Sham Ghansham

Sham Ghansham features a similar theme to Rakesh Roshan's 1995 blockbuster 'Karan Arjun', Abbas & Mustan's 'Soldier' (released in the same year 1998), and Subhash Ghai's 1989 blockbuster 'Ram Lakhan'. Less violent, but with a hugh twist!

Good script incorporating concepts from Ramayana & Bhagavad Gita in the plot with teachings of human values, morality and good vs. Evil.

Rakhee's motherly performance was well played and not overdone as some of the other mentioned films with a similar role.

The film is themed on the bond between mothers and sons and is also played well by the less popular cast of Arbaaz Khan, Chandrachur Singh, Pooja Batra & Priya Gill.

Amish Puri's villain role is different from other similar films and is important to the film's astounding climax which keeps one glued to their seat!

The film keeps it's focus throughout and plot, with less time being spent on too many timepass comedy scenes or item numbers.

Music by Vishal Bharadwaj is average. The strongest & most popular compositions being 'Mitwa Re' with vocals by Kumar Sanu & Alka Yagnik, the title song 'Maa Ki Mamta' & 'Tum Dono Ho Ek Se' by Lata Mangeskar, Hariharan & Sudesh Wadkar and 'Aandhi Hai Jandhi Hai' by Sukhwinder Singh & Hema Sardesai.

Worth the watch and guaranteed to keep you entertained till the end!

Sham Ghansham is a typical 90s bollywood movie. If you love watching old bollywood movies then you'll love it especially if you are a 90s kid. Only major drawback of this movie is it's mediocre music, unbearable songs seep into the story out of nowhere but thankfully in today's ott era you can easily skip them. Actresses in the movie hardly add anything to the story, Actors are good but dialogues are pretty mediocre. This movie has a print of Karan Arjun. This movie has no sexual content apart from a mild swimming pool scene where pooja batra is wearing not too revealing clothes though. You can watch this movie with your family comfortably. All in all a good watch for 90s Bollywood fans.
