Hum Saath-Saath Hain

Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Saath Saath Hain is his follow-up to the immensely successful Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. Barjatya has pretty much all the same ingredients here as well. The ensemble cast are all perfectly selected for their roles and have done a good job. Most outstanding of all in the film would be Mohnish Behl. Barjatya has once again written a very meticulous script with great timing by all the artists in bringing out Barjatya's vision from the paper to the screen. The one area where HSSH lacks in is the music. Though not a bad score by any means, it needed a bit more melody and pleasantness to enhance the moods of the film better. Also, the energy that HAHK had somehow seems to be missing. But to be fair to the film, Barjatya has once again presented a very sincere and heartfelt effort. Job well done. 8/10.

HSSH is a real family entertainer. Suraj Barjatya has made the movie such that every portion of the movie fits into the main story line without any hiccups. The movie is visually rich, the music is fine. Also this is a clean movie without any sex,violence & if you are a fan of good family entertainers this is a must see.

Excellent performance from all the actors and other technicians.

Even though I am Indo-Caribbean and do like watching films just to connect with motherland,I do feel that we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.We will make films like K3G and Lagaan bigger hits overseas than good films like Chandni Bar.I waited two years to get this because I wasn't interested and because it grossed $2 million in USA and films that gross over $300,000 get pirated the fastest.

Mr Sooraj sure knows how to make the perfect formula.Put six attractive stars (and hide one) all over on trailors and posters and cd's and then only have Karishma Kapoor and Neelam (the hidden one) steal the show from the females Tabu and Sonali Bendre,which is disappointing because all four are talented,but Tabu only gets 12 lines and Sonali,probably 15.Then for our males...Salman Khan's name is first and he only gets 10 lines where Saif Ali Khan and Mohnish Behl steal the spotlight anyways.Even the supporting artiste get more lines and even the children get more scope,all Salman,Tabu and Sonali get to do is stand in the background and blush.

Well, only two good tracks are 'Mere Hiwda Mein' and 'Maiya Yashoda'.It has a really good repeat value because I have seen it three times and if you like it,then you must not like films with high meaning like Lajja,Chandni Bar,Dil Se or Astivta,and Tabu won best actress awards for Chandni Bar and Astivta.Glad she was the first actress to do crossover into art films because she is not going to waste herself any longer in silly commercial masala!

6/10

i have seen movie and bought video casette. we enjoyed the movie and felt this is a MUST see for every good family who believe in traditional values. It reminds of Ramayana. With modern values. It gives clear message about how to deal with family problems and how to control ego and how to develop let-go feelings within family members. We have preserved video just in case any dispute arise between family members, we will see the movie and get back normal unity. hats off for such a daring movie. it may be commercial failure. but these clean movies are welcome.

I liked this movie.It is quite good.It is a nice feel good movie.The movie is so colorful.The story is quite confusing.It tells about Ram and his wife Mamta and there 3 sons and 1 daughter.Their 3 sons name is Vivek,Prem,Vinod.Vivek is the adopted one.Vinod is the youngest.One day on the wedding anniversary day completes a picture(I mean lot of characters).Vivek marries Sadhana.Later Prem is engaged to Sangeeta.Later Vinod is engaged to Sapna.Skip a long story.Later they all fight and are separated.The title is good and suits the story very well.Barjatyas story telling in this tale is wonderful and confusing.I liked the bond and there emotions were excellent.Mohnish does a great job.Salman did a great job too.Saif overacted in the first half but he did good in the second half.Tabu was great.Sonali was great,Neelam was good,Karishma was pathetic in an unusual role.Alok,Reema,Ajit,Rajeev and the others did good.The 3 Lady's which played Reemas friends were annoying.Himani was okay.tc.The cinematography is excellent and flawless.The music is great with excellent picturisations.One song "Yeh To Saach Hai"showcased Mohnishs character feelings very very well.Overall A good family movie Rating-7/10
