One thing that I don’t think Sooraj gets enough credit for is how he handles his actors. There’s a joke that Hum Aapke Hain Koun is a 3 and a half hour wedding video, Hum Saath Saath Hain is more like a 3 and a half hour family reunion movie.īut it works because Sooraj was still perfectly tuned in to his Barjatya magic, and so was his cast. And all of that didn’t leave much space for a thing we call “plot” that is based on something else called “conflict”. Maine Pyar Kiya had one love story, Hum Aapke Hain Koun had two, and Hum Saath Saath Hain has THREE! So many songs, so many costume changes, so many sets. Really it’s just a problem of “bigger isn’t always better”. But be aware it is just one half step farther towards “so bad it’s good” and away from “just plain good as it was intended to be seen”. It doesn’t have the pure original innocence of Maine Pyar Kiya, or the stunning sweet magic of Hum Aapke Hain Koun, but it ALMOST does! If you like the other two films, and are in a Rajshri movie, I recommend it. This is the almost-but-not-quite-as-good Sooraj Barjatya movie. Oh well, I am sure I can zip out some kind of a review in no time. I thought I’d reviewed this movie, but I’d just hosted a tweetalong.
