reema Lagoo, Shakti Kapoor and the rest of the cast are mostly brilliant. Saif is wonderful as the hyperactive Vinod as are Salman as the quiet Prem and Mohnish as the responsible Vivek. The two actresses are more than a positive addition.
She adds a lot of class and her body language is a standout. Tabu's downplayed expression in the scene right after Alok Nath and Reema Lagoo's argument is stunning. Tabu and Sonali add grace and sincerity to their characters. All the actors suit their roles very well. In addition to that the dances have been beautifully choreographed. The songs are very pleasant and nicely add to the screenplay. The set designs are impressive and the locales are spectacular (particularly the Rampur scenes). Yes, it's larger than life and some might call it 'too good to be true' but it's entertaining. The family tradition is nicely portrayed. Just sit down and enjoy it without expecting a serious drama. The moral of the story is that family should stick together, that's when they're the strongest. It's a colourful feel good film and not one that will make you seriously pick your brains. It's one of the films I enjoy most when watching with family. 'Hum Saath Saath Hai' is a simple family drama.
