Very well executed
The greatest movie ever!
Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
View MoreHum Aapke Hain Koun. . . ! is a movie about family, sacrifice, duty, and most of all, love. It is a story that will bring laughter and tears, and is heart-warming all the way through. The choreography and music were excellent, the costumes were lovely and vibrant, and the cinematography was beautiful. Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan were perfect in their roles, and the supporting cast was also fantastic. This sweet film comes highly recommended.
View MoreWhat makes this movie so great wasn't the story line. Definitely not, considering for the first 2 and half hours there was virtually no conflict. The rising action of Prem and Nisha falling in love was what made this movie brilliant. Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit have the perfect chemistry and considering they were both powerhouse actors used to their full potential, this movie felt heavily realistic. The romantic interactions between the two seem like something we'd see right in front of us, as if we were apart of the family too.The rest of the cast seemed like they really were family members. The comedy and friendly interactions between all of them seemed all too common. This was the first time a movie did that while being successful. The effect was several more movies followed the Romantic Comedy without violence approach. For generations now, HAHK may seem like a cheesy and sappy love story but when it first came out, it broke records everywhere. Prem and his Bhabi have a loving relationship where he respects her like a mother but also has incredible fun with her. The traditional Desi relationship between a Bhabi and Deewar. The final Lo Chali Main song with him and his bhabi is incredibly cute and funny.This movie was and still is the best musical romantic comedy created by Bollywood. It could easily be broken down why.This movie consists of 12 musical numbers and each and every one of them were entertaining and catchy. Only 2-3 of the songs were actually deep in meaning but even they were fun to sing along too. The pathos in each song and chemistry between characters makes people like us want to go out there and dance along. Songs such as "Didi Tera Deewar Deewana" and "Wah Wah Ramji" have permanently assimilated within the Hindustani culture.As the story progresses you can see more how relationships develop and you will be hooked. It might feel too lovey dovey and happy but there are no boring scenes. Which I can only say about a few other movies such as; 3 Idiots, Lagaan and Black. If you're life isn't depressing, you'll love this movie.
View MoreDefinitely the best Indian cinema ever released or will ever release in future. Although the film is inspired from the movie "Nadiyaa Ke Paar" by the same production company. It is a completely commercialized version of this movie. And believe me the class of this movie is double.Excellent work by director Sooraj Barjathya and the most brilliant screenplay i have ever seen. Perhaps the only movie which i have seen more than 200 times and whenever i watch my interest to see it doubles and excitement doubles. The career best performances from Madhuri Dixit, Salman Khan, Renuka Shahane etc is another main highlight. A completely flawless movie i have ever watched.The brilliant songs add the beauty of the movie very much.In my top favorite songs two topping ones are from this movie. Hats off to the makers and actors of this classic.
View MoreTo me, it was just okay. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the wholesome quality of the film but it was a tad bit too long and uneven for my taste. Heck! it was longer than the Titanic and then some. The film caught my interest with its portrait of simple and traditional Indian family life and values, the way the two families connected and the way love was the center piece. The music is as classic as it is great and the wedding scenes were magnificent. I just couldn't understand the plot twist, how and why it happened. It really just threw me off.Salman Khan plays a young and plucky boy named Prem and Madhuri Dixit plays the jewel that catches his eye one day when he and his family embark on a vacation that really is a trip to review a bride for his elder brother but in disguise of a vacation. Once there, as he is busy matchmaking his brother, he spots the younger sister of his sister-in-law (played by Madhuri Dixit) and falls in love with her. Everything goes along swimming well, with cricket matches in the afternoons, loving family meetings and exchanges, nice song and dance numbers until one after when a tragic accident changes the life of the two families forever. When the dust settles, the love between Prem (Khan) and Nisha (Dixit) is forever tested when she is asked to marry her brother-in-law as a replacement for his dead wife.Who am I to you indeed! This movie left me with a blank stare.
